Ok, I'm a sucker for a new (to me) product, so I picked up a bottle of "Shotgun Willie's" Queso sauce (appeared to be a cheese/jalapeno glop, sounded good) for $3.19 (for about 12 oz, small bottle.) We're talking Campbell's 'cheddar' cheese soup and a few bits of jalapeno, we're talking lousy, don't be fooled by the high price. It was sweet and 'cornstarchy'. -Barry Shein, Boston University

*** The following is an opinion *** Campbells, a name I've trusted for years, recently introduced a line of 'sophisticated' creamy soups. I figured, "Campbells, sure, good stuff". WRONG! These soups are terrible! I've tried Creamy Potato and Creamy Spinich and both taste nothing like the vegtable they are named for. As a matter of fact, both times after eating the soups, I had a rather upset stomach. And if that weren't enough, the guest I had over when I served the Creamy Potato soup also felt sick! Don't be misled by their snob-appeal advertising campaign, stick with good ol' Chicken Noodle. -- Edward C.

I've had the Creamy Asparagus a couple of times and the Creamy Cauliflour once, and I thought that both were rather good. My cat especially loved the cauliflour soup. :-) :-) Lynn houxm!houxa!lmv

I attributed the sickness to it's being "rich" or being slightly lactose intolerant, but strangely enough I can eat other things. I guess we should inform the company. -tom
