We've been creating premium soups for more than 100 years & always use quality ingredients for tasteful flavor. View all of our canned soup ranges here!
I'm a Progresso Soup lover turned onto it by my Wife. There are *Way* more than 3 worth stockpiling but my favorites are Spicy New England Clam Chowder (a new one!), Rich and Hearty Lasagna style with Italian Sausage, and Traditional Split Pea with Ham.
The only ones they have I'm not crazy about are the "Light" versions and "Low Sodium" versions. We have a shitload of these in rotation in the basement pantry/storage. A 12 pack is like $26 with free shipping from Amazon Prime and we have ten cases....so 120 cans. we usually eat 4 cans a week so we turn it over in 30 weeks or so.

I'm not screwing around with the soup, I'm going straight for the pudding.
What is this shelf life bullshit?
If it’s in a can, it’s good forever. Everybody knows that. Give it the smell test if you’re nervous. If it fails, cook the crap out of it and eat it anyway.
And Campbells chunky vs Progresso select reserve or whatever In a post apocalyptic scenario?
The fuck is going on here? What kind of silver spoon, white bread shit is this? I’m eating those little little chihuahuas, bijon frisbees and toy poodles the elites carry around in their pocket books. Add a little hot sauce and salt and I’m good to go.

Maybe that's China's plan. Get us to become plump and slow, then descend upon us by the millions with their chopsticks clicking...

The lasagna soup is awesome. Kroger had it on sale for $1.29 a can and I bought 2 flats of it. Add a little bit of hot sauce and some real parmesan cheese.View All Progresso Soup Ranges | Progresso

My MIL decided to go live in an assisted living facillity...she's 90ish and finally slowing down, Se we helped her liquidate all her stuff to get the house sold and we divided up the canned beef, green beans (with bacon!) and tomatoes. Been stored in a cool dry basement. Just finished another round of chili made with canned beef and tomatoes from 2008. 14 year old home canned chow from the Farm and it's better than anything I can buy at the store today.
Canning was the staple way of keeping food on the Farm. Wish my FIL had canned some of his home made beef and noodles....that shit was the bomb.

You amateurs peanut butter sandwich renders you immune to atomic blasts
I don't have much protein, but I stocked up on Tabasco and assorted hot sauces to make future anything taste better.
Green Tabasco is the cats meow
Why has no one mentioned stocking up on ramen noodles? Never will expire, and I can attest theres plenty of calories "vitamins" and minerals to live off of for a very long time

Well I went to Aldi to stock up on more nutritious and delicious survival foods for the pantry.
I noticed one thing:
All the shoppers had the same grim expression.
It's as if everyone senses the time is drawing nigh...

Waaay more than 18mo out of a can of soup so long as the can isn't compromised.
Few years in a cool and dry area.
I guess no one else has opened a can of tuna to find it has outlived everyone's timeline expectations.
You do not want to smell tuna that has rotted in that sealed can.
Nope, wouldn't be prudent.
I've smelled rotted human bodies and rotted shark carcass.....and rotted tuna will hang right with them.
There is just something about a rotted human body though....will make you gag from 100 foot away.
I should have known when the can was slightly puffy on the ends.
It was not out of date though.
Yea, you guys can just toss that whole it lasts whatever amount of years right out the fuckin door.

Well, I have actually tried many of these soups, as I would buy in bulk and keep them at work for easy lunches. My top three are:
Chicken corn chowder-thick and long lasting throughout the day
Chili Mac-surprised me!
Thai Chicken-broth flavor is wonderful and tastes exotic
My $0.02

My dad told me, you can smell a human from miles away, very distinct smell. Once you smell a dead human, you'll be able to recognize it.
Is the Hiss from pressure inside escaping outside (bad)
Or the his from pressure equalizing, like most canned goods (good)?
Good hiss from a non-bulged can. His channel is kind of interesting from some of the ancient stuff he has eaten.

Put two cans of post roast in a dutch oven, put frozen biscuit dough on top of the pot roast soup and cook on an open fire until the biscuits are done. Great meal for camping, deer camp, fallout shelter, etc...

Each can of delicious Chunky soup has ~2 cups of goodness.
16 cups in a gallon, therefore ~8 cans of nutritious Chunky soup per gallon.
2.438 gallons of Chili = 19.504 cans of Chunky soup in 6 minutes!!!

I took this picture in Seattle, in 2018:
My Wife grew up on a Farm and I grew up in a Family of 9.....food is never wasted between us. That said we have many times eaten both commercially canned foods and home/farm canned foods that were well over a decade old. Like I said earlier, I just finished up making a pot of chili (with beans) from 14 YO canned tomatoes my MIL canned on the farm in 2008. Not only were they good they were better than the commercial canned tomatoes I have bought in the store in past weeks.
We try and keep about 2 years of food in the basement - dried rice and beans, spices, salt, canned veggies, canned and dried meat, eggs, milk, etc. And we rotate all that stuff to keep it as fresh as possible. I have eaten (and enjoyed) commercially canned foods that were a decade+ old. The really old stuff has lost it's taste and texture to some degree but it didn't kill us nor was it really unappetizing. Not delicious but way better than going hungry. Think storing in a cool, dark place.....heat, moisture, and sunlight will destroy food stores.
I think people are spoiled with carry out, pre prepared, and eat in restaurant food. Most people I know make faces when we tell them we don't eat many burgers, steaks, fries, or prepared stuff like pizza and such. We make literally 99.9% of what we eat in our own kitchen. Hell, I have been making my own dog food for decades and my vets still are amazed at the health of my 13 YO Aussie Shepard...looks and acts like a pup but he's 90+ in human years.
We are what we eat.
VooDoo
Not too hot and good flavor. I put some in the chicken corn chowder and pot pie. Great in breakfast burritos but with nuke war burritos won’t be happening.
did the Chili have beans?
Of course.
Chili without beans is that commie meat soup heathens put on hot dogs

Bro you are about to start a shitstorm in this thread you don’t want any part of.Of course.

For the last damn time, chili doesn’t have beans. That’s called stew. Not even TEOTWAWKI chili.
(Man the battle stations, hoist the chili flags)
I'd eat chili w/o beans in it post global nuke war, but I'd miss the beans.
That chili-flavored soup of which you speak is a commie invention, designed to sap our precious bodily fluids. It makes men ride girl's bicycles, wear ruffled shirts and speak French. Not that there anything wrong with that, of course.
I even hear it has tofu.
Look up the info on The Bertrand
Here:
That said, any flavor is gonna be delicious in about two weeks, just make sure you get the "potassium iodide added" soups for nucular survival foods.

Judging by the size of that vat, I figure that stew might have some non-standard ingredients
Expiration dates on food products are not the dates beyond which the item is no longer consumable, or will somehow make you sick. It is date beyond which freshness is not guaranteed. Eating food beyond the expiration date will likely not make you sick (given that it has not otherwise been mistreated and has been stored appropriately), but it might not taste ’as good’ as it did when within the expiration date.

I wonder if one took some "past sell by date" Chunky soup and put it in a blender if it would make a passable gravy?
