Pacific Organic Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup
"As soon as fall hits, I find myself stocking up on this boxed Pacific Organic Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup [2] ($4). I heat some up on the stove while I make grilled cheese 'croutons' [3] in my sandwich press. I throw the grilled cheese squares into the soup and add some extra red pepper flakes. It's my favorite cold-weather meal." — Madison Meltzer, associate social media strategist
"Manischewitz Matzo Ball Chicken Soup [4] (in a can) is honestly better comfort food for me than mac and cheese!" — Alaina Demopoulos, editorial assistant, Beauty
Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup
"I will always love Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup [5]; my mom always gave it to my brother and I when we were sick. Yes, she makes a way better soup from scratch, but it's nostalgia and comfort in a can!" — Dominique Astorino, assistant editor, Fitness
Amy's Thai Coconut Soup
"I stock up on Amy's Thai Coconut Soup [6] ($5) during colder months. The spicy coconut milk broth is specked with sweet potatoes, green beans, and mushrooms for a heartier vegetarian soup." — Anna Monette Roberts, editor, Food
Pacific Organic Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
"I love this Pacific Organic Creamy Butternut Squash Soup [7] ($4) to use as a base for adding other veggies, beans, and cooked rice." — Jenny Sugar, contributing editor, Fitness
Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup
"The only soup I ever have a can or two of in my pantry at all times is Campbell's Condensed Tomato Soup [8] ($1). Mixed with a little milk or even water, it always hits the spot when you think you have nothing good to make — especially with a grilled cheese [9]." — Joanna Douglas, senior editorial director, Native
Trader Joe's Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup
"The crispy crunchy mochi rice nuggets make the perfect croutons and they don't get soggy. Also, when the soup is warming up, I add in some garlic powder, black pepper, and a pinch of sugar — crispy herbs would be good, too!" — Jae Payne, visual designer
Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
"I love green bean casserole, and this Campbell's Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup [10] ($1) is a star ingredient. It's a must have for me." — India Yaffe, associate editor, commerce
Amy's No Chicken Noodle Soup
"Amy's No Chicken Noodle Soup [11] ($3) is the ultimate comfort food that makes me feel like I'm a kid again (but it simultaneously satisfies my vegan needs). Even if I'm not sick, I love to curl up on the couch with a bowl of it and catch up on bad TV." — Gina Florio, editor, Fitness
Pacific Organic Chicken & Wild Rice Soup
"On chilly winter nights when I'm feeling lazy, I always turn to Pacific Organic Chicken & Wild Rice Soup [12] ($4). I'm easily skeeved out by meats in premade soups, but the chicken in this soup is actually legit and totally tasty." — Victoria Messina, editorial assistant, Trending and Viral Features
"The comforting chicken and rice soup tastes homemade." — EC
Amy's Lentil Soup
"I also like Amy's Lentil Soup [13] ($3). I keep a can in the pantry for quick lunches — it's great on it's own or topped over cooked quinoa." — JS
Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup
"This Campbell's Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup [14] ($1) is also something I like to have in my pantry, because it adds so much flavor." — IY
