It's not only corn syrup...it's high fructose corn syrup, which is sweeter even than
corn syrup! I never liked canned soup, except for Campbell's tomato...and now I can't
stand that. It makes me so sad that I'll never have the real stuff again. It was part
of every cold when I was a kid, tomato soup and grilled cheese.
