Canned Frozen Shrimp Soup - What?

Yes I remember my mom using Campbell's frozen Shrimp or cream if shrimp soup in dip!

So funny! I remembered a shrimp dip at a a party in 1961 at a classmate's house. She had a shrimp dip made by her mother with frozen shrimp soup. At 76 I still want some more! Since Google has everything recorded I thought I might be able to track down the soup. Alas, it must have been Campbell soup no longer produced. I have to accept it is gone for good. It was great!!

Campbell's frozen condensed Cream of Shrimp soup and other varieties of soups not currently found in stores but still available, can be found by googling. I, too, have Campbell's recipes calling for frozen cream of shrimp and I always used C's frozen C of S because it really works best with the recipes. Google Campbell's soups or some variation. The site sets forth various info, i.e. price (approx. $3.50/can), location, online availability, etc. Google search did not disappoint and will give you good information. The soup is still available by can or bulk (10-12 cans/for $40+). Shrimp 'n Shell Casserole was a favorite in the 60's and recipes called for the frozen cream of shrimp but I noticed that later C's recipe books call for other cream soups instead probably because the demand for shrimp soups were not as much in demand.

I am myself looking for the cream of shrimp by Campbell's, although I have used it in the past and it is similar to any other cream soup by Campbell's, not sure what to use as a substitute , other than making a cream based soup with shrimp, that's kind of an obvious conclusion but my only option.

Yes, I remember this! Thanks for the memories... I also remember Campbells having a frozen condensed Oyster Stew.

I'm old enough to remember it. It sat in the grocery store freezer compartment right next to the frozen minute steaks.

OK, your question intrigued me so I did my own internet search. I found an Ebay listing of a 1956 advertisement for Campbell's Frozen Cream of Shrimp soup (image attached). I guess this is the way Campbell's used to sell some of their soups. For what it's worth, the label says condensed, so I imagine you could just replace it with the modern non-frozen Campbell's Cream of Shrimp soup.
