Why do so many canned soups and boxed dinners contain so much garlic?

I can’t say I have noticed it that bad, then again I really like garlic. it’s good for ya.

My wifes makes a ton of homemade soup and it’s better, anyway.

So who wants canned? When is lunch? What time should we be there?

Like @woodcutter I can’t say I’ve noticed the overwhelming use of garlic in canned soups and other processed foods, but I also like garlic. And how on earth is there any room left over for garlic with all the sodium they put in that stuff?

As someone who eats his weight in garlic each month, I don’t understand the question.

Im with @incendiary_dan on this one. Anyway, eating home made soup is about 20 times better for you than canned rubbish. So is not all bad.

The main thing that is in canned soup is sodium. Usually, there is at least half the total recommended amount (per serving) per day of sodium. I’ve never noticed that garlic is one of the main ingredients in canned soup, and it never tastes like garlic to me. Garlic is something that is actually good for you and tastes really good. Why bother with canned soup if your wife can make better homemade soup. I still don’t understnd the prob with garlic. When I make my own soup, I add lots of garlic (but no sodium).

Have we really run out of things to bitch about that we need to move on to canned soup?

I haven’t really noticed that, and you’re talking to someone who pretty much just lives off that shit.
I just assume that whatever mass produced food I get isn’t actually what it says it is, so even if it has too much garlic, it probbaly isn’t real anyways. You’re better off with real garlic.
Something about preservation, I think.
You gotta admit though man, boycotting canned soups…that’s fucking funny lol. I mean it sounds funny lol.

Symbeline, i was just thinking about making some protest signs and walking up and down the canned soup aisle asking people to boycott all canned soup.

Now that i think about it, it is kind of funny.

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
