Day by day
Sorry, that's a lunch for us. We have a big breakfast (homegrown eggs, potatoes, and DH has bacon). From the can of soup, I usually just take some of the carrots and a good amount of the broth, to which I add half an avocado and a cracker or two. DH takes the bulk of the chicken, pasta, and vegetables.That may be for you, but it's not for me.
In splitting a can, you're each getting an average of maybe 80 calories from those different light soups. The calories per dollar comes at an astronomical price. For preppers, one would need an enormous amount of space to house enough calories, protein, etc...for say several months or more.
On the plus side, Progresso is more palatable than Campbell's, but still well short of homemade.
Agree, there's nothing better than homemade, but when we're under the weather or need a quick lunch in winter this works well for us.
Totally understand this wouldn't work for a lot of people. We're both pretty light eaters now that we're in our upper 60s.
