[Sca-cooks] Turnips or Rutabagas? lost soups

[K C Francis]

It is interesting that each store/area has a different subset of soups.  I 
though they had stopped making Tomato Bisque.  I found it in a store in the 
central valley (calif).  Why it would be popular in a rather rural area and 
not in a more sophistificated area such as Marin Co. surprised me, though I 
did later find it in supermarkets here that I didn't normally shop in.  SO, 
check around and check their website for availability.
