Campbell's finally got the message?!!

In article said:

They're finally bringing low sodium soups to market. I just saw a commercial
for it.

I wonder if it will cost more to dump less salt in their soup.

I've been able to purchase a low sodium campbell's soup in two varieties
at my local grossery store now for several years. Cream of mushroom and
chicken noodle. They really were low in sodium, tasted like sh** and
were 3 times the price of the regular soup. And they were not condensed
to give you a better deal.

It's going to take some convincing that they really have figured it out.

In the meantime, I make soup myself.

And it freezes well.

Om,

You're right. Campbells can't make soup!!!

Sodium is tricky, given the serving sizes and condensed or not. The new 25%
Less Sodium is based on the Classic Chicken noodle soup but it seems that
the Low Sodium is lowest of them all. Calories do jump around a little as
well.

I can't begin to guess the difference between "Chicken Noodle," "Chicken
with Noodles" and "Chicken with Egg Noodles" soups.

George,

I'm waiting for it to be split-pea soup season. My all-time favorite
soup!!! I could live on that soup alone! Well there's always gumbo which I
learned back in March. Probably time for another batch. Not too sure about
gout vs. shrimp/crab/sausage gumbo. :| Three no-nos in the same bowl!?!

I'll just read labels and worry about it then. :-)

Looks like they are making an effort but I wonder how they TASTE!

Campbell's substitutes Potassium Chloride in their Low Sodium V-8 and
that stuff actually tastes really good...

but the price is assinine and not very affordable. If it was the same
price or close to their regular price at least, it'd be a regular part
of my diet. I LOVE low sodium V-8 but cannot afford it!

It is made by Campbell's.

Using a pressure cooker, stock is too easy to make. I've not purchased
canned or cubed stock/broth in a very long time, but I have freezer
space to spare...

Hell, I've ended up with extra stock to give away! Lynn is always happy
to accept it.

I've been eating low sodium for so long now, I've become rather
sensitive to salt. It's a real pain if I try to eat at "chain"
restaurants such as Olive Garden and that ilk.

<sigh>

Now I need to learn to make my own low sodium V-8 affordably. <g>

Same here. I threw away my salt shaker years ago. I don't use salt
substitutes like Mrs. Dash. I still have a box of kosher salt from about 4
years ago probably 3/4 full. I use salt for my split-pea soup. Without it,
it tastes bland.

I saw the other brands they own. Pepperidge Farm came as a surprise.

This shouldn't come as any surprise - the low-sodium veggies have
always been more expensive than the usual kind.

I've been able to get low-sodium Campbell soups for a long time. But
I generally don't buy soup, except for tomato.

I admit that canned soup is one of the few things I miss here. Sure, I make
lots of soups, but when you're sick that can is very appealing.

We go thru a pound of "Real Salt" maybe every couple of years.
It is a necessary addition to home made soups, but at least _I_ get to
control the quantity to taste!

I still keep a salt shaker on the table and next to the stove, but they
don't need filling very often. ;-)

Honestly, I really do like the low sodium V-8. Makes for a good quick
snack. I would buy it a lot more if it was not so damned expensive!

Hm. Not here. The "No Salt Added" store brand canned veggies are the
same price as the others. The Brand name ones (Del-Monte etc.) I'm not
sure about. I don't generally get them if I can get store brand.

Ditto here.
I don't buy tomato soup either. I can get no salt added canned tomatoes
and tomato paste and use those instead.

I agree with that. :-)
If I'm sick tho', I don't get canned soup. I send dad to the local
chinese restaurant for take out Hot and Sour soup. That stuff is so
soothing and delicious!

Huh? Campbell's has had low sodium soups for several years under the
"special request" name.

Yep, Andy just doesn't read too well (among other things he
doesn't do well). The story goes: Now Campbell's is trying to
beef up awareness of them by launching a campaign announcing that
they're made with "Natural Sea Salt".

Now I'll have to wait to go shopping. I'm sure people will be
flocking to the stores.

The powdered variety? I just use Diamond Crystal popcorn salt on
popcorn (which I make most nights) and on nearly everything else. I
dislike coarse ground salt.
