but imo I'm amazed that Western ready-made soups have become so terrible
meanwhile instant noodles have gone in the other direction
soup was always my go-to quick meal when I was younger, but unless I pay an absurd amount for bougie brands now I feel like they're pretty disapointing whenever I make one
ramen though, seems to just have a much higher floor, even the super cheap ones
(aside from that terrible crab one we tried Max)
"low sodium, weight-watcher verified Oprah soup with 80 kcal per can"
it's also funny, because making a "healthy" soup is literally just chicken stock + 1 or 2 stable veggies like celery
but I don't even think they do that
all the soups are full of sugar and starchs and other nonsense that is shelf stable for longer
and I'm not claiming I don't want potatoes in my soup
I just don't want them to taste like ass because they're meant to survive 5 years
I feel like a single serving of soup is healthy enough, low-sodium/low-fat is a meme anyway
I'd like to get back into making more stews/soups like I did in college, but making a pot and storing it and cleaning up later
the single serving ones were just so easy when they were good

we have so many Vegetables from our garden we just make soups weekly
college, I used to just eat that soup until it was gone, mostly to save money
now that I'm less broke though, I like not awlays eating the same thing every meal for 3+ days
yeah, it's just me being lazy mostly, could totally add stuff to the soup over time or w/e
but, I'd also just rather there were better single serving soup options as well
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 @Dane you need to try these
I dont really like noodles but sure i'll try em out
