Random things I have learned about myself over the years: I am extremely unlikely to make or eat chicken noodle soup unless I am caught in the grip of a REALLY nasty cold and/or mild flu. I have stopped regularly catching really nasty colds and/or mild flu since I stopped working retail. Therefore, there is no point in buying nice chicken noodle soup or any soup in the general chicken-soup family.
I will, however, quite happily eat bean soups, split pea soups, lentil soups, and various chowders. So my emergency backup canned soup supply should lean toward those options rather than anything chicken-based. Beef stews are also an option worth considering.
Tomato-based soups are right out for reasons that are not worth exploring at this juncture. *wry*
(Note: obviously this does not apply to hotdishes. I do buy and use cheap-ass Campbell's condensed chicken noodle soup cans to make Laddie's hotdish, but as hotdish is not soup I don't think that's relevant here.)
This post brought to you by the really tasty split pea soup with ham that I had a couple days ago, and the lentil vegetable soup that I had for lunch today and intend to have the second serving of for dinner tomorrow. :)
