Yes I noticed the same thing! I've been eating Campbells tomato soup
since I was a kid so I knew right off something was wrong! Now it taste
like those watered-down generic brands. How could they change what has been
an American classic for all these years? At the least they could have
given us a choice! What the customer wants doesn't matter much to big
business these days. :(

Do they sell Campbells Cream of Tomato Soup in the US? The best canned
tomato soup I had was in London where Cream of Tomato Soup is the only
kind, and it is so much smoother than the normal tomato soup in the US.
When I went to London, I brought back 6 cans of different brands of
Cream of Tomato soup. I'm already down to 3 left...

I love Campbell's cream of tomato soup made with 1 1/2 cans milk and a
pat of butter melted in. Then I tear up bread and put it into the
soup. Yummy!

And have you tried putting some grated extra sharp Cheddar (or Gruyere)
into the bowl before the hot soup? Also Yummy. Let it snow, who cares!
(Yes, folks, that time of year is coming again :) )

Campbells Cream of tomato soup in the red and white labeled can :-).

I grew up on this stuff--and still enjoy it--although I added crumbled saltines until the spoon was able to
stand up in the mixture. I find it amazing that a product can be cosnistent in character and flavor through
decades of manufacture. How do they do it?

I love it with milk! I also add a little oregano and basil, and some
freshly grated parmesan cheese for a nice change!

That reminds me;

I'm old enough to remember when Campbells cream of Mushroom soup
actually contained a reasonable amount of mushrooms....

( same goes for the chicken bits in their cream-of-chicken soup )

Hell, I just tear up the sandwich and drop it in the soup. I sometimes
(especially in the summer when the vine ripened one are in season) put
sliced tomatoes in my grilled cheese. I use a combination of grated sharp
and american cheese (sometimes I even use Velveeta - take that!).

Yummo!

I make a great tomato quiche. Just fresh skinned, deseeded tomatos,
cheddar cheese, fresh chives and the typical egg and milk custard.

It's broken alright:
"Tomato Puree (Water, Tomato Paste), Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup,
Wheat Flour, Salt, Vegetable Oil (Corn, Cottonseed, Canola and/or
Soybean), Flavoring, Ascorbic Acid, and Citric Acid."

You make a tomato soup using tomatoes and all kinds of crap and it
still doesn't taste good. You still have to add... wait for it...
"flavoring". That could be anything, deepfried cockroach turds, for
instance.

Progresso's Hearty Tomato Soup I think is far better than

Campbell's. As a canned soup Progresso is as close to homemade as it

fry a little flour in your favorite oil or butter
for a few moments. add a small can of tomato paste,
some garlic powder and onion powder and if you want
more salt you can add that too and then whatever
liquids you want to make it a soup.

this is much less expensive than Campbells and
you can do what you want with it.

The OP doesn't mention *which* Campbell's soup. Not tomato, not chicken
noodle, not... anything. Just a general statement "this soup has
changed". A complaint about nothing specific other than a brand.

Canned soups have been going downhill for decades. If you want good
soup, you gotta learn to make it yourself. Of course the OP won't.

We usually have a can on hand because it is a quick and easy meal if you
are not up to cooking.

That said, making soup is not difficult at all. It does take some time
though as it has to cook for some time. We use an 8 quart pot. I made
chicken vegetable a couple of weeks ago. My 8 quarts had more chicken
meat than Campbells puts in a 55 gallon drum.

Maybe you should pay attention to the topic-line in this case...

That sounds like a good scratch recipe. I also like to put
chopped fresh garden tomatoes into tomato soup and a bit of real
onions. I don't like pureed/mushy soup of any kind.

Ps- basil goes well in that soup too.

The Subject line answers your query... I always consider the Subject
line.

Often someone wants just one serving and quick... canned soups fill
the bill. I make a lot of my own soups that I freeze but sometimes I
want something different which is why I keep a selection of canned
Progresso soups Usually during winter Canned soups go on sale,
Progresso at $1 per can any flavor is a good buy. I also like
Progresso because it's not condensed, just pour into a bowl and nuke
it. With Campbells some flavors I eat straight from the can, no added
water, no heating... vegtable beef is good that way.

I was looking around for some canned tomatoes and came across a couple of cans of Campbell's soup. One had a picture of a Star Wars character and the other had a picture of the characters from the animated movie "Cars." I don't know what kind of soup they were since it wasn't evident on the label. The cans had pull top lids - that's a pretty good improvement. All cans should have that.

Andy Warhol had it right. The important part of Campbell's soup isn't what's inside, it's what's on the outside of the can.

I think that canned soups are the reason I was never much of a soup
eater. Working on the road and eating a lot of restaurants meals exposed
me to soups and I learned that they can actually be good.

Yes, I have noticed a considerable change. Soup of yesteryear was much creamier and yummy, we now have a cheapo watered down acidic version. I made a C. soup based favorite recipe for my grown children last eve, we threw most of it away. Forget Campbell!

Considerable change that I, for one, don't care about. Didn't care
about it during the ancient discussion dreged up here.

I guess I missed it.
Was it dredged up from 20+ years ago up by a recent jewish apologist?

Campbell's has always produced the very worst canned tomato soup...
anyone can produce tomato soup that's much better by far with a can of
tomato paste.

No. The gmail address suggests Google Groups, but I'm too lazy to look
further.

There are a lot of bored people at home sitting at their computer saying
"What does this pull-down menu on the Google home page do?"

Yep. The original post was from May of 2018. I doubt the answer has
changed in 2020.

Yes, its awful. I had to throw it out. Tasted the same or worse than the store brands. I was SO looking forward to the soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Betty

Well, if it has been around as long as the post to which you were
replying, no wonder it tastes off!

i have also noticed the change - it is redder in color and very runny pouring it out of the can. It must also be more acidic because I can now be assured of a horrible case of heartburn after eating what used to be a delicious meal of tomato soup and grilled cheese. I hope they change it back! When you have a good thing going - LEAVE IT ALONE!

I have not noticed a difference in Campbells tomato soup through my
lifetime. Of course, when the post from 1997 that you are replying to
was made, I was two years old, so my input doesn't me a whole lot here.

Ok, who's going to complain the first that someone replied to a post
from 1997? Jill or Joan?

Haha, yes, not as relavent now. Perhaps the soup recipe was changed
some time in the late 80s/early 90's, however? Basically anyone else
here, other than me, ought to have been around to know. :)

Jill doesn't normally fuss about posts from back in the day. She still probably doesn't like them, but i've never seen her complain.

Anyway, Campbell's soup writing did change I see. in 2010 ...

Master druce is just sniffing jill's ass. Nothing new.

She rarely farts, but you should see the master when she does let
