I try to veer away from canned soups, because of consistency and what I consider a lack of flavor balance in many brands, both Campbells and Progresso, but I do have a few favorites. BTW: I have this phobia about "meat" in cans, so I never buy soups with chicken or beef, the idea of canned meat is grim. I personally consider Progresso to be the better of the two. The Vegetarian Classics are decent, although I find myself having to alter them, for example ones that are too thick, I dilute with chicken broth and a pat of butter, which gives it a richness; and the Progresso split pea soup is watery, so after heating it a bit, I take a hand mixer and whip it up, this breaks up the peas and makes it thicker. The Progresso Onion Soup with Vidallia Onion, is perfect for making French Onion soup, toast up some French Bread add some Swiss Cheese, and broil or microwave and I find that incredibly satisfying. There was a recipe my Mother used to make for meatloaf, that she got from Campbells soup, it calls for condensed Mushroom soup, and although in theory it sounds horrible to me, it is actually fanastic, and I occasionally make that when I hunger for comfort food. And count me in on the Campbell's Tomato soup and Grilled Cheese sandwhich! I love it!
