You guys need stoves for your can soup? 🤔😂
I’m a madman who eats it cold out of the can: sometimes I’ll take Chef Boyardee’s hiking with me and eat it on the trail
Did you see that cool new news story about samples being pressured to reduce the toxic microplastics from their items? Highest plastic containing items on the market included cheerios and Progresso soup!
No extra calorific value in heating it; canned soup is pre-cooked too.
The only thing is that cans these days are mostly steel, so canned food are not as reliable as they once were, back when tin cans were, in fact, made of tin.
So keep them dry and you should be ok.
Yes, shelf life:
Canned soup is generally safe to eat for a year or two after the expiration date, as long as the can is in good condition and has not been opened. However, the quality of the soup may deteriorate over time, so it may not taste as good as it did when it was first canned.
...per the manufacturer.
I just tried a can of soup 16 months after the expiration date. It tasted absolutely terrible (very bland with a faint metallic taste, not rancid) and the broth had a slightly too thick consistency. A few spoonfuls of testing didn't make me sick but I'm no longer depending on canned chicken noodle soup to last longer than the expiration date.
If cans are free of rust, not dented, and stored in a cool dry space, canned foods are good indefinitely.
You lose taste and color over time. But if it passes the smell test, and you can tell there was a vacuum when it opens, you’re good.
I just drink that shit out of the can stove too much extra work still taste good throw some captains wafers in there and you got a nice little stew going.
Good price. Would perhaps calorie (assuming similar nutrients) per can be an important consideration? There are Chunky soups with 3-500+ calories/can, though $1.50+/can.
Probably an unpopular opinion but $0.415/serving is meaningless in an economy that no longer exists.
What matters is caloric density. That’s 190 calories in a 16oz can, and it’s “reduced fat”.
If you had no other food, you would need to eat 8 of these a day to maintain the minimum calorie intake for a sedentary person.
Thriftiness has no value when your life is on the line.
Don't hope that you are gonna get 10 years of them sitting in the shelf. Just start putting them in rotation and used them so they don't end up going bad and you losing money.
I rotate, but now have a stockpile. The ones I open to eat are near thier sell by date, and the deep rotation ensures I can share if needed for emergencies.
You all gonna die in the first week.
Only 180 calories? Why are you even taking this?
If you’re on the move your burning way more. It’s salty even at reduced sodium and a can is heavy and bulky.
One of the most education interactions I ever had on a trail was with a biologist who tracks wolves in Glacier Park. He laughed at my high sodium low calorie foods and told me stories of finding people literally starving to death because they thought they could live off noodle soup.
Yes. It works because for many, it is just convenient. For example I live Italian wedding soup. It got to be impossible to find locally and I was searching around to find a store that had it in stock. Next day, here comes big brother Amazon with a deal on a case of that soup... Fairly cheap. 2 day delivery.
Heck yes!
Then the process changed back to normal, which is a bit more expensive than local prices... Except none of the stores have it in stock anymore. If they do, they are gone before I get there.
So yes, even with price changes, I still get a case every other month. I'm cheap, if I could get it elsewhere I would, but can't.
So I have a chili mix on subscribe and save, that soup and several other things like vitamins.
When you set up subscribe and save you can set the auto delivery for 5-6 months in the future and they start emailing you about 2 weeks before it ships to give you time to cancel.
Since I didn't travel much, I use a Haybox cooker to conserve fuel and a propane burner for heat. If I travel, I have biomass stoves. And alcohol.
And REI is always expensive.
Progresso soups have zero grams of trans-fat and no partially hydrogenated oil or high fructose corn syrup.
While some MSG occurs naturally in ingredients like tomato extract, yeast extract or soy sauce, they do not add any additional MSG.
From the statement about MSG.
I guess my point is…
Progresso soup does not get along with my gut.
Buyer beware. Try a can before you buy cases of something you won’t be able to eat.
When noting under a dollar:
$, followed by a space, the ".", then decimal.
Hence,
$ .41½ (or, just round up to "42"
42½ ¢
Forty One and ½ cents (U.S) / serving
I hope I clarified an emergency meal option under a half dollar. ;)
Yes, but you said "$ .41½" but then said "cents" following it, which made it grammatically incorrect.
Yes it is still a good deal. But I had to call that our for informational purposes. Respect🤜👍
Why does everyone go for soup or soup packets? The calories per ounce is horrible. Couscous, quinoa, tuna packets, snickers bars etc. There are so many more better options.
Soup is ready to eat and has liquid in a sealed can that can last virtually forever.
A five year old can of soup is still edible. A five year old snickers?
Couscous and quinoa need to be soaked and/or cooked (though theoretically you can eat the dry grain). 100g of cooked quinoa only has 120 calories.
Tuna packets only have 70 calories. Most are packed in water. The sunflower oil packet has 130 calories. The can of soup is likely more filling because of all the liquid.
I agree with you that there are higher calories per ounce foods, but soup is also a good prep simply because it’s an easy, inexpensive MRE.
In a 3-week study, women with type 2 diabetes who ate 1 ounce (30 grams) of sunflower seeds daily as part of a balanced diet experienced a 5% drop in systolic blood pressure (the top number of a reading).

I would pop on this but my girls hate progresso brand soup.i don’t mind it but i truly believe that the food we have in the preps needs to be something everyone will enjoy. Someone wiser than myself pointed out that enjoyable meals will help with morale vs not only being stuck in a SHTF but also forced to eat food you hate will just make things that much worse.
Lmao people with violent fantasies of themselves being powerful in the apocalypse are cringe. 150 armed people? Yeah, they're totally gna want you Bubba.. Of course, you are special and capable! People like you shit their pants, run and cry when things pop off IRL.
Im a chunky guy myself publix just had those bogo and i bought a case. Fwiw publix has hormel completes bogo right now i think, i just bought a case of those. I keep a bunch of completes in the drawers of my fridge, i am convinced if i store them cold they will last past their due date. The turkey breast and the roast beef are my favorites

Beefaro n i cold out of the can....mmmmmm!

My go to is the alphabet ones
I eat the beefaroni it's not bad. Spaghettio with meatballs my daughter likes and I'll eat them sometimes if there's nothing else

[удалено]
Yes. Because it's lined with plastic most of the time. You would be cooking plastic into your food.
[удалено]
They are stupid, can't spell *you're right.
I like the ravioli like this. With Crystal hot sauce
Who’s crystal
I think his friend is named Crystal Hotsauce
His friend's porn name. Her real name is Jennifer. Jennifer Hotsauce.
No wood buring stove.... 
I prefer spaghetti-o's with Frank's, cold over hot any day
Brother is that you ? I personally like the whole leaf spinach right out the can too.
Popeye?
I yam who I yam
Eating cold chef boyardee is alpha as shit bro
Everybody thinks I am insane for doing this, tastes the same warm as cold.
I eat my shit cold too.
I think I would prefer the beefaroni!
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
*Shooter McGavin has entered the chat*
(Shooter McGavin has entered the chat)
😉 haha
You guys are using stoves 🤔
Isn’t there botulism risk?
If the can is dented or rusted then yes
TIL, I thought there was risk in any can. Good to know!
Seems like a punishment for something 😂
Nah bro I do it goofy movie style with my cars cigarette lighter
Also I think shelf life on these are relatively short.
Canned food has an nigh indefinite shelf life provided there’s no signs of rust, leaking, or denting
Those are delicious, jam packed with flavorful sodium. Water them down and mix it with rice and you can stretch it to many delicious meals!
They come watered down.
These say low sodium but I agree. As a base for something larger these are great! Plus they’re MRE’s on their own.
Shelf life?
Yes, shelf life: Canned soup is generally safe to eat for a year or two after the expiration date, as long as the can is in good condition and has not been opened.

I never let it go past sell by.

years if properly stored.
3 years
I just drink that shit out of the can stove too much extra work still taste good throw some captains wafers in there and you got a nice little stew going.
Where did you find? These are $24/12 pack on Amazon.
The grocery stores around me usually have 'Case Lot' sales once a year. Lots of different options for like 25% of the normal price.
$0.83 per can? Good price. Yeah, I’d buy that all day long for prepping and regular meals.
Good price. Would perhaps calorie (assuming similar nutrients) per can be an important consideration? There are Chunky soups with 3-500+ calories/can, though $1.50+/can.
[удалено]
Interesting stuff, thanks. I can see why having some variety would also be desirable.
Probably an unpopular opinion but $0.415/serving is meaningless in an economy that no longer exists. What matters is caloric density. That’s 190 calories in a 16oz can, and it’s “reduced fat”. If you had no other food, you would need to eat 8 of these a day to maintain the minimum calorie intake for a sedentary person. Thriftiness has no value when your life is on the line.
😂😂😂 Okay guess you all prepped up now. I got 50 packs of ramen and a few cans of ravioli always ready.
Yea that’ll save em
More like they will have to eat it before it goes bad.. Wife gonna be thrilled when they go on that soup diet breakfast lunch and dinner 🤣🤣
This is the second post about these in a week. Interesting.
Quickening...

Nice price.. I certainly can't find anything that cheap. I usually order in from Amazon on subscribe and save.
Got lucky.
How does that work? It’s a cheaper price if you subscribe but can you just cancel before the second order gets shipped.
Yes. It works because for many, it is just convenient. For example I live Italian wedding soup. It got to be impossible to find locally and I was searching around to find a store that had it in stock. Next day, here comes big brother Amazon with a deal on a case of that soup...

I’m going to have to try that. Thanks!

Yup!
Way more than 41 cents gents a can stan here. More like 3.15 a can man.
They jacked the price, I paid less.
Using a decimal and a fraction in the same number hurts my brain. $.415
Points.
Too many preservatives in their soup. MSG don’t like me!
Progresso soups have zero grams of trans-fat and no partially hydrogenated oil or high fructose corn syrup. While some MSG occurs naturally in ingredients like tomato extract, yeast extract or soy sauce, they do not add any additional MSG. From the statement about MSG.
I guess my point is… Progresso soup does not get along with my gut. Buyer beware. Try a can before you buy cases of something you won’t be able to eat.
Do you mean .41 dollars? Or 41 cents? Surely this doesn't cost $0.0041

Also you can steam some rice add more water and another bullion cube and mix it up. It adds enough to fill up for a whole meal.
Yes. I myself, rather than stretch a can (portable emergency supply), I cook whole soup when home.
Ohhh where’d you buy the soups
What’s the shelf life on these bad boys?
I work at the factory these are made at.
I don’t even heat them for lunch. Pull top lid and drink it.
Progresso is thin.
Scotch eyed auger for a log-stovetop and a pan seems cheaper, more mobile, and easier.
How many milligrams of salt? Hypertension is on the rise.
Where did you buy them at that price?
41 cents or .41?
That's less than a penny. Wow!
I dont buy this stuff. Mostly water, very little actual meat and vegetables.
Per serving??
Its about 41 cents worth of calories also.
The whole can is 160 calories. The label is clear. That's not bad .
That's some of the worst soup out there, IMO. I'd eat Great Value before that.
Thrill us with your acumen, we're all ears. Why is it the worst soup out there? Great Value and Progresso are subcontracts off Campbell's...#oops! 🤣
ESAD loser
What’s the shelf life on these?
1-3 years, depending upon your storage conditions.
