No surprise, really.

They want to keep the cost the same so the consumer doesn't ditch them. So as food prices rise, they simply add more and more water to the product. Trust me, I've noticed it to.

The REAL shame is that fresh beef and fresh vegetables are so expensive. I never understood how these companies can buy apparently at least some fresh meat and vegetables, can them, cook and season them, transport them all around the country, and sell them to me and you for a buck. To make the real thing yourself at home would cost $30 or better, and would not make 30 cans worth of soup, not even close.

It's a racket. These companies feed us their chemical and preservative ridden watered down mystery soup and it ends up being much more expensive to just cook your own fresh healthy soup... I really do not understand this country sometimes, what went wrong.
