Campbell soup is AWFUL now. They have reduced the sodium and it tastes like they substituted the fake salt. Their cream of tomato soup (made with milk) was soooo good with grilled cheese but it is completely disgusting now. Any suggestions?
I am now looking for a good substitute.

I so agree. But it is not just Campbell’s soup. They are screwing with everything that comes in a can. I don’t want low sodium, low fat or low anything. I ate Campbell’s Tomato and Chicken Noodle when I was a kid 60 years ago and my mom put Cream of Mushroom of anything that didn’t move and it was great. I just quit buying canned anything and have gone back to making it from scratch.
Many years ago I worked for a large corporation. Campbell’s owed us a chunk of money. The dork in charge of collections wrote them a blistering letter and then added as a P.S. “In spite of the fact that you owe my employer a lot of money, I personally think Campbell’s Soup is really mmmmmm good.” He was fired when his boss saw the letter after it had gone out, but I still remember it and think it’s funny.
i think they reduced sugar too- i know they used to add a bit (tomatoes are sweet for 15 minutes after you cook them- add a small spoon of suger to mimic that)
makes a big improvement
Progresso's tomato soups are quite good -- try thhe Tomato Basil or the Hearty Tomato.
Try the grilled cheese using a slice of cheddar and a slice of provolone.
Homemade tomato soup! Get some ripe tomatoes, chop some onions, saute in butter, add tomatoes and seasoning, cook well, put through a strainer, add (whole) milk and heat gently. Mmmm mmmm good.
Add a grilled cheese sandwich (made with BUTTERED Wonder Bread and Velveeta cheese slices) and you've got a meal!
