It's salty as HELL. Unless you want high blood pressure or a stroke, don't bother stocking this stuff. Check the label for the sodium content.

I was thinking the same thing, wow look nice price on chicken soup. Then tried a can or two, and wow, I could feel my eyeballs get turgid.

Might want to look around for a smallish discount store called Aldi's. They are Germn-owned and have decent quality food - see the thread "Aldi's food reviews" http://goldismoney.info/forums/showthread.php?t=354707

At Eurofresh this week they have Country Delight (basically generic) brand of Chicken Noodle, Tomato, and Vegetable condensed soups for 29 cents a can. Time to buy some cases, lol.

I worry less about the salt than I do about the MSG.

I will add NOTHING to my stash that contains MSG.

I always add 1 can of water to the sondensed soup. It helps dilute the salt.

Thanks for the heads up. If you wait long enough Campbells usually goes on sale, though usually the same old 4 varieties (ch/noodle, c/o/mushroom, vegetable, & tomato).

When I see something other than the same 4 go on sale I back the cart up.

Last sale in my area was 46 cents/can or cases for $5.00 (CDN) fwiw.

I dont understand peoples problem with MSG. MSG is the global warming of the Culinary World, its a victim of bad press, lies and misrepresentation. There has never been a single scientific experiment that has shown a correlation between MSG and any of the supposed health issues.

Quote:
MSG as a food ingredient has been the subject of scientifically unsubstantiated health concerns. A report from the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) compiled in 1995 on behalf of the FDA concluded that MSG was safe for most people when "eaten at customary levels." However, it also said that, based on anecdotal reports, some people may have an MSG intolerance which causes "MSG symptom complex"�commonly referred to as Chinese restaurant syndrome�and/or a worsening of asthmatic symptoms. Subsequent research found that while large doses of MSG given without food may elicit more symptoms than a placebo in individuals who believe that they react adversely to MSG, the frequency of the responses was low and the responses reported were inconsistent, not reproducible, and were not observed when MSG was given with food. While many people believe that monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the cause of these symptoms, a statistical association has never been demonstrated under controlled conditions, even in studies with people who were convinced that they were sensitive to the compound. Adequately controlling for experimental bias includes a placebo-controlled double-blinded experimental design and the application in capsules because of the strong and unique after-taste of glutamates.

OK, lots of salt, and I'll look at the MSG(it's in frickin everything though)

Would they be OK as mixers. I've been looking for cheap ways to add something to rice and make it tasty. I have recipes where you can take a can of "Chicken and Rice" add two cups of rice to it, some veggies if you have them and now you have a tasty, cheap meal for about 4 people, or more in a survival scenario.

Rice always needs extra salt so it might work out


Thoughts?????

Any recipes?????

PS What are MSG's bad sides

My personal experience with MSG is that it leaves me ravenously hungry for a day or so. For me personally, it's bad news.

There are more scientific reports but chemicals affect different people differently.

I find I get strong food cravings after eating mountain house.

On the other hand I never notice any effects from foods high in free glutamate like soy sauce or tomatoes. It seems like there is a difference between naturally occuring glutamate and the man made kind. Maybe it gets buffered by other ingredients.

Of course they're ok as mixers. Whatever sodium is in a can of ckickie rice/noodle soup gets diluted with a can of water--actually a lot more than that if you're going to add two cups of rice. I don't have recipes, but consider the possibilities.

Spanish rice: condensed tomato soup with rice, chili powder, perhaps ground cumin, and dehydrated onions, maybe some chopped fresh parsley or cilantro (I have both dried and vacuum sealed in the pantry.)

Pasta with spinach and chick peas: Garbanzo beans(dried, of course, and then soaked and cooked), garlic, diced carrot, chopped parsley, a little condensed tomato soup :15_1_70v:, chopped spinach, seasoned with red pepper flakes, ground pepper, grated parmesan. Maybe toss in some diced bacon (Yoders canned bacon, naturally.)

And, yes I've done even the chickie noodle soup with rice. Noodles and rice together aren't all that strange. It would probably be good with additional noodles, for that matter, and any reconstituted veggies you have on hand.

Making meals out of stored foods can be challenging; but the best ingredient is, I think, imagination.

What does Mountain House charge for a can of that? Sounds Italian.

Every canned soup I know of is garbage. Jarring homemade chicken broth is pretty easy.
