I can't speak for Ray, Swanson, or Campbell, but I've tried the
Pacific brand and Trader Joe's and they leave much to be desired.
Consumer Reports (which I know some folks around here do not like)
gave the canned stocks a mediocre to poor rating.

If you've used the store-bought stuff before and liked it, I'd buy a
carton and try it. The worst that will happen is you'll season the
heck out of it to make it palatable, and not buy it again.
