Today, I tried one of the new Cambell's V8 soups
(http://www.campbellsv8soup.com/) and it was everything I hoped for
and more. The one I tried was the Sweet Red Pepper. And it was very
thick, mildly spicy, but not hot at all, and the taste was fabulous!

Initially, when I saw it at the store, I thought that is was a small
package, but it is 18 oz, so it is over a pound. Not bad. The first
thing I noticed was when I opened the container, how slowly the soup
poured out as it was that thick. I thought as it poured that this
would be a great to pour over cabbage rolls.

I bought two different soups and the other one I got is Southwestern
Corn. I cannot wait to try this. If you click the link I provided
above, you will see the other varieties they are currently offering.

The only thing missing was the crackers which I forgot to buy.

Have you read the ingredients, to see what makes it thick like that?

Each container is two measly cups. All the flavors are mighty high in
salt. How much do they cost.

================================================== ======
I bought Red Pepper and Tomato Herb. Haven't tried either. Probably
tomorrow after Yom Kippur is over.

I just spent my Yom Kippur no-lunch-break between services making
tabbouleh for the temple's break the fast meal. Boy am I getting
hungry!

Lynn in Fargo
Who added Paul Newman's (alav hashalom) Light Lime Vinaigrette to the
tabbouleh in honor of Paul's non-praticticing Jewish father and his
born Roman Catholic-converted to Christian Science mother. No wonder
he preferred to duck the " What religion are you?" question!

The web site doesn't list ingredients... hmmm, wonder what
a big outfit like Campbell's has to hide. This is the time of year
when there is an abundance of those type of crops rotting in the
fields so instead of plowing them under why not just cut away the
worst of the rot and critter bites and market designer soups at killer
prices.
And the nerve, they say you need scissors to open the carton... very
cheaply designed, not very convenient.

Very pricy for convenience... you're paying mostly for marketing,
packaging, and water... those single ingredient soups are extremely
easy to prepare and since they're meatless very inexpensive to make
yourself... make up a big potful, like eight quarts and freeze in
serving size containers. I bet most anyone can make a better tasting
simple soup at home with very littel effort. I don't particularly
care for puree soups anyway, especially not those made by others
(never know what/who's in it), I like chunky soups, soups with stuff
to sink my teeth into, not those that just slide down... I don't find
soups you just drink very satisfying. Anyone wants to make that corn
soup all they gotta do is spend like four bucks on a #10 can of
creamed corn to use as a base, and add a few inexpensive seasonings.
Of course I'd add a mess of diced carrots, onions, celery, garlic,
parsley, even some bacon and limas... add some water/stock and end up
with 8 qts of *premium* soup for maybe a buck a quart... you paid $6/
qt for mediocre mystery gruel. You can do the same with a #10 can of
tomatoes, use canned pumpkin/yams for the squash soup, use potato
flakes, use your brain.

Hate to tell you this, Anthony, but I can make a large pot of vegetable soup
for not much more than that. I'll even throw in some pasta and call it
"minestrone".

Thanks. If they will make a good meal expander (used as a sauce), they
do indeed sound interesting. I'll have to see how bad the sodium
content is tho'.

LOL, I don't think that macaroni is what qualifies it as "minestrone"

Some people pointed out that you could make this cheaper. I'm the
only one in my household who a) likes various soups, b) works at home
so sometimes being able to open a box is a Good Thing (especially
squash or tomato soups). Getting four meals for the price is a good,
labor saving deal.

I also save meat/chicken 'pieces parts' and make stock about every six
months. I reduce it, then freeze in half-cups in a non-stick-sprayed
muffin tin and put the frozen pucks into the cheapest sandwich bags I
can find (the don't really freezer-burn), We use the pucks as an
ingredient OR we also use them to 'enhance' canned chicken noodle soup
(household choice for illness).

I'm looking for the discussed product in my markets now and haven't
seen it. Which is odd because we're usually the 'test market' capitol
of the world (KC, MO).
