Wow, Thanks for posting this picture. I love vintage graphics like this & these sort of vintage food products are really hard to find. It’s a shame the HOBO website makes you buy a case for $60.00!

Thanx, Tommy

They actually sell this stuff. I live in MN, the state of its origination, and was shocked to see it amongst all the other soups in the local Byerly’s (a very high end grocery store). Haven’t tried it yet; I’m waiting for someone to come out with “Hillbilly Soup.” Junkyard Clubhouse needs to get hip to pushing hillbilly stuff.

So who gets cast in “Hobos of the Carribbean”, Nick Nolte, perhaps? He already looks like a hobo and probably smells bad too.

I think I’ll like Smell Like a Hobo Day better than Talk Like a Pirate Day.

I’m going to hold you to that.

“This soup was the brainchild of a small-town newspaperman from Ortonville, Minn., who in 1953 went into the local hobo camps in search of a feature story. As a result he was treated to old-fashioned homemade hobo soup and felt the world should share in this down-to-earth cuisine. Made with beans, potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, celery, onions, and turnips, and flavored with bacon to give it a satisfying smoky taste, this thick and hearty vegetable soup is literally a meal in itself. Simply heat and eat.”
