So I tried the beef and barley one today.
Pros:
Control the amount of meat, vegetables and salt in your soup. This is important to me because I water down the ready to eat canned soup because I find it too salty. I don't eat condensed soup so can't compare.
Cons:
Inconvenient: you have to buy the kit, beef, carton of broth and vegetables all separately. You can't just add water like other dry soups. You need a full carton of broth, or you can't make it. I didn't have any broth so had to make something else for dinner. The pouch needs a big label on the front pointing out that you need to buy ingredients.
Expensive- After having to buy all the ingredients, it came to about $12 for two people.
Time consuming - you have to cook it for 45 minutes (gotta cook the barley from a dry state). I feel like partially cooked stuff (like the Uncle Ben's Bistro Express rice) would save a lot more time.
Taste- tasted good, but not much different than the canned stuff to be honest.This thread is currently associated with: N/AApply every possible promo code to your cart, at every store that you visit (and get points for cash back on top of that?). It's sweet and easy with HONEY.

I tried the vegetable soup and it tasted like indian curry. Definitely was not expecting that. I didn't add the fresh vegetables and I'm glad I didn't because it would've been a waste. I will not waste my money on trying another one of these!

thanks for the review. I bought a thai curry one to try. Will post review later. I did not read the kit closely but if it's like the one OP used then i'll have to get other ingredients which defeats the whole point of it being convenience.

I was all set to purchase a package when I took a closer look at the front of it. Right back on the shelf it went. I think Campbell's came out with these not as a matter of convenience but rather for people who don't know how to cook and want to feel that they made a soup from "scratch."
