Tomayto, Tomahto. All Canned
Soups Are Not Created Equal.
BY KRISTEN AIKEN
E LOVE TOMATO
SOUP. There is absolutely nothing in the
world that’s better at
cozying up to grilled cheese, and
we’re fans of making it in big, hearty
batches on our stovetops at home.
But no one’s perfect. The flu
hits. You’ve had a rough week at
work. You’re starving and need
to make dinner in five minutes.
None of those situations permit a
leisurely hour of simmering and
blending, so you’ve got to do it.

When things get dire, you’ve got
to go to the pantry (which as food
lovers we equate with “going to the
mattresses”). Lucky for you, some
canned (or boxed, now that we’re
in 2013) tomato soups are actually
pretty delicious.
We blind-tasted 10 popular
brands and flavors of tomato soup,
judging on flavor and texture. We
were betting on the traditional
Campbell’s as an easy winner,
but alas ... ahead, find out
which brands are the tops.
As always,
this taste
test was
in no way
influenced
or sponsored by
the brands
included.
