What Types of Campbell's Soups and Products Are Available?

Updated

Campbell's organizes its products into two main groups: Ready to Cook and Ready to Eat. If you want a soup you can heat and serve directly, look at the Ready to Eat line. If you plan to use the soup as an ingredient or add liquid before serving, the Ready to Cook line (mainly condensed soups) is the right starting point. The site also lists sauces, gravies, and a gluten-free collaboration with Banza.

Ready to Cook

These products are designed to be prepared or used as an ingredient rather than eaten straight from the can.

  • Condensed Soups — the classic Campbell's format, typically mixed with water or milk before serving, or used in recipes.
  • Cheese Soups
  • Spicy Soups
  • Unsalted Soups
  • Gluten Free Soups
  • Campbell's Sauces

Ready to Eat

These are ready to heat and serve without adding liquid.

  • Chunky® Soups
  • Chunky™ Frozen Bowls
  • Campbell's Protein Soups — described as having 20g of protein per can from ingredients like white meat chicken and slow-simmered bone broth, and a good source of fiber.
  • Homestyle Soups
  • Heart Healthy Soups
  • SpaghettiOs® Pasta
  • Slow Kettle® Style Soups
  • Gravies

Most Popular Flavors

The site highlights four flavors as the most popular:

  • Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Tomato Soup
  • Cream of Chicken Soup
  • Cream of Mushroom Soup

Special Lines Worth Noting

  • Campbell's x Banza® — a gluten-free version of the classic Chicken Noodle Soup, described as the first time this option has been available.
  • Campbell's Protein Soups — positioned around higher protein content per can.
  • Heart Healthy — a separate line listed alongside the other ready-to-eat soups.
