After all the discussion about the disappointment in the change to
Campbell's Tomato Soup and their cream soups in general, I discovered
something while shopping yesterday.

At least 15 or more years ago Campbell's introduced a Tomato Bisque
that I liked even better than their regular tomato soup because it has
nice little bits of tomato in it. Whether you made it with water,
milk, or cream, it was very good.

Over the past several years I haven't fouynd it on the shelf in the
stores, so assumed they had discontinued it. Perhaps they actually did
for a while.

Yesterday, I found it again at Safeway. I'm having it for lunch as I
write this, and out of the can it is the same nice thick concentrate
with the same flavor that the regular tomato soup used to be.

Indeed! I picked some up today.

Thicker'n owl snot (and lots more colorful):

Definitely a spatula job.

I noticed that there's no "for thicker soup add milk" option in the
directions, either. I *think* their regular tomato soup suggests that;
probably another result of the thinning of the regular stuff. I know I
use milk if I have it.

slurping some Mmmmmmm. Comfort food.



You sound as pleased as I was!
