When I was a child I loved Heinz tomato and veg soups I haven't had one
of those in an eon <g> I have only heard of using soups in recipes since I
have read about them here. Now I see them on US cooking sites.

For a quick tomato soup that's pretty good, I once tried a can of
Campbell's. I added water, not milk. And 2/3 can of water rather than
a full can. What turned it good was one chopped up fresh garden tomato
picked from my garden. A tasteless store tomato won't work. Finally a
good amount of fresh course ground black pepper.

My mother used to cook thin pork chops to death (at my dad's
insistence). Not good at all like that but then she started adding a
can of Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup (undiluted) to the cooked
chops. Covered and simmered for a bit. I really loved that.

One more thing that's pretty tasty to me -

In a pinch and especially if you're using leftover meat or no meat, a
decent gravy can be had by combining a can of Campbell's Cream of
Mushroom soup with a can of their Cream of Chicken soup. Add about 1/2
cup of milk to the combined cans, heat and spoon over meat, potatoes
and even some vegetables like green beans.

I've also use this gravy combo in shepherd's pie.

I've always been slammed here for mentioning these soup uses but I
don't care. It works for me. These soups are not good for making as
stated on the can. If I want mushroom soup, I'll make it from
scratch. I see nothing wrong with using them as ingredients in a
recipe though. Not everything has to be completely made from scratch
to be good. YMMV! :-D

Do you still do that? Perhaps it is down to what you had when you are
growing up It simple doesn't strike a chord with me I prefer to make
my own sauces from scratch, but then I can't think off hand, what I don't
make from scratch.

One can each of cream of chicken, cream of mushroom, and cream of celery poured over SKINLESS chicken pieces (your favorite cut) that are in the crockpot and cooked 6-8 hours on low is scrumptious. Serve the chicken and the resultant delicious gravy over cooked rice and a green vegetable or salad. YUMMMMM

You're not in the Navy anymore. Not everyone wants or needs to make 16
quarts of soup at a time. Not everyone has a separate freezer, either.
(I do but it's not huge.) As much as I enjoy homemade soup I'm not
interested in filling the freezer with enough soups to feed the block.
Eight quarts of soup, stew or chili at a time works just fine for me;
there's plenty left to freeze.

That soup was very often served with grade school cafeteria lunch... I
always went back for seconds... I don't know that it was Campbell's
but tomato soup with elbow macaroni was my favorite... haven't had it
since so I will make some soon. Another I liked was tomato soup with
frankfurter coins.

I remember it on spaghetti. We didn't know much about Italian food back
then. Perhaps that it is the root of my lack on interest in pasta with
red sauce.

A very common lunch for us back then was tomato soup and grilled cheese
sandwiches, which were especially good if you slipped the sandwich open
and put in a bunch of thin sliced sweet pickles.

I think the condensed soups for sauces is an American thing.

When I lived alone, there were a few things that went into the freezer.
Pancakes, muffins, croquettes and potsitckers. But there would be no way I
would want to eat the same soup again and again and again. I don't even do
8 quarts either. 2-4 is plenty.

I do live alone and have the eating habits of a three-year-old. I can
eat the same thing for days on end. I froze my 8 quart pot contents in
two big containers and left a third container in the fridge. It's a
quick meal in a bowl when I don't feel like cooking.

I don't mind eating the same food 2-3 days in a row, tonight will be
the 3rd time for that eye round roast, but each time I change the
sides... and there'll still be enough roast left for a 4th time but
since it's already sliced I will julienne it and freeze it for a
Chinese stir fry. I cook large pots of soup because I don't like to
spend all day cooking all the time, this way I have enough to last a
while, doesn't mean I have to eat it every day. Takes no more effort
to cook 16 quarts as 8 quarts... before I cook two quarts of home made
soup I'd open a can, and that's exactly what I believe my detractors
do... no one who claims to cook soup is going to cook two quarts worth
from scratch, unless it's doctored canned or ramen.

Nonsense! It's quite easy to do if it is something like a bean soup or you
have small portions of leftovers to use up.

When we were kids, we ate gallons of Campbell' Vegetable Beef with Barley, as well as their various chicken noodle soups. I was calibrated on chicken noodle
to the point where I would turn up my nose at Grandma's homemade.

The salient characteristic of all Campbell's soups was an excess of sodium.
No home cook would take the lid off the salt shaker the way Campbell's did.

My MIL would use tomato soup to make her fabulous stuffed cabbage. But only
Heinz brand, produced in Canada, but occasionally making its way south of
the border. Occasionally my mother would make a casserole recipe that called
for cream of mushroom soup, but none of us really cared for those. They
stretched a pound of ground beef into a filling dinner for five.

Regarding restaurant soups -- if not entirely pre-fab, they begin with
a "soup base" a la "Better than Bouillon."

We ate all sorts of Campbell's. The only soups I remember my mom making
were navy bean and potato. I would not eat her potato soup. To me it was
like milk with chunks of potato. Just yuck.

I remember sending away for a free sample of Canadian soup when Angela was
little. I think the brand was E.D. which has now morphed into something
else. The advertising went something like... Why feed your family cheap
soup when you can get this? And it went on to claim that it was made with
only high quality ingredients. My eye! Although it did taste good, it was
nothing but crap.

I mainly only keep canned soup around for when someone is sick. They likely
need the sodium then. Otherwise, soup is easy to make! I used to think
that it must be difficult as my mom so rarely made it. But I think the real
reason is that she just doesn't like soup!

I do make soup from time to time and like the kind you can stand a
fork in, but I tend to agree with your mother.
