but luckily a lot of the store brands are actually made by Campbells,
without their name on it, and at a lower retail price....

As a child, one of my favorites was Campbell's "Chicken Gumbo Soup"---
but now I make REAL "chicken gumbo" in large quantities for the freezer---

I think I improved on their recipe (I like to put peppercorns in mine,
and a lot more red pepper and garlic!)
