Republished from 2023
“Listen, partner, making soup is the easiest thing in the world.”

“Joseph, I appreciate you like to try new ideas but some things, like soup, will never change.”

“Well, we have a huge crop of the best New Jersey beefsteak tomatoes this year…”
“Mister Joseph Campbell, if we sell more than one truckload of canned beefsteak tomato soup, I’ll make a broth out of my hat and eat that.”
