Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really microwave this in a normal office breakroom microwave?
Yes. The 18.8 oz can is designed to go into a standard microwave. Most people microwave it in a microwave safe bowl for about 2 to 3 minutes, stir, then heat another minute. The can itself is recyclable steel, so do not put the sealed can in the microwave.
Will 13 grams of protein in one can get me through an afternoon of meetings?
For most adults, 13g of protein plus the potatoes, beef steak chunks, and vegetables is a filling, satisfying lunch that holds you until a late afternoon snack. It is one of the higher protein canned soup options on a grocery or pantry shelf.
How long does it take to heat and eat on a 30 minute lunch break?
Plan on about 4 to 5 minutes total. Pour into a bowl, microwave for 2 to 3 minutes, stir, heat 1 more minute, and eat. That leaves plenty of time to eat, rinse the bowl, and get back to your desk without feeling rushed.
Is this filling enough to replace a takeout lunch at the office?
For many office workers it absolutely is. The combination of beef steak pieces, potatoes, carrots, and a thick broth is closer to a real meal than a thin cup of soup, and it costs less than most delivery lunch options.
Does it make the office microwave smell strong?
It has a noticeable beef and tomato aroma, similar to most hearty canned soups. If you are sharing a small microwave, covering the bowl with a plate or paper towel keeps the smell contained, and the office generally does not mind the scent of lunch.
Is there a way to make it less salty for a work day?
Yes. Many office workers dilute it with a splash of hot water, stir in some extra rice, or add their own black pepper and herbs to balance the flavor. Adding a side of bread or unsalted crackers also tones down the saltiness.
Can I keep a few cans in my desk drawer as a backup lunch?
Absolutely. The cans are shelf stable, so a small stash in a desk drawer or office cabinet means you are never stuck when you forget your lunch or work through a break. Just keep a can opener or pop top style on hand.
Does it come with a pop top lid or do I need a can opener?
Some Campbell's Chunky 18.8 oz cans use a traditional pull tab lid and others use a standard can opener depending on the production run. Check the top of the can. If it is a traditional lid, keep a small can opener in your desk or kitchen.
Is this a smart thing to keep in a dorm pantry between classes?
It is one of the best dorm pantry picks. You get a real, hot meal in minutes with no stove, the protein helps with focus during long study sessions, and the can does not need a mini fridge.
Can I stretch one can into lunch and a leftover snack?
The 18.8 oz size is generous, so most people find it is a full single serving. If you want to split it, pour half into a bowl and refrigerate the rest in a sealed container for an afternoon snack or next day mini meal.
Is it cheaper to buy a multi-pack for the office kitchen than going out for lunch?
Yes. Even a small case of Campbell's Chunky cans comes out to a fraction of a single takeout or delivery lunch, which is why many regular office workers stock a few cans in the breakroom for the days they did not pack a meal.
Will the thick soup stain or splatter in the breakroom microwave?
It can bubble up, just like any thick canned soup. Use a deep microwave safe bowl rather than a shallow one, and pause halfway to stir. A paper towel or microwave cover also keeps the inside of the microwave clean.
Is the can small enough to toss in a work bag for an emergency meal?
It is a bit large for a laptop bag, but it fits easily into a tote, commuter backpack, or a small insulated lunch tote. Many commuters keep one in their work bag on Mondays as a backup plan for the week.
Does the protein content actually help with afternoon focus?
A lunch that combines protein, vegetables, and some complex carbs from potatoes is generally steadier for blood sugar than a carb heavy fast food lunch, which is why many remote workers reach for this kind of canned meal between deep work blocks.
What is the best way to clean up at the office after eating it?
Use a bowl and a spoon, rinse immediately in the breakroom sink, and recycle the can. The whole cleanup takes about a minute and there is no greasy takeout box or bag to throw away.
Is this a good pantry item to order in bulk for a home office?
Yes. It is one of the easiest work from home pantry staples to keep on a shelf, and ordering it through Amazon delivery avoids carrying heavy cans home from the grocery store.
How do I heat Campbell's Chunky Steak With Hearty Vegetables Soup?
The most common method is to pour the soup into a microwave safe bowl, cover loosely, and microwave on high for about 2 to 3 minutes, stir, then heat for 1 more minute. On the stove, pour the soup into a saucepan and heat over medium, stirring occasionally, for about 5 to 7 minutes until hot. Do not microwave the sealed metal can.
Do I need to add water to the can before heating?
No. The soup is already prepared at the right consistency in the can. You can add a splash of water or broth if you prefer a thinner soup, but it is ready to heat and eat as is.
How long does an unopened can last in the pantry?
Campbell's Chunky canned soups are dated for a long shelf life, typically several years from the production date printed on the can. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and they will stay safe and good quality through the printed date.
Is this can safe to put in the microwave?
No. The 18.8 oz can is recyclable steel, which is not microwave safe. Always transfer the soup to a microwave safe bowl before heating, and recycle the empty can after you rinse it.
Does it work with a pop top lid or do I need a can opener?
Many production runs of this Campbell's Chunky 18.8 oz can include a pull tab style lid, while others use a standard lid that requires a can opener. Check the top of the can you receive. If it has a pull tab, no tools are needed.
What is actually in the box when I order it?
Each order is one 18.8 oz recyclable steel can of Campbell's Chunky Steak With Hearty Vegetables Soup. Multi pack listings include the corresponding number of cans. You will need a microwave safe bowl and a spoon for heating and eating, and a can opener if your can does not have a pull tab lid.
Is the can BPA free and safe for food?
Campbell's steel cans are produced to current FDA food contact standards for lined steel cans. The interior of the can has a food grade lining designed to keep the soup safe and tasting right through the printed shelf life.
How should I store leftovers after opening the can?
Transfer any unused soup to a sealed container and refrigerate within two hours of opening. Use refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days. Do not leave opened canned soup at room temperature for extended periods.
How is Campbell's Chunky different from Campbell's regular condensed soup?
Campbell's Chunky soups are ready to eat and loaded with visible chunks of meat, vegetables, and potatoes in a thicker broth, while Campbell's Condensed soups are concentrated and require added water or milk. Chunky is closer to a full meal in a can, which is why the 18.8 oz can is a common pantry pick.
