After all the discussion about the disappointment in the change to
Campbell's Tomato Soup and their cream soups in general, I discovered
something while shopping yesterday.

At least 15 or more years ago Campbell's introduced a Tomato Bisque that I
liked even better than their regular tomato soup because it has nice little
bits of tomato in it. Whether you made it with water, milk, or cream, it
was very good.

Over the past several years I haven't fouynd it on the shelf in the stores,
so assumed they had discontinued it. Perhaps they actually did for a
while.

Yesterday, I found it again at Safeway. I'm having it for lunch as I write
this, and out of the can it is the same nice thick concentrate with the
same flavor that the regular tomato soup used to be.

So...if you're interestd and wouldn't mind the bits of tomato, you might
want to give this a try.

Do we have that much time?

Seriously, I only bought one can (taking a chance), and have thrown it away
in our company trash, so I don't want to dumpster dive. :-)

I will say that it tastes exactly like I remembered it.

Thanks anyway. I'll try to remember to look next time I'm in the store.
Or maybe I should say n"ext time I can find the soup in the store".

We just went through that with my favorite store, or should I say what used

I have yet to see the rationale. The last time, it just seemed to be

Whoa! They use sugar, not HFCS?

This must be a premium product, indeed!

Does it say on the label where they make it?
Canada, perhaps?

It's the best taste I've had of cream of tomato soup in years, except of
course, for homemade.

I have no idea, since I don't have the can/label now.

I am going to start collecting some old can labels precisely so I can
see how these products have evolved! Sweet! Why? Now I'll have to go
check the Amy's can. (Somewhere I said Annie's. If it was here,please
not that it is Amy's.)

I didn't read the label, Kimberly, but from what Bryan posted from the

With the cost of corn rising, HFCS will be the more expensive option in
future ... good riddance.

Indeed! I picked some up today.

Thicker'n owl snot (and lots more colorful):

http://blinkynet.net/stuff/tomato_bisque.jpg (not very big)

Definitely a spatula job.

I noticed that there's no "for thicker soup add milk" option in the
directions, either. I *think* their regular tomato soup suggests that;
probably another result of the thinning of the regular stuff. I know I
use milk if I have it.

<slurping some> Mmmmmmm. Comfort food.

I never really noticed the change from thick to thin tomato. But I'm all
in favor of thick, now that I've learned that what I've been eating
was thin.

Thre was a period of time when I wasn't buying tomato soup. Then when I
did buy some, I immediately noticed that it "poured" out of the can, where
before it had to be scooped out with a rubber spatula. I don't know
exactly when it happened, bu it was a huge disappointment. The flavor had
changed, too.

At least the bisque still has the thickness and the flavor...until the
*******s at Campbell's change that one, too.
