One full-page ad for Campbell's. And a 1/2 page ad for Progresso.
I like soup. Always have. By far it's my favorite liquid food. But it is a cheap meal, a meal that does well during depressions and recessions.
What's next, bean recipes?
I make a mean gnocchi. My secret? Potatoes and tomatoes. Food from the "great" war.
