Balderdash, Progresso soup is good, I have it most every day.
Take a bag of chopped frozen soup veggies, a small handful of pasta, a piece of cheese, optional is leftover meat/fish/bird.
Nuke that sucker up, the pasta absorbs much of the liquid, the cheese thickens it, and everything absorbs the flavor.
French Onion and Tomato are exceptionally good, thicker stuff like chowder need a touch more water.
When it goes on sale, 10 cans for $10, I load up.
