When I was a child, I remember that we ate Campbells’s soups for lunch. I loved Cream of Mushroom Soup. As a child, what did I know. Homemade is always better. As an adult, I made Cream of Mushroom Soup homemade and WOW, so much better. Oh don’t get me wrong. My mother, also, made homemade soups, I just remember the canned at lunch time. Children don’t remember everything.
