I'm going to use my 20,000th post for a rant about soup. [View all]

I just made a can of Progresso "Rich and Hearty" Clam Chowder.

There was nary a DAMN CLAM to be found. Lots of potatoes, but no CLAMS. A slight clam taste could be detected, but no CLAMS! I've bought it in the past and the clams are always scarse, but there are CLAMS.

NO CLAMS THIS TIME! I will never buy their stupid soup again, and I'm going online now to see if I can complain about the fact that there were NO CLAMS in my damn CLAM chowder!

Grrr.
