Noooooo Campbell Soup recipe site has gone :(

[GeorginaA]

Damnit!

I knew that they'd gone over to Cross & Blackwell now, but they've stopped the recipes on their tins and there's not an equivalent recipe site on the Cross and Blackwell pages that I can find

There was some great recipes on there - a couple I had the foresite to print out, but loads more I never got around to.

American equivalent site is still up, but then you have to translate all the recipes back into english equivalent measurements and ingredients. Bah!

I have asked Consumer Relations and they are looking into it. Will keep you posted.

Oh brill, thanks CheesyFeet

If they can't put it back up for copyright reasons, can they just mail me the complete printouts Or is that too cheeky?

ooh you've taken me right back - in my singleton days i often used to have pasta with half fat condensed campbells soup as a sauce. in fact probably every other day.

was a right skinny minny.

I love their pasta bakes - far cheaper than getting a jar of "cooking sauce" and you add your own fresh ingredients too. Great "cheating" meals...

The mushroom one was/is a superb pasta sauce. Haven't used it like that for ages though, I had forgotten you could do it!

yum. you've put me in the mood for bacon and mushroom served in half fat mushroom soup sauce, with rice and lots of cracked black pepper. that's what we'll be having for tea tonight....

They had a great tuna pasta bake recipe - really quick and simple but delicious. And a chicken and leek bake of some description which I never got around to printing out. They even had a cake on there - but I was never brave enough to try that one

Oh, and their mediterranean tomato is a great base for a spaghetti bolognese or a lasagne....

yes, twas the mushroom soup one i used all the time. if i was feeling decadent i slung some real (gasp) mushrooms in with it, and even some grated cheese on top. oh happy days...

the days i didn't have this i used to have supernoodles

(this was long before anyone dreamt up GI/low-carb diets...)

Heheh... is there actually anything vaguely nutritious in a supernoodle, I could never decide? Didn't stop me eating loads though...

Gawd - a low carb/high protein diet would bankrupt a student

Lol this will put you off condensed soup cooking - just found this ancient recipe book on google:

57 ways with Heinz condensed recipe soups

Supernoodles are fab Great munchies after a lager fuelled night.

If you put loads of pepper in your mushroom pasta then it tasted quite good iirc. Just after my grant cheque arrived I might even put bacon in it. You could make a massive pan full and it would last for ages.

pmsl georgina that's fab

Grant cheque ... ... those were the days

i know - the cheques seemed like an inordinately large sum to me at the time. always dwindled remarkably quickly despite only ever taking a fiver out of the cashpoint each time.

have no idea how much they'd have been. a few hundred quid a term...?

I know when I moved out of halls, the cheque didn't cover my rent

i remember that my rent was £36 a week.

this was in 1989

luckily i have generous parents

Generous grandparents in my case. That and a well-used student loan that I've managed to defer every year since...

I had a generous bank manager... not so generous once I graduated though! I was on a full grant at around £1,000 a term. Nowhere near enough to keep body and soul together and drink ridiculous amounts of Stella too . And I smoked in those days. No wonder I was reduced to eating three day old pasta with a tin of soup poured over it!

funny ! my recipe hails from student days too! In fact we made it so often that i couldn't even think of the meal (let alone make it) for about 4 yrs after i graduated without heaving!
