Where can I find it?
Q: Has Campbell’s stopped making Cream of Broccoli soup? I’ve tried several Kroger and Publix grocery stores with no success. Thank you. — Vern Piper, email
A: Vern, no, Campbell’s has not stopped making creamy broccoli soup. In 1895, Campbell’s turned out its first jar of ready to heat and eat soup — Beefsteak Tomato. 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.
