Yummy!!!Jun 21, 2010 Thanks for keeping this product available. I just love my tomato soup. would definitely do business with this seller again.(and probably will when this soup runs out)
Just like grandma used to make!May 09, 2010 Wow, nothing like a bowl of Lipton Tomato Cup-a-Soup to take me back to my childhood.
I remember that when my mother had one of her, well, let's just call them "episodes", she'd drop me off at grandma's house and disappear for hours, maybe even days, but grandma would always force a smile and let me sit down with one of those connect-the-dots books while she'd make me a big, satisfying bowl of tomato soup.
First she'd get some tomato powder out of a big metal tin. Back then, if you wanted tomato powder you had to make your own, and grandma used to grow her own tomatoes in her yard and dry them in the hot sun on her porch, and then she'd grind them into powder using mortar and pestle.
Grandma would pour several big scoops of tomato powder in a big stock pot, and for every scoop of tomato powder she'd add a scoop of sugar, then she's stir it together and in a half an hour or so I'd have enough tomato soup to quietly sit and eat for hours while she watched her soap operas on her "portable" 19 inch black-and-white Motorola television. Ahhhh memories.
Now I can have tomato powder and sugar any time I want, and in half a minute -- not half an hour -- with this amazingly hearty and satisfying instant tomato soup! Just open a pouch into a microwavable cup and in a few short seconds, lunch is served. A lunch full of rich tomatoey goodness that will remind you of a simpler time, and perhaps bring back some childhood memories of your own.
Seriously, I made up that stuff about grandma, but I didn't make up the half sugar part. Check it out for yourself. This stuff is half sugar! Why? I though I was enjoying something delicious (well, as delicious as microwaved powder in water tend to get) and saving money on lunch too, and then I looked and found it was half sugar. Are the tomatoes they make the powder out of so sour that they need all this sugar? I don't get it, but I was very disappointed.
However, if you really love tomato soup, this is a very fast and cost effective way to get it, and it tastes amazing good all things considered.

Like the soup I had when I was a kid.Feb 14, 2010 I have loved tomatoes and tomato soup since I was little. My mom would hand me a can of Campbell's and send me off to walk to the babysitter, to eat before I went to kindergarten. I always ate the whole can's worth.
Now I am a nearly-retired engineer, working in an office many miles from home. My wife of 34 years sends me off with things for my lunch. When there isn't Lipton Tomato Cup-A-Soup in the bag, I reach into my bottom file drawer and pull one out of my own stash. The coffee machine makes the hot water for mixing it on the spot, and I love it as much as I did in 1957.
It's not a fine restaurant, it's my desk. It's not gourmet soup in a beautiful china bowl, it's Cup-A-Soup in my coffee cup. But it's tomato.

Tomato Cup-A-Soup reviewFeb 06, 2010 This soup is excellent for a quick pick-me-up and also is very good as a seasoning pack for dishes such as meat loaf or vegetable soup. Very good and very easy -- two things that appeal to me.
Tomato soup baseJan 23, 2010 Good by itself, but great with a good dash of Tabasco, or a spoonful of salsa and sour cream.
