Isn't that a bit redundant? So what would NONvegetarian vegetable soup look like? Well, my husband informs me that regular vegetable soup would have beef stock. This one has tomato. I still think it sounds rather silly. What do you think?

Your dh is correct. That’s so vegetarians won’t be afraid to eat it thinking it has beef or chicken stock in it. Remember the uproar a few years back when it was disclosed that McDonald’s fries were so good ’cuz they were soaked in beef stock before frying? Same kind of thing. Lots of foods have vegetables and no meat as the main course, but they do have meat additives and byproducts, especially stock used to make soup. I agree it sounds a bit funny, but there IS a purpose to this one! :)
Then I think Campbell’s should start putting NONVegetaran Vegetable Soup on the other lables! ROFL
Carla is right. Most vegetable soup is ‘non-vegetarian’ because it contains meat of some sort. Beef meat or beef stock. Chicken meat or chicken stock. Other types of meat or meat stock. Even meat stock makes a food non-vegetarian in the strict sense of the word.
What Campbell’s should do is call the soup Vegan Vegetable soup. Vegan implies no animal source at all. Not even milk or eggs.
Yes that makes more sense, Carrie!
Without reading the other comments, I would think that normal vegetable soup has meat in it? At least I know that’s how a lot of folks here in the South do it.
