[net.cooks] minor product review -- pepperidge farm's black bean soup

eh.

I was going to stop there, I noticed that PF has released a line of
'semi-condensed' soups (that means you add 1/2 a can of water if you
haven't guessed.) They range from reasonably priced (the black bean
soup with sherry I tried, about $1) to pretty hefty in my opinion
(I forget, but I think a lobster bisque was over $3 for one of those
small campbell sized cans.)

The strange thing about this soup, in my opinion, was that it was
velvety smooth, I expected a few beans. It wasn't bad tasting, maybe
slightly bland. As I said, eh.

I've always been a great fan of my own black bean soup, I think you
oughta be able to see some beans.
