What are your feelings on canned soup?
It's what you put in casseroles.
>>22100726It's never very good.
>>22100726Cambells chunky clam chowder. Put in a tin of smoked baby clams. Add cayenne pepper. Enjoy.
>>22100726I feel temptation when I walk by them in the store.If I give in and purchase one, I then feel disappointment since they're never very good.Then comes the feelings of shame over having been so foolish.After that I usually watch some anime to cheer myself up, that usually makes me feel pretty happy.
>>22100741>anime>learning disability formattingEvery time.
>>22100726I ate so much of it when i was a student.
>>22100758Are you German
>>22100753This is an anime website! My silly new friend!
>>22100726It's pretty bad. Soup is so easy and cheap to make yourself, and will be magnitudes of order better than anything canned if you put even a little bit of effort in. So I just don't really see the point.
>>22100741If a can of soup is only 1 dollar, it's worth it.They're good just to have around for a dinner emergency. Or maybe you wake up one day sick as a dog and you don't feel like cooking. Or you don't have much of an appetite but should have a few sips of something.Though in the current economic climate, a can will run you 2 or 4 dollars.
>>22100857Yeah that's pretty fair and not a bad idea.They last for years so it makes sense to keep one or two around. Every now and then I'll have planned poorly and am 1 meal short before grocery shopping, so it's good to have non-perishable backups.
>>22100849i dont feel like eating leftover soup for a week
>>22100726All soup is ass, miss me with that watery bullshit. Cans are even worse because they have next to no seasoning so they can cut back on costs. Anything you can make a soup out of would be 100% better if you just put it into a pan and fried it.
>>22100726Some are better than others. Clam chowder, Italian Wedding, and that creamy wild rice and chicken, are all better and cheaper than trying to make it from scratch. Everything else sucks
>>22100726I don't think soup with vegetables or potatoes or cheese is terrible but I'm not eating that weird canned meat.
>>22100726good stuff, making a fresh soup doesn't really add any layers it's just soup
>>22100909same, the quality is horrendous
>>22100762Obviously.
The only soup I buy comes in plastic sausages, not cans.
Pick up a bunch when on sale. Shove em in the back of the cabinet for when I am sick or otherwise don't want to cook, which is rare. They are more a convenience item rather than a proper tasting meal. The Old El Paso canned soups are surprisingly good though, I recommend them.
>>22101327i ain’t never seen no shit like that !!
>>22101011wrong. you suck at cooking if you think this
>>22100873bro, your freezer??
helped me when I was a degenerate alcoholic and just needed something in my stomach I wouldn't throw up before I started drinking again. DESU the dry chicken noodle soup bags were better
>>22100857Completely agree with this>>22101447I’ll keep any eye out for them next grocery trip
>>22100726Pointless in the age of instant noodles.
>>22102149Curious why you say this? Usually instant noodles are just carbs and salt. Canned soups usually have more meat, veggies, and other such good stuff. (not including using instant noods as a base for a meal) Not trying to be a "uhhm akchually", just genuinely want more explaination.
You get what you pay for.
>>22100726An essential mid-west recipe ingredient.
>>22101537freezer? i hardly know'er!
The jeet hortons canned soups are really good but pretty expensive. I guess you're paying for the premium of avoiding the risk of contracting e coli had you bought it from the actual store.
I have a few stocked in case I catch a cold but otherwise i wouldn’t touch them
>>22100741What happy anime is your favorite?In case I accidentally buy some soup.
>>22101532i don't cook. do i look like i got bumps under my shirt, boy?
>>22100726Over salted garbage with a ton of chemicals in it. My family eats soup once a week and we always cook it from scratch. It's not that hard.
I had microwave mac n cheese an hour ago... wasn't that bad
>>22100779
>>22102517you sure do. a "man" who can't cook is no man at all. embarrassing.
>>22100726yeah I got some canned soupI once made a very successful thread about canned soup and how I was going to eat this soup for lunch
>>22102552no one thinks its hard to make soup. its hard to make one serving of soup.
>>22100726I used to eat Campbell's chinky fairly often. But they got to be too expensive to justify having regularly. As time went by and I learned to cook, I discovered how easy it is to make my own soups with whatever random ingredients I have on hand. Now canned soups taste terrible and I wonder if they were that bad always or if the quality has actually plummeted that drastically over the years.
>>22100726VERY overpriced where I live (Denmark).I could make a huge pot myself for the price of a can. And it's not like soup is hard work.
>>22100726I like to get the chickarina progresso and make sloppy little sliders using hawaiian sweet rolls.
I used to eat a lot of it in college because it's easy. Now I just freeze soup that I make and have a bunch in my fridge. Canned soup usually isn't bad it's just bland so you have to try to kick it up with hot sauce and garlic powder or something to give it some taste.
>>22102695can you exolain how they get 14 grams of protein into a single can? it doesnt seem possible
>>22105047i am not prepared to explain it at this time
>>22102599My god zoomers are fucking retarded.
>>22105047That's a fairly small amount of protein for the average can I'd say?
>>22102448>Canned soups usually have more meat,No they fucking don't. The fuck you smoking anon? Canned and instant have similar servings of meat, one is just dried. Canned has ALWAYS been light on meat, unless you are getting a literal can of meat (which is like $4-5 now). Canned soups is basically water, salt, and whatever the mfg was willing to piss into the can, which is never much. Most cans are ~350 cal or less. Just to check, I looked at a random campbells soup and a instant noodle cup. Similar protein levels (the instant noodle was a bit smaller). The soup even had more salt! Canned soup is pretty much as garbage as instant noodle. They don't even have enough veg in them. Half the time they cheap out and throw tons of potato in them. That is why I keep canned veg on hand. Will throw a little cup of carrot or corn into a soup to thicken it up with actual ingredients. Add a bit of canned meat and it's an ACTUAL meal. Canned soups are basically mostly salt water/stock with some tiny bits of meat and veg added. That being said, stuff like Dinty Moore actually makes a solid can of meat and potatoes. It's not great, but it beats the fuck out of the "soup" section. Anons really should make their own soups. Canned veg and frozen veg are perfect here! Same with canned meat. Soups & stews fix canned meat.
>>22102712Actually, it's kind of easy now? You just need to get the "kiddy" cups of veg and use smaller tins of meat, beans, and potatoes. Basically it's just water + stock paste, drain the veg and add, cut up some canned or packaged meat (or use BEANS), and add seasonings. If you have dried onion flake/powder use that. Add whatever seasoning you need for X soup type. Heat, stir, and plate. If you need more, add noodles, rice, or other starches like potato. The little instant potato mash cups can be used to thicken a soup! Noodles and rice are super easy to open and portion out being a dried product. Oh, frozen meatballs can be sliced to add meat disks like Campbells uses. Hot dogs & sausages are gotos for easy sliced meat into soups. Yes you only need like 1-2 from the pack, just zip it up for later, they keep. Now, if you want to do fish-type soups, that can get tricky from fresh. But we have deenz threads, I'm sure canned sardines work for soups. Shrimp are dead simple, just thaw what you need, keep the rest frozen.
>>22102712Really if you are gonna bother to soup, might as well scale it up for at least 1 jar of leftovers. When I make cream of crab I always make 2 servings just because it's easier from the tins of crab I get. Same when I do chili mac, just easier to use the default can size and make an extra serving for later. It keeps and it saves so much effort. But I definitely get that argument when souping with fresh ingredients. A whole white onion goes a long fucking way, and you are at 7 quarts or more when using that much onion a lot of the time. Same with carrots, you are getting them in like 4lb bags and shit, or more expensive in the 2-3lb bag baby cut style. And a lot of fresh meat packs are several pounds which means a full ass pot of soup. But guess what? Soup keeps. You can jar it. I jar mine, I have like 8 soup mugs on standby for soup/stew leftovers. You can even can your own soups! Doesn't cost much either, you just need some mason jars for like $20, and they are reusable. Just get some 32oz wide mouth jars, fill em up to like 28oz or so for head room, can them, and boom. Infinitely better soups preserved for when you want them, no more being forced to eat it all at once. FDA has pdf instructions on how to safely can things.
>>22105579We've found him. Soupanon.
>>22105546Oh you were talking about stuff like Cambells chicken noodle and such. I was talking about stuff like Cambells Chunky (20g aint bad for my favorite one), Progresso, and those Dinty Moore stews you mentioned. Those cost more but are much more meaty than those dinky, sad chicken noodle soups. Which Ramens are you talking about? All the ones I've had had zero meat in them.
>>22100726Only tolerable when you're too poor or too sick to make real soup.
>>22102552>Over saltedIs this actually true? I've found that a lot of non-canned soup that you can buy typically tastes saltier, and I think the benefit of canning is you don't necessarily need the extra salt for it to keep longer.
I like the minestrone soups.
>>22106058>when your too poor...your math literacy is shit. making soup at home is way cheaper than spending $3-8 bucks a can of soup.
This one right here
>>22106882it's also one of the better ones for adding shit like left over chicken, roast beef etc. even just paramsen cheese
>>22106953I like them as is. They make a good side or a light meal.
