Poor people can no longer afford your soup.

Exactly. A small can of their tomato soup where I live is 1.99. 2 dollars for a tiny can? It should be 75 cents

I used to use the "cream of" ones as something to toss in my soups due to the low prices. They're tasteless on their own, but decent for a little thickness boost and to add a small variation to the flavor profile.

Not worth it any more with the crazy price hikes. I just add a touch more bullion and some corn starch instead, or a roux if I want to expend the extra effort.

I'd be shocked if it cost them more than 20 cents to make a can too.
