As a poor family growing up in the 80s we couldn't even afford canned food. An old next door lady one day brought us like a dozen Campbell canned soups and it was the best thing we ever tasted. I never forgot that feeling of that first canned soup or the nice jester from the lady. Every few months especially during the cold holidays I would just have a warm bowl of canned soup even though I could make fresh soup. The best Campbells soups that I love are the chicken noodle and the Clam Chowder.
I remember they had a low sodium version of the tomato soup that cost more, but if you checked the nutritional facts, it had the same amount of sodium as their regular version of the soup which was cheaper. The low sodium version was low compared to OTHER soups.
Stay away from Campbell's or any company with bioengineered food in it it's in alot of companies causes cancer and other bad health problems!!!! Fda needs to shut them down already!!

@@nova3752You’re in every comment section with low spirited, snarky remarks trying to bring people down. Tell me, how did Campbell’s Tomato Soup hurt you?
Campbells Tomato soup is the absolute BEST! I’m 50 and grew up eating this soup and dunking grilled cheese sandwiches in it. My mother always used milk instead of water and that’s still the way I make it. I miss you Mom! 😔
@@itzamia Yes I do! Slowly incorporate the can of milk to eliminate clumps. Once it’s finished and right before serving I also add a little slice of butter😋
I love this channel and stumbled upon it by accident. I always like to look at the latest stories and the history behind well-known brands and products, well researched and presented in an entertaining way. Keep it up ! With best regards from Austria.
My grandparents both retired from Campbell's in Portage La prairie, Manitoba. It paid well at the time. My mother and her siblings worked in the summer peeling and cutting veggies, too. Tomatoe, mushroom are still staples. My dad used the vegetable soup to make poor man's straws as a kid.
I live in Japan. A couple years back, when I found that they have Campbell's Minestrone Soup, I was ecstatic! Two cans of soup, some meat (hamburger, beef chunks, or pastrami), a large amount of steamed veggies (thinly sliced), a small amount of extra noodles to fill it out, and some additional herbs and spices. Love it! And it feeds a family of 4 for dinner for about two days.
It is impressive how timeless Campbells Tomato Soup is. Add some milk, fresh basil, pepper and burn me up a grilled cheese, PERFECT. The chicken soup is still my go to when I get the flu and a can of cream of mushroom is great for all sorts of dishes.
I'm too hoity-toity for just plain tomato soup. 😎I always go for the tomato bisque. I polished off a can only last night with a grilled cheese. Mmm mmm good!
I haven't been eating many veggies lately. You've inspired me to make a batch of green bean casserole! Of course I have all the ingredients on hand. MMM MMM GOOD! 😋👌😊😁
I get a few C brand condensed soups 🥣 . Mainly: celery, asparagus, tomato/tomato bisque, mushroom. Campbell's had Oyster 🦪 Stew but it seems hard to find in markets.
when its cold and cruddy out in the dead of winter nothing beats a cup/bowl of Campbell's Tomato soup and and a grilled cheese sandwich other than maybe left over meatloaf
You mention 'aluminium' cans in the 1890s. I think if you check, the first aluminium can was introduced in 1957. In the 1890s they were using tin & steel.
Spaghettios are a staple for me... Very recently though, I was disappointed to learn they discontinued the ones with franks (hot dogs) and have replaced it with Frank's Red Hot sauce! I love Frank's Red Hot but very sad they felt the need to get rid of the mini franks just for shelf space presumably... Now I'm hooked on the meatball Spaghettios instead. 🙂🙂🙂

I grew up on Cream of Mushroom. Restaurants used to basically serve that stuff, maybe with some additions. Nowadays restaurants actually serve a proper kitchen made mushroom soup absolutely packed with mushroom and bits, but part of me will always miss and crave that old canned soup.
I always loved having Campbell's tomato soup with my grilled cheese "soldiers" as a kid and in my high-school days during the winter terms. Thanks for uploading and my thanks to lovers of Mr Warhol's painting of the soup can!
I make most of my soup from scratch. Even the cream soup for hotdish, so many store bought soups contain msg and so much salt. The one I still enjoy from Campbell's is the tomato soup. Perfect with grilled cheese or garlic bread.
Try Ina Garten's Cream of Tomato soup and you'll never go back to the can. It's healthier, more flavorful and freezes well. I make a double batch in the fall and freeze it in single servings to pop out and into a pot on a cold night when I don't want to cook or I'm sick. Paired with a grilled cheese of course ;)
My mom made oxtail/vegetable soup. Just a different kind of soup bone, same cut as osso bucco. She grew up in the depression of course. It can be wonderful!
I grew up eating oxtail soup as well. I remember the butcher's giving them away to anyone who wanted them because nobody wanted to buy them. Now they are a "delicacy" and cost a crazy amount.
One classic thing from campbells is their commercials. I think it varies to decade, but the snowman melting commercial and those kids one's with the cgi animated noodles having a party or something- you wont forget
As a kid I never knew what people saw in Tomato soup. I used to eat my grilled cheese with chicken noodle soup. One day I saw someone eating a grilled cheese with tomato soup, dipping it, and I figured I'd give it a try. I was couldn't believe how good the two went together. Then I started adding bacon and fresh basil to it, and either chicken noodle or tomato soup to go with it.
I never cared for tomato soup myself, but that's because as a kid I had it literally shoved down my throat, so my reaction to it is a bit visceral. I still prefer to eat grilled cheese sandwiches with chicken noodle soup.
If ya' mix cream of chicken/cream of mushroom together and mix it into cubed cooked chicken, red/green pepper, chopped yellow onion, and a little splash of worcestershire sauce... You end up with a great topping for rice or pasta. If you put it all in a casserole dish, top it with bread crumbs and cheese and bake in the oven for a bit...oh lordy its so gooooood. My grammie used to cook it.
There are always cans of Campbell’s-brand soups (chicken noodle and cream of tomato) in my pantry at all times. The only two occasions when they are consumed: 1. when I have a bad cold and want something familiar and utterly devoid of strong flavor; 2. an apocalypse and flesh-eating zombies prevent going out for something much, much better.
I'm smiling to hear someone else naming Campbell's Tomato Soup for the grilled-cheese tomato dip it really is. @0:15 Weird History Food knows my heart as well as my stomach. It's like family, but not racist and more fun at mealtimes.
I think it would be interesting if you haven't already make a video of like the first 5 or 10 American companies that have been in business the longest. I think you have already. Just is pretty cool how a company started out in almost the mid 1800s and is still operational today. Im surprised though that no one from the Campbell family has any ownership, really nothing to show for anything, but the name😢
ALL MY LIFE WE HAVE EATEN CAMPBELL SOUPS AND ALL OTHER OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND LOVE THEM. LATELY, I HAVE HEARD OF THIS GREAT COMPANY GOING UNDER WHICH SEEMS RIDICULOUS TO ME FOR OTHER THAN CHANGING THAT CAN, NOTHING HAS CHANGED!!!
Who doesn't love a cozy bowl of soup? Campbell's will always have a little place in my heart, my grandfather worked at the Camden factory back in the day 🥣😊
Growing up I had several favorites Chicken and Rice, vegetable soup aka alphabet soup, tomato soup and split pea with ham. Chunky soup I have four go to soups New England Clam Chowder, Manhattan Clam Chowder, Corn Chowder and Chicken and Dumplings.
Campbell's Soup is just plain good. The labelled ingredients are pretty wholesome overall & don't seem to be loaded down w/ modifiers or preservatives.
@@memesbyme710 I would have bet that someone would bring that up. I believe there's a Campbell's product line marked as "Non GMO" called "Well Yes", Plant Powered Soup. I read the label on a standard Red&White labeled can of Campbell's Vegetable Beef and it states; "The ingredients from corn and soy in this product come from genetically modified crops". So I'm guessing the USDA requires that products containing GMO's must state that on the label. At least there is the option for either. I've never gone down the "GMO" rabbit hole on the web, but I suspect the info on this subject varies Wildly.
Not really fair to call out this one brand for it, when virtually every single thing we eat today involves some type of GMO. Our food supply has way bigger concerns than that. Cancerous pesticides. Animals that don't eat their natural diet and suffer their whole lives. Obscene amounts of sugar and plant oils. Weird chemicals that make bad tasting things addictive. Weird colors that wreak havoc on the immune system. Campbells soups are way above average in most of these categories.
Unrelated to this video, but could you do a video on the history of marshmallows and fluff (the New England food)? Love Weird History and Weird History food! ❤
Hi Weird History! I LOVE Campbell's Soup, especially their chicken noodle, tomato, and cream of mushroom soups! My favorite Campbell's recipe is fried cauliflower that uses the cream of mushroom soup, and it is delicious! I hope one day you'll do a video on mascots voiced by famous actors/voice actors, as there's a lot of different mascots with famous voices. For example the 70s animated version of Jack from Jack In The Box [sadly only three ads and three comics with him are on RUclips, but I'm thankful we even have them], as well as his friends the Jack In The Box Bunch were voiced by none other then Tigger himself: Paul Winchell, who also invented the artificial heart. Frito Kid was voiced by Richard Beals who also did Speedy Alka-Seltzer and various other cartoon voices. Twinkie the Kid and the other Hostess Snack Cake characters were voiced by Allen Swift, who first started on the Howdy Doody Show, but ended up doing a huge amount of voice work for cartoons, notably Underdog, Popeye and Sesame Street sketches. I've always been interested in learning about mascots, especially if they have a famous voice actor.
"My favorite Campbell's recipe is fried cauliflower that uses the cream of mushroom soup, and it is delicious!" You wouldn't happen to have a link to that recipe, would you? Sounds interesting.
@@melasnexperience Unfortunately, you can't really send links on RUclips, but I did find the fried cauliflower recipe on the official Campbell's website!
Camden NJ is hardly what I'd think would be a ideal 🏭. I'm 52 & remember how cans of tomato, chicken soup, mushroom ran: 45 cents 55 cents 75 cents. Now, 2023 it's $1.50-2.00! 📈

1:00 In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin orders one of those types of beanies and fantasizes about flying to all types of places using it (like a helicopter).
There's a reason why I use canned soup to treat my POTS condition, I need 10g of sodium per day and two cans of Campbell's would immediately stop my symptoms thanks to having over 5g of sodium in total. It's a super food to me, but super bad to others.
I broke a tooth once, and had to have it removed. Campbell's tomato soup with some mashed potato flakes fed me for the first day! I still use things like a can of Chicken Noodle Soup when I need to braise a piece of meat (like a chuck roast), but have no other flavorful liquids. Eggs poached in Cream of Mushroom on a cold day is still a staple, lol....
im pretty simple, cream of tomato and chicken noodle. i do remember when i was younger cream of mushroom was a healthy staple, later on i cooked with cream of celery in a few recipes. i would take a can of chunky, add a few more things to it and that was lunch at work the next day. the only downside was my sodium intake, it was high but the flavor made it worthwhile. ive tried the low sodium versions - no thanks. i cook alot and use their soups as additional flavor. my #1 soup has to be tomato, my daughter loves it and a night with a big bowl and a couple grilled cheese sandwiches with her in front of the tv keep me hoping they never stop making it.
Many times, when companies take away something, they have increase something else sooo... You will never hear low-calorie and low-fat etc, uttered in the same breathe.
Anyone else remember when you would open the can of tomato soup and it would come out in one whole can-shaped blob? That used to crack me up as a child.
That's exactly how I want condensed soup to come out of the can. Saves me from holding the can upside down for five minutes trying to scrape it all out.
The shelf space for Campbell's soup keeps shrinking at my store. It's sad. It was always good to have a few cans on the shelf until I became sensitive to basic allergens. Now I have to make soup on my own which is good and bad.
As a poor family growing up in the 80s we couldn't even afford canned food. An old next door lady one day brought us like a dozen Campbell canned soups and it was the best thing we ever tasted. I never forgot that feeling of that first canned soup or the nice jester from the lady.

Had a truck driver I’ve hauled and eaten plenty of campbell soup. I really like the mushroom soup
good video
1:00 In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin orders one of those types of beanies and fantasizes about flying to all types of places using it (like a helicopter).
There's a reason why I use canned soup to treat my POTS condition, I need 10g of sodium per day and two cans of Campbell's would immediately stop my symptoms thanks to having over 5g of sodium in total. It's a super food to me, but super bad to others.
Being from Portugal, never had one....got to try it (when I find it for sale..)
Love tomato but the others I mostly use for cooking!
I don't eat soup much but when i do i go for the chunky soup.
All of this talk about beef steak makes me think of the Cat Stevens song! Haha!
I broke a tooth once, and had to have it removed. Campbell's tomato soup with some mashed potato flakes fed me for the first day!
I still use things like a can of Chicken Noodle Soup when I need to braise a piece of meat (like a chuck roast), but have no other flavorful liquids.
Eggs poached in Cream of Mushroom on a cold day is still a staple, lol....
That sounds delicious! I've never thought of it. Thank you! I'm definitely going to have to try this!!! 🍄🍳
You guys should do a video on the history of American school lunches, or one on the history of college lunches
im pretty simple, cream of tomato and chicken noodle. i do remember when i was younger cream of mushroom was a healthy staple, later on i cooked with cream of celery in a few recipes. i would take a can of chunky, add a few more things to it and that was lunch at work the next day. the only downside was my sodium intake, it was high but the flavor made it worthwhile. ive tried the low sodium versions - no thanks. i cook alot and use their soups as additional flavor. my #1 soup has to be tomato, my daughter loves it and a night with a big bowl and a couple grilled cheese sandwiches with her in front of the tv keep me hoping they never stop making it.
I was kinda hoping you'd mention something about Heartwood College, which a while back was bought by the heir of Campbell's
I see Orson Welles' ad for rosebud frozen peas made its mark
As a senior that lives only with a cat, Campbell's is a quick easy fix for dinner. I also like the variety of choices. I can't really pick a favorite.
Many times, when companies take away something, they have increase something else sooo... You will never hear low-calorie and low-fat etc, uttered in the same breathe.
You have a great narrator voice. ✌️
I've always wondered: Have you done episode on Jell-O, Pop-Tarts, or gummi bears/worms? I think any of them would be interesting to learn about.
5:50 the game featured UPenn and Cornell not PENN STATE and Cornell
Anyone else remember when you would open the can of tomato soup and it would come out in one whole can-shaped blob? That used to crack me up as a child.
That's exactly how I want condensed soup to come out of the can. Saves me from holding the can upside down for five minutes trying to scrape it all out.
It also was much better then. Now it's red corn syrup.
@@danielsee1 it contains no corn syrup. It contains tomato puree, wheat flour, sugar, less than 2% salt, natural flavoring, citric acid, asorbic acid, mopotassium phosphate, celery extract, garlic oil. *contains wheat*
One can Campbell's Tomato Soup. 1/2 can water. One glorious Grilled Cheese Sandwich. LUNCH!!
I just bought a daze cans of Campbell condensed soups earlier today including tomato and chicken noodle.
My favorite soup was Scotch Broth, the only commercial soup I can remember containing Lamb.
Fun fact my grandma is actually related to the campbells family
Thank you
My favorite will always be Cream of Mushroom. Mmmm-Mmmm good!
The orange Bean with Bacon is the best!
Does anyone know the name of this program's narrator?
The shelf space for Campbell's soup keeps shrinking at my store. It's sad. It was always good to have a few cans on the shelf until I became sensitive to basic allergens. Now I have to make soup on my own which is good and bad.
I clean myself in the shower with soup and water.
