It's going to be another frigid weekend in the northeast so we're stocking up on some homemade soup to carry us through. I bet the majority of people polled would raise their hands when asked if they had a can of Campbell's Tomato Soup in their pantry somewhere. And I bet when asked how long that can of soup has been sitting in the pantry, most people would say probably more than a couple months.
