Two years later, the company developed a process for condensing soups, and the familiar soup can was born. But it would be nearly a hundred years, in 1990, before Campbell’s introduced cream of broccoli soup. First, it was sold to restaurants in large cans that made up to a gallon, then came the frozen, microwaveable Souper-Combo that paired the frigid soup with a sandwich, and, later that year, the regular-sized can with which we’re all familiar made it to home kitchens.You’ll find plenty of Campbell’s soup varieties at Food Depot, 5723 Rockbridge Road, Stone Mountain, 770-413-8580. The store has loads of Campbell’s Cream of Broccoli condensed soup in stock. The 10.5-ounce cans sell for $1.58 each.
