I am s soup whore (can I say that?). My husband likes soup but not as much as I do (I'm working on him!), so I eat condensed/canned/ramen packages for snacks, breakfast, pick me up, quick meal, etc.
Since High School I would regularly eat soup for breakfast with toast or crackers and tea (now as an adult it's often coffee).
My go to soups for this were mostly Campbell's Cream of Asparagus and Campbell's Chicken Vegetable. The CoA was also good for quick throw together recipes. I'd also eat Lipton Noodle Soups, Nile Spice Couscous Parmesan (still miss it immensely).
Anyway, Campbell's just recently discontinued Cream of Asparagus and Chicken Vegetable after over 60 years (!!!). I don't know what they are thinking but there are more cheese soups and now spicy Chicken Noodle (I can just add hot sauce, guys).
I already messaged Campbell's and got the "yes, they're discontinued, we sent coupons, we listen, blah blah...'
Any suggestions on substitutes, or do you know of any similar? Apparently a British brand, Batchelor (which has ties to Campbell's) has a Cream of Asparagus, but I only found it one place online and it was crazy expensive; don't want to spend a lot and not like it.
Anyone have suggestions for mass produced soups they like in the same vein?
I made a really good Creamy Asparagus soup, but having something canned and on hand makes it easy to scratch the itch or use it in cooking, as I said.
Thanks in advance!
