After learning that soup is sterilized in the canning process and doesn’t actually need to be reheated, I pretty much always just eat it straight from the can. It saves dishes and microwave time, and makes it extremely easy to just grab and go if I need something for the road.

But, somewhat understandably, I haven’t met anyone else who does this.

    Great for camping or if you’re just feeling lazy. Just rip it and sip it. 😂

    Due to my habit of eating soup straight from the can, my partners refer to it as “bachelorette chow.” I remain unrepentant.

    I have a mug that’s twice the volume of a condensed soup can. I’ll put an arbitrary amount of water in the electric kettle, dump the contents of one can into the mug and then fill the rest with the boiling water. Result is soup at the perfect temperature for consumption. Makes me feel better than having instant ramen when I’m lazy imo.

    Don’t eat from the can. The inside of the can is lined with plastic, so if you heat the can itself the plastic will leach into your food.

      You know that the food is cooked in the sealed can at the factory, right?

      I watched a documentary about the heinz factory and that was one of the surprising facts I took away from it.
