You know who is making money despite the total eclipse of your 401k? Campbell Soup Company. That's right. When you're broke — you eat soup. But which soup should you eat?

Consumer Reports tests soup, and they've reported that the Original Soup Man (yes, the guy from Seinfeld), which costs $3 for a single cup, made the tastiest but not exactly the cheapest chicken soup. Campbell's Select Chicken With Egg Noodles ($1.32 a cup), was only "good" because of its "slightly sour, fatty mouthfeel" and "mushy vegetables."

Sounds delicious.

So tell us: Are you eating more soup lately?
