Sci. Lines: 18 eh. I was going to stop there, I noticed that PF has released a line of 'semi-condensed' soups (that means you add 1/2 a can of water if you haven't guessed.) They range from reasonably priced (the black bean soup with sherry I tried, about $1) to pretty hefty in my opinion (I forget, but I think a lobster bisque was over $3 for one of those small campbell sized cans.) The strange thing about this soup, in my opinion, was that it was velvety smooth, I expected a few beans. It wasn't bad tasting, maybe slightly bland. As I said, eh. I've always been a great fan of my own black bean soup, I think you oughta be able to see some beans. -Barry Shein, Boston University
