Campbell's Tomato Soup. So tomatoey, so incredibly acidic. Eat some when you had a cold sore, and scream with pain.
Mom would serve it to me when I had a cold. A few sniffs of the hot, corrosive steam rising off the soup would go a long way to clearing my sinuses. And I'm not kidding.
I can't say I cared for it by itself. But one of my special treats was to dunk half a well-dress a well-dressed tuna salad sandwich into the tomato soup before eating it. I thought that was delicious -- and I still do. Hand me half a sandwich and a bowl of tomato soup, and I'm ten years old again, sitting down for Saturday lunch at the old kitchen table with the oilcloth cover to eat a bowl of C&T with a tuna san.
