Campbells

Who doesn't know Campbell's when it comes to soups? This was the only condensed easy to heat soup that I knew when I was a child and the name would just bring water to my mouth instantly. Campbell's has been making soups for ages now and they have also started making pasta sauces, simple sauces, gravies and most recently they have introduced beverages as well.

campbells soups have been around since 1897 so have stood the test of time! my mum always had plenty of tinned stuff in store 'just in case' and i think i've inherited this from her as i always feel 'safe' with a few tins in my cupboards including campbells soups. i've tried many different brands of soup but always stick to heinz or campbells as cheaper ones tend to be more watery & taste of artificial flavourings. campbells make great consistency soups - i like the traditional tomato (andy warhol) vegetable and the mushroom flavours - all really tasty and very versatile. i usually pay around 59p for 1 can of condensed - ...  Read the complete review
