If you like Campbell’s, why not just eat Campbells? I do (but I "doctor" it with ketchup). I also make my own bean soup from time to time, but I don’t expect it to taste like a commercial canned product.

Redundant post?

What are you saying? That you don’t like my asking a perfectly reasonable question to which I’d like a reasonable answer, criticism by self-appointed censors aside?

Then I shall elaborate. We have often discussed here how to duplicate hard-to-obtain or no-longer-made commercial products. But Campbell’s soup is certainly easy to get and, if you like it, much easier to prepare than making soup from scratch. I’m wondering why anybody would bother to make it from scratch if the objective is to duplicate what comes easily from the can (no criticism for liking what comes from the can implied).
