The Greatest Food Culture Site Ever*
Too lazy to heat up some pre-made soup? Well, if you’re also too lazy to make a decent cup of coffee — which explains why you own a Keurig coffee maker — then Campbell’s Soup K-Cups are here to help.
Just pop a Campbell’s K-Cup into your ‘coffee’ maker, and let it brew over the included packet of dry pasta and “vegetable blend garnish.” A tepid cup o’ soup with coffee remnants will be ready in no time. Your move, Cup Noodles.

Deep-fried soup exists. And, it’s not NASA harnessing this technology, but rather KFC — probably with the help of a few former members of NASA.
KFC Japan is selling a corn potage in solid form to make soup on-the-go even easier. The makeshift corn fritter goes on sale this month. No spoon required.
New York-based fashion outfit Supreme now brings their counter-culture fashion to the soup community. Their Campbell’s Supreme line uses the iconic soup label to cover a few t-shirts, a line of Vans skate shoes, and a trucker hat.

Pho-kin’ pricey… The World’s Most Expensive Soup
Phở, the brothy Vietnamese staple long associated with affordability, will soon enter the ‘world’s most expensive’ delirium. One bowl of what is called AnQi Phở will be auctioned off to benefit the Children’s Hospitals of Los Angeles and Orange County, as well as the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital.
The bidding for this bowl of soup starts at $5000. But before anyone feels that parting with five-large might seem a bit ridiculous for what is essentially a peasant dish — the AnQi Phở will instead contain A5 Wagyu beef, white alba truffles, a foie gras broth, hand-raised bean sprouts, and noodles made from rare blue lobster meat.
No… it’s still stupid, but it’s for a good cause. Enjoy your soup, random rich person.
