Buying ahead, blogging ahead: BY #13 for November 20

My BY for the day: Can of Salisbury steak soup  (do not add water)

If I were adding anything to go along with this, it would be: This would probably be a good soup to put over mashed potatoes.

Not much else to say about this one--of course it would be better to be able to eat it heated, and any mashed potatoes you could whip up would help make each can stretch farther. My only thing that I would add is that make sure, that, as I mentioned in an earlier BY post, you buy a brand/type/flavor that you know your family actually likes. Not absolutely necessary, but certainly a way to help ensure that everyone would be more willing to eat it, especially if you have to serve it cold.

What are your favorite soups? Any that I haven't mentioned? Can 13 already... :)

TM Frugal Gourmet--Water storage really is key in so many ways, for itself, and for adding/preparing the food storage. And making sure it's safe to drink is priceless.. I love the potato pearls especially, myself, and we have bought the hot cocoa mix and given it for Christmas presents in food storage (tupperware-like) containers--gotta love the cannery...
