296331 Tue Mar 02 13:01:02 -0800 2004 19 27 General Chowhounding Topics 0 1631832 After reading John Thorne's article about this soup we searched around at a few grocery stores to find it and had it for dinner last night. Delicious, if a bit salty. Due to the tripe, it has that very distinctive flavor, though, not overwhelming. I enjoyed it, and will definately buy it again. I just wish it didn't cost $2.49 a can. But I guess that's a small price to pay to not have to cook tripe from scratch. Tue Mar 02 13:01:02 -0800 2004 0 srr 1 1631837 Could you post a link to this article? I grew up eating Pepper Pot and love it. It's pretty hard to find in my area (Boston)but I'm glad to know there are other fans out there. Tue Mar 02 13:27:26 -0800 2004 1631832 0 Raconteur 2 1631848 John Thorne's website is outlawcook.com, but I actually read the article in the "Best Food Writing 2003" available at your local bookseller. They have put out an edition for the last 4 years or so. They're great reads. Tue Mar 02 15:29:41 -0800 2004 1631837 0 srr 2 1631897 Tried the Brigham Circle Stop & Shop to no avail. Where can you find it in the Boston/Cambridge area? Wed Mar 03 10:02:31 -0800 2004 1631837 0 Taralli 3 1631904 Hi guys, I've started a discussion on the Boston Board, linked below....Not canned, tho....

Personally, I'd love to know who carries it in the Boston area. Two years ago, I searched all over northwest suburban Boston for Pepper Pot soup. (My mother had requested some for a Christmas gift!) After a long, fruitless search, I eventually ordered 12 cans from netgrocer.com. It seemed like a lot of trouble for soup but my mother sure appreciated it! Link: http://netgrocer.com/ Wed Mar 03 14:26:45 -0800 2004 1631837 0 Aquila 3 1631939 I very rarely find it in market basket stores outside of boston. Some in NH, some in RI carry it occasionally. Wed Mar 03 16:06:58 -0800 2004 1631928 0 Raconteur 1 1631855 It is salty but I do love it too. I grew up eating it. I can find it at jungle Jim's in Cincinnati. Odly enough the soup is made in Canada for Campbells. Tue Mar 02 16:36:45 -0800 2004 1631832 0 Candy 2 1631910 The three "import" flavors I recall from upper Vermont are Pepper Pot, Scotch Broth and French Canadian Pea Soup (regular one in US is just "Pea Soup"). Are there others? And where are people finding these in the US - some sort of Canadian shop? Is there a comprehensive list of Campbell's national variants somewhere? Wed Mar 03 12:25:23 -0800 2004 1631855 0 Redde 3 1631914 As I said I buy mine at Jungle Jims in Cincinnati. I knew the Scotch Broth was a Canadian product but did not know that Campbells had a Canadian Pea soup. I usually stock up on the Habitant Pea Soup when we are home in the northeast. It is a Canadian brand and they use lard in it. You can't beat it's flavor Wed Mar 03 13:27:38 -0800 2004 1631910 0 Candy 4 1631924 In Central Texas, we have "Crema de Calabeza," which is squash flowers, "Crema de Poblano," and Mexican lentil (with cactus!). There all really good. I often have the lentil one for breakfast. Wed Mar 03 14:02:20 -0800 2004 1631914 0 rudeboy 5 1631938 And they are made by Campbell's Mexico? There's got to be a list somewhere! Wed Mar 03 16:01:33 -0800 2004 1631924 0 Redde 6 1631951 Yeah, Campbell's makes soup in Mexico, which you can often find in Mexican markets. They even carry a couple of varieties in the Mexican foods section of my local Albertson's (which is adjacent to the Mexican district in Oakland and has the largest Mexican food selection I've seen in a mainstream supermarket). Wed Mar 03 17:17:22 -0800 2004 1631938 0 Ruth Lafler 7 1632030 My local Kroger here in Bloomington, IN carries the Mexican line from Campbells. We were back visiting my family in Douglas, Az. 7-8 years ago and doscovered them. We bought a bunch to bring home. Pretty good as canned soup goes. Thu Mar 04 15:15:39 -0800 2004 1631951 0 Candy 6 1632509 IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN TELL ME WHERE I CAN BUY A CASE OF THE SOUP. I LIVE IN MAINE (USA) AND THEY DONT SELL IT HERE. Tue Mar 09 16:47:37 -0800 2004 1631938 0 R. ECONOMY 2 1632567 It can be bought on line at HOMETOWN FAVORITES. Unfortunately they are right now out of stock but expect it in soon. Wed Mar 10 07:21:14 -0800 2004 1631855 0 DANNY BOY 1 1631900 Campbell's customer service # is 800-257-8443. I'm sure they can steer you to a store with Pepper Pot soup. (Their web site is useless.) Wed Mar 03 10:16:06 -0800 2004 1631832 0 GretchenS 2 1631937 Their 800 number is useless too for inquiries. Wed Mar 03 15:58:07 -0800 2004 1631900 0 Taralli 3 1631950 Figures. Wed Mar 03 17:11:58 -0800 2004 1631937 0 GretchenS 1 1632058 my husband's family *loves* this soup. in fact, we even got my bil cans of it for his birthday because he can't find it in orange county (calif.), where he lives. we buy it every chance we get because it is scarce. we have found it in the la area at vons (vons.com) and at hows markets (howsmarkets.com). now that the strike is over, we'll have to check and see if vons still has it.
