Shelly in the Country Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I threw together a batch of Hamburger Soup in the crockpot this morning. I use canned tomato soup as the base. I opened up three cans of condensed Tomato Soup from Aldi's that I purchased on Sunday. They were oddly runny. Usually canned tomato soup is kind of thick and viscous. I generally use a spoon to scoop it all out. Today it just poured into the crockpot. I kept going anyway because I was in a hurry. Now that I have time to sit down and think about it, I'm wondering if there could be something wrong with the soup. (Please tell me there's not...otherwise I have to come up with something else for dinner.) Could it be the heat? Our house is air-conditioned, but the cans were stored in a warmer area of our kitchen (cabinet between the stove and a very sunny window).

Brilliant Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hmm. If there was not a smell or something else "off", I would eat it. If only one of the 3 cans had been different, I'd be more worried. But since they all just seemed thinner than usual, I'd *guess* they are OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 The soup was probably of the "ready to eat as is" variety as opposed to the condensed version. What does the label say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just dug one out of the trash and it is condensed soup. I used myself as a guinea pig and tasted a spoonful. It tastes like my normal Hamburger Soup... My dh has warned me that when he was still living with his folks they once got a can of green beans from Aldi with a pickle in it. A cautionary tale. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyce Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 If you've noticed a lot of their packaging has changed and we've noticed that some items don't taste the same. I've, personally, always thought the Aldi's soups were runny. I haven't used any since they changed the labels but I suspect it's coming from a new manufacturer and that's just the way it's packaged now.
