I'm not what you'd call a "scented candle person." It's not that I'm opposed to them; I just don't buy them or even think about them. Occasionally, my wife will bring one home and light it when the dog is overdue for a bath. But I may finally be jumping on board the scented candle train because I do love soup.

Campbell's Soup has announced that they've partnered with CAMP, The Family Experience Company, to release two limited-edition soup-scented candles:

  • Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese – Described as being “reminiscent of roasted tomato, peppercorn and grilled cheese.”
  • Chicken Noodle Soup – This one features scents of chicken, cloves and buttery crackers.

I wouldn't mind at all if my house could smell like soup whenever I pleased. The candles look like real cans of Campbell's soup and contain a miniature ‘Snowbuddy’ keepsake that’s revealed after they've fully burned. Plus, both scents are paired with a “Winter Warmup Guide,” which features activities for parents and kids, including family-friendly recipes, games, arts and crafts, and more.

The candles cost a bit more than the actual soup. They're $24 each but 10% of total sales will help benefit Feeding America. You can get yours at Camp.com/Campbells. Mmm, mmm, good!
