I KNOW what the hell they are. H-E-B IS MY STORE.These are not Hill Country Fare (the HEB lowest price point store brand). These are H-E-B branded soups. H-E-B has always had two levels of store brands, HCF being the lower quality (but still good) and offering a limited selection that is mostly basics; H-E-B is their premium store brand, comparable in every way except price to the name brands as far as quality and varieties offered. HCF has never offered as many varieties as Campbells OR the H-E-B brand.
The price point for the Cream of Jalapeno and Cream of Poblano soups IIRC was about a dime less, give or take, from the standard Campbell's Cream of XYZ soups.
I know you don’t like Amazon, but Amazon had it a couple of hours ago. On Subscribe and Save, it was $23 or so for a case of 12 cans.Well, ya'll have put me on a quest. I'm going to be seriously looking for Cream of Bacon soup. Ever since someone mentioned it, I've been craving a pork roast smothered in the stuff cooked all day in my crock pot, LOL! I didn't even know it existed.

That was too rich for my blood, so I didn’t get any, though I did pick up a case of Beans and Bacon soup, about $14 using Subscribe and Save.
But if you are looking for some Creme of Bacon, try Amazon.
I sure hope your mouth gets to healing fast, SB!Campbell's Chunky Baked Potato and Steak with Cheese is what I've having right now, LOL. Yeah, flung a craving on me, too. I had dental work done, Wednesday, and I am still only able to eat soup. Early supper, since I missed lunch. I'm having to mash everything up to get it in my mouth. No chewing involved.
Feel better soonest!
Almost as entertaining as those midget videos?I have enjoyed this thread.
like a drug dealer giving you more 'product'........I sure hope your mouth gets to healing fast, SB!
I hate going to the dentist - especially now that they think I am too old to give a lollypop to!
Sorry no, but it beats the hell out of all the end of the world stuff. I can wrap my head around a bowl of soup.......Almost as entertaining as those midget videos?
I prefer wrapping my lips around it, but hey, whatev….
you can always make a new account with a different email address. I have two account.Amazon screwed up our account a few months back, and to date, we've not been able to get it straightened out. That's why we don't use them. I can have our DIL order for us.

Plus at least 6 different chk noodle variations.
The one I missed the most when I decided it was ridiculous to pay over $2 for 22 ounces of soup (diluted concentrate) was their Manhattan Clam Chowder. I found a clone recipe, and I make 5 gallons every fall. We grow every ingredient except the clams and salt. Which reminds me: I need to see if there is a restaurant supply store in the nearest city, or if Costco carries the big (and fairly economical) cans of clams.About the only soup I buy is New England Clam Chowder. I can make better soups than I can buy then I freeze the left overs.
best of luck in your venture. it souds nice. yes, those left overs can really add up!The one I missed the most when I decided it was ridiculous to pay over $2 for 22 ounces of soup (diluted concentrate) was their Manhattan Clam Chowder.

I bought my second All-American canner (the 915, which holds 8 regular pints or 7 quarts) to can "planned overs"... left overs caused by my making a large batch of soup or stew, even though its just the two of us. I put a couple of quarts in the fridge, then can the rest. Usually, by the time I had finished cleaning up the kitchen, the cannervwws ready to turn off and cool overnight.
The "quick meals" cupboards filled up quickly.
Totally off topic, but man do I miss my root cellar and basement! I had 15 feet of full kitchen cabinets, upper and lower, to store my home canned jars, plus various store bought cans and bottles. Then I had an additional 30 feet of open shelving, which I used mostly for stacked canned goods. Plus the shelves I designed and hubby helped me build that held 8 cases of quarts or 11 cases of pints in each "tower" unit. I had 11 of them full at one point in mid fall a few years ago!
We've got to get things set up better around here!

I remember 30+ years ago an entire length of a grocery shelf used to be nothing but Campbell Soups. Not anymore. I have begun to make my own split pea soup. So much better tasting.First, I’ll move this to the shortages thread in a day or so. But I’ve been looking for a certain soup: Campbell’s condensed split pea. No one locally carries it. Oh, the various stores have it in the computer for you to order, but if you try, it’s unavailable. And that’s not the only one. What happened to Campbell’s cream of shrimp? Or about a half dozen others that aren’t coming to mind right now? There used to be over 30 different soups available on store shelves. Now there are only about a dozen (on a good day.) I just thought I’d put that out there. I used to have about 8 different varieties on my food shelves. Now I have three: chicken noodle, cream of chicken, and creme of celery. Go, and vegetable beef, with whatever fake “beef things” they add to it.
Anyone else noticing your favorite is no longer available? I had to get it from Amazon by the flat.
It’s their condensed one, not their chunky one. The chunky split pea isn’t that great. Too thin. I only add about 2/3 can of water, because I like it thick.

Just saw an Australian food haul which included Campbell's Cream of Asparagus.........it's unobtanium here, but apparantly if you shopping oversea there's quite a variety of C soups we never see............alas......Amerika's on the bottom and sinking each day.................these omissions are deliberate IMO.........
I thought Spam had one flavor, salt.
If your state fair has deep-fried bacon-wrapped Spam-on-a-stick, I'm in.Nope it comes in different flavors, and there's a thread about spam here somewhere, maybe even two different threads.

The “Chunky” soups you don’t add water to. The “condensed” soups you do.we're supposed to add water? I never add water to their soups.
Even the little grocery here had Bean-Bacon when I looked for it today ... brought home a can to try out.
If you need a five-minute dinner, the bean-bacon with one-two hot dogs cut up and added to it is pretty tasty. I make this at the end of a long day where my planning has fallen apart and there's nothing else to reheat. It's also good during a power outage (cooks quickly on the camp stove).
I'll add a tablespoon or two of white vinegar to the pot.
Good for almost any soup or stew ... I use ACV.
