THE SKINNY: Campbell's new soup line is called Well Yes!
Is that true? Well, yes.
We don't know if they mean like "Well, yes!" or "Well? Yes!" because punctuation is missing. But we know this much: The colorfully packaged soups (which feature "carefully chosen" ingredients like kale and quinoa, as well as chicken with no antibiotics) in non-BPA-lined cans contain no artificial ingredients and cater to the more health-conscious consumer. (The health-focused consumer who isn't too concerned about sodium: A whole can contains about 50 percent of one's daily allotment.)
The not entirely light soups are available in nine appealing flavors: Sweet Potato Corn Chowder; Hearty Lentil With Vegetables; Minestrone With Kale; Roasted Chicken With Wild Rice; Italian Vegetables With Farro; Tomato Carrot Bisque; Hearty Tomato With Roasted Barley; Chicken Noodle; and Black Bean With Red Quinoa.
My favorite out of the sample box Campbell's sent (the week I had a cold, no less) was the Sweet Potato Corn Chowder.
Because, well, yes, I would like a carby, creamy one best.
