1. So, my family will not be eating any commercially produced soups anymore.

   • Good for you (and your family), Donna! As a side note, one of the best known commercial soup makers, Campbells, was one of the donors who fought (and defeated) GMO labeling in California… another reason to boycott ‘em.

2. Are there any brand canned soups w/o GMO? I dont cook and our diet includes a lot of cannedsoups – bummer – too many chemicals in everything!

   • Dan, I’ve got a page here on my blog called “Shopping List.” Under that you’ll find a sub-page called “GMO-Free Brands.” At the very top of that list is my favorite GMO-free, organic soup: Amy’s Kitchen (AND they are a family-owned, rather than major food corporation-owned company — many of the major food corporations donated against GMO labeling last month). My local Costco even carries Amy’s organic soups now… but if Amy’s is not available in your area, you could try ordering online from a place like http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com or http://www.boxorganix.com, or see if one of the soups on the Non-GMO Project’s website is on your grocery store shelves: http://www.nongmoproject.org/find-non-gmo/search-participating-products/?catID=23

3. I have heard that there somewhere in a bar code you could determine if it was made with GMO. Is that true, and if it is, where can I get it?

   • Phyllis, there is a 5-digit PLU code that indicates the status of food… but it’s an entirely optional system and to date, not a single GMO manufacturer (or grower) uses the code. This article from the Institute for Responsible Technology explains it best: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-smith/plu-codes-do-not-indicate_b_473088.html

4. I used to buy all of my condensed soups from Campbell’s, but stopped 8 months ago. I’ve found a condensed cream of chicken and mushroom soup for recipes, but to this day can NOT find a condensed tomato soup replacement for my recipes. I’ve bought organic ‘tomato soup’ but it’s watery and is meant for soup eating, not recipes. Any suggestions??

   • Good for you! I don’t know of a condensed variety, but the one I usually buy is a thicker, creamy kind made by Imagine: http://www.imaginefoods.com/content/organic-creamy-tomato-soup But I don’t know if you’d still have the watery problem. What about using an organic tomato paste instead, or in addition to the organic tomato soup? (BTW, when I was at Costco a week ago, I saw they were carrying Imagine’s Organic Tomato/Roasted Red Pepper soup, which could be a fun substitution in some recipes!)

5. A small vegetable garden in your own backyard can bring you many benefits. Not only will you realize the creative benefits of gardening, you will grow fresh produce for your family and the local food pantry. Gardening can be a family affair with your children acquiring gardening skills that can be passed on to their own children.

6. Try Harmony House dehydrated tomato powder, no added ingredients and you can mix to your desired consistency. I got mine on Amazon.

7. We should not have to buy organic and grow gardens in our yards to prevent GMO. We should be able to trust our government to provide SAFE food for all to eat. It isn’t safe. I am too busy to plant gardens and don’t make enough money to buy organics constantly but I have started buying them anyways. Not happy about Monsanto!!!

8. So, you’ve told us of soups that contain GMOs. Which ones don’t?
