I don't can things with the goal of culinary perfection. Sustainable calories with enough variation to limit boredom. Canned soups are good on those cold days when you just want to heat up a quick lunch or when you are sick (stock rotation), who cares so much on the texture. I wouldn't serve it when the Queen comes to visit.
