IMO, there is nothing wrong with using a commercial premade product as
an ingredient in the meal you are making. Sure you might be able to make
it better but sometimes it's just quicker and good enough to use.

Just like the "Lipton Onion Soup"....I'll use it as an ingredient for
something else but I would never use it just to make onion soup. In that
case, making from scratch is much better.

The only Lipton soup that I love plain is their "Lipton Chicken Noodle
Soup." I love that stuff and it's comfort soup from my childhood. Only
difference now is that I use real chicken broth instead of water and I
add 3 cups of that instead of 4 cups. Makes it stronger and more
flavorful.

Lots of salt in that? You better believe it and I love it. :-D
