Canned condensed soup
Do you guys ever add that recommended 1 full can of water to your soup when you cook it? I never do. Never have. Im guessing my parents didn't either since I dont . Or maybe I just chose to do it this way. Who knows.
I will add just a 'little' water if its too think . Depends on the brand and type of canned soup. Like cream of chicken I always add about 1/4 a can to make it thinner and easier to eat and seem to get more of. If you count chili then I do the same. Unless Im using the chili for hotdogs. Keep it thick then.

Re: Canned condensed soup
I use milk (where applicable), and usually less than the full amount. However, most canned soup I see nowadays comes already mixed.

Re: Canned condensed soup
I've always added liquid (water or milk, depending on the type) to condensed soup if I am making it to eat as soup (as opposed to using it as an ingredient in a recipe of some sort). These days, though, I usually buy ready-to-eat soup rather than condensed since the RTE soups are generally much better quality, so there's no reason to add liquid.

Re: Canned condensed soup
I only add some milk to tomato soup. Super improves it. Learned that from my father in law. He made THE best tomato juice and soup. Then at the end he'd add milk. Mm mm. His own home grown tomatoes.

Re: Canned condensed soup
(I add the water. And also additional salt and seasoning, because I always find condensed soup to be really bland.)

Re: Canned condensed soup
I don't think I've ever eaten condensed soup with or without added water or milk. In college I'd occasionally have soup but only the ready to eat kind. I've always preferred sardines and crackers for a shelf stable meal in a pinch.

I make soup from scratch. Have never had canned soup that I know of. Maybe in childhood.

Re: Canned condensed soup
I mostly use condensed soup as an ingredient for other dishes. Sometimes a can of mushroom soup along with some sautéed mushrooms on top of pork chops, a can of tomato in Shipwreck, or a can of cream of celery in my mother's Hamburger Chinese which I all of a sudden find myself extremely hungry for. Did the Shake & Bake, might as well do the Hamburger Chinese next. On the rare occasion I eat condensed soup the way it was intended, it would be tomato soup served along with a grilled cheese sandwich.

Re: Canned condensed soup
After thinking about it some more, I'm sure I used to eat canned soup when I was a kid. I remember chicken noodle and chicken & stars specifically.

Re: Canned condensed soup
Mom did canned soup and grilled cheese a lot when I was very young. I occasionally live that childhood experience. I keep a couple of cans of chicken noodle and cream of mushroom around for that purpose. Only now I eat an entire can (plus water that rinses the can) instead of a small bowl.
Grilled (sometimes meat, sometimes egg, sometimes both, sometimes neither) cheese has become a regular thing for me again since "retirement." Not because of affinity for them but for my affinity for a hot sandwich and a grilled cheese and probably plus something is the easy way to eat a hot sandwich.

It's only chowdah when Ahnold comes to sup.
Edit: I try to make conversation, but he always says, "Can we get to the chowdah?"

Re: Canned condensed soup
I have done this a time or two. Not by preference (and not with a knife), but when in need of food with near-zero time to make or consume it. Popped the top off, chugged it out of the can. Entire meal was less than a minute.
Not terribly pleasant, but it served a need.

Well, what I like to do with condensed soup is slowly reduce it down to a dense glaze and serve it with salted crackers.

Re: Canned condensed soup
When my wife is sick she likes to cook Campbell's Chicken with Rice on the stove top. She'll leave it cooking until it no longer has the consistency of soup but is more a ricey porridge.
It's kinda gross and I'm glad she only does it when she's sick.

Re: Canned condensed soup
When I have canned soup for myself, it's typically Campbell's Chunky or the Progresso equivalent, in which case no water is added since they're not condensed. When the twins are home from school we'll often do a soup and sandwich lunch, though, that uses Campbell's condensed. That, of course, gets the mandatory additional can of water because I'm not a monster.
I think most condensed soups already contain approximately 2000% of your recommended salt intake for a month. Campbell's Chicken Noodle is like a salt lick with noodles and small chicken bits.

Re: Canned condensed soup
This. People adding salt to condensed soup blows my mind. It has one of the highest concentrations of salt on the grocery store shelf (which is also why you almost always see a low sodium version as well).ImLawBoy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 11:15 am When I have canned soup for myself, it's typically Campbell's Chunky or the Progresso equivalent, in which case no water is added since they're not condensed.

That’s why my joke reply was to put the condensed condensed soup paste on a salted cracker.

Yeah, one can is 2225 mg of salt.
98% of the recommended daily allowance. Which is still a ton
