What's your favorite flavor and/or brand of canned soups?

This one is odd for me because I grew up on Campbell's condensed soups (you add water/milk) and Progresso soup for slightly more special occasions. I didn't like Campbell's then or now because it's too stew-like. Then in my late teens, I started buying Campbell's Select soups, which have better meaty ingredients and broth. But, now I'm back to Campbell's condensed soups. The prices on some flavors are comparable to Campbell's Select soups. Stores always have a few cream, chicken noodle, or tomato Campbell's condensed soups on sale but not usually flavors I like.
I tried the Campbell's Select Gold Label soups that come in boxes and are gourmet flavors.
Southwestern Corn Golden Butternut Squash Blended Red Pepper Black Bean Creamy Portobello Mushroom Italian Tomato with Basil & Garlic
I tried two and never again. Golden Butternut Squash tasted nasty! Italian Tomato with Basil & Garlic gave me heartburn for days! Blech!
I usually stick to a few flavors of most any brands. I love these:
Vegetable Beef (beef broth, not tomato!) Chicken noodle or rice (rarely now) Tomato (not in years (nothing spicy) Lentil Minestrone (not too spicy!) Bean with Bacon Split Pea Pepperpot (I think select, as condensed has tripe - pig stomach - in it..nasty!!) Italian wedding (beef meatballs with chicken broth) most any cream soups - potato or brocoli's my fav (good for cooking)
Oh, Wolfgang Puck had good soup but I don't see it in my area any more. They were near $3 but delicious! They were ragther greasy, so not for the health conscious!
Sometimes I get Healthy Request or Healthy Choice and add salt to them. lol
Hmm, a little more and I have an article!

Canned soups always upset my stomach, so I only use them to cook with. I use Cream of mushroom and chicken a lot.
