Campbell's Red & White Tomato Soup, 10.75-Ounce Cans (Pack of 48) Review

I've been eating a lot of soup lately as part of my diet. And I'm happy to say that this old childhood favorite is actually food. Unlike Campbells other soups you don't need an encyclopedia to understand what's in it. There's tomato puree, high fructose corn syrup, spices, salt and Ascorbic and Citric Acids.
No MSG. No hydrolyzed anything. Granted I am not a fan of corn syrup, but I'm giving them a break because it goes so good with crackers or a grilled cheese sandwich.
Still killer sodium levels but if you eat the whole can mixed with water it's only 225 calories.

Lipton Cup-A-Soup Tomato, 4-Count Pouches per Box (Pack of 12) Review

These are stocked in the snack room at work. I tried a few and thought they were pretty good, so I now have them at home for quick snacks. They taste about as good as canned soups, but calling them "soup" is a stretch. These are powdered mixes, so the soup is broth and noodles. I'm OK with that for a snack, but these would never be confused with stew or even real soup. ;-)
For me, the main attraction is convenience. They mix fairly well with hot water, but I use a small battery-powered blender to eliminate the clumps. This doesn't work so well for the ones with noodles.
My main concern is the sodium. I usually dilute it with at least 30% more water because it's just too salty. The calories are fairly low except for the tomato, which I found surprising. But I see that there's 13g of sugar in every packet. Wow!
Cal/Fat . . . Salt . . Sugar . . . Flavor
. 45/10 . . 470mg . . 01g . . Spring vegetable
. 45/10 . . 550mg . . 00g . . Chicken noodle with white meat
. 60/10 . . 600mg . . 02g . . Hearty chicken noodle

. 90/00 . . 520mg . . 13g . . Tomato
(Sorry about the periods, but Amazon keeps compressing out multiple spaces.)
These are my favorites in order of preference:
1. Tomato: This is pretty good tomato soup -- guess it's the sugar. ;-) And it's too salty.
2. Chicken Noodle with White Meat: The "white meat" is just a memory (no chunks), but still, it's pretty good. Too salty.
3. Cream of Chicken: Not exactly "creamy", but slightly thicker than the chicken noodle. Too salty.
The price is amazing. At $16.64 for 12 4-packet boxes, it's 35¢/packet. I usually use two for an afternoon snack/meal that will last me a couple of hours for less than $1.00. These same boxes are available elsewhere for up to twice this price.
I like buying by the case, but I wish they had a variety pack. They have a shelf life of about a year.
The 4 rating is because of the sodium. I would give it a 5 if it were lower.
