Campbell’s Offers New Line Of Soups In Jars

Rick Bonino Food Editor

Everybody knows that Campbell’s soup comes in a can, right?

Not necessarily. The venerable broth merchant has come out with a line of premium soups in glass jars, including Chicken & Pasta With Garden Vegetables, which we fed to The Spokesman-Review’s reader food panel. Panelists found it decent, but rather heavy on the salt and light on the chicken flavor.

Meanwhile, we can’t help wondering what Andy Warhol would think if he were alive.

Comments: “More of a vegetable taste than chicken - noodles had good texture.” - Karen Buck
