What Is cookwithcampbells.ca?

Updated

cookwithcampbells.ca is the Canadian recipe site from Campbell's, built around one idea: using Campbell's condensed soup, broth, and other products as a shortcut to fast meals. It's a good starting point if you already have a can of Campbell's in the pantry and want a specific dish to make with it, or if you're planning a weeknight meal and want prep and cook times up front. It is a recipe and product-information site, not a store or a subscription service.

What you'll find on the site

The homepage organizes everything around a few entry points:

  • Featured recipe — a single highlighted dish, for example Gourmet Garlic Herb Mac & Cheese (prep 5 min, cook 15 min, serves 4).
  • Recipe collections — grouped themes such as Macaroni & Cheese Recipes, with a "view more" link to the full set.
  • Latest recipes — recently added dishes, each with prep time, cook time, and serving count. Examples from the homepage include Bacon-Asparagus Bundles with Dijon Cream Sauce (prep 7 min, cook 20 min, serves 12) and Herbed Turkey & Brioche Stuffing Cups (prep 15 min, cook 36 min, serves 12).
  • Videos — short recipe walkthroughs such as Easy Thai Shrimp Curry, Brown Rice and Chicken Lettuce Cups, and Easy Basil Chicken Pasta, each paired with its written recipe.
  • Featured product — a spotlighted item with a link to full product information, for example Campbell's® Ready to Use Spicy Chicken Broth (900 mL), shown alongside a matching recipe like Spicy Chicken Burrito Bowl (prep 5 min, cook 15 min, serves 4).
  • Newsletter signup — email signup for recipe ideas, plus links to Campbell's Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram accounts.

The site description also points to categories like slow cooker, chicken, beef, and low sodium recipes, so you can browse by cooking method, main ingredient, or dietary preference rather than scrolling the full feed.

How to use it to decide what to cook

  1. Start from what you have. If you have a specific Campbell's product on hand, use the featured product block or search for that product's recipes. If you don't, browse by category (chicken, beef, slow cooker, low sodium).
  2. Check the time budget first. Every recipe card lists prep time, cook time, and servings before you open it. A 5-minute prep / 15-minute cook recipe is a weeknight option; a 36-minute cook time is a different commitment.
  3. Use the video if the written steps are unclear. Videos are linked directly to their recipes, so you can watch the technique and then follow the written version.
  4. Scale for your table. Serving counts vary widely — 4 for the burrito bowl, 12 for the stuffing cups — so check before you shop.

What it is not

The page evidence shows no pricing, cart, or payment information, so treat this as a free-to-browse recipe resource rather than a shop. Nothing on the page indicates whether the newsletter or any other feature requires an account, so don't assume either way — sign up only if you want the emails.

Who it's for

  • Home cooks who want short, product-anchored recipes with clear time estimates.
  • Anyone cooking for a crowd who needs scaled serving counts (several recipes serve 8–12).
  • People who prefer video guidance alongside written steps.

If you don't use Campbell's products or want recipes built entirely from scratch, the site's core value — a product as the shortcut — won't apply to you.
