A Box of Canned Vegetable Soup is a shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Vegetable Soup. It is a bulk way to carry and store a filling soup that keeps for a long time. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of canned vegetable soup are a rare find on store shelves and in survivor caches.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each can needs a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone to open. An opened can of soup lowers hunger by 25 and thirst by 4. That makes it one of the most filling cans in the game.
The soup holds only 125 calories, so it fills the stomach far more than it feeds the body. A character living on it will slowly lose weight. The soup is good hot, so a warmed can gives a small mood lift. An opened can also adds 25 hunger to a Soup or a Stew.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of canned vegetable soup suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the soup stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be eaten.
Locations
A Box of Canned Vegetable Soup is a rare find. General stores and the shelves at Gigamart and grocery stores hold one now and then. Survivor food caches, survivor crates and house kitchens turn one up even less often. Grocery storage rooms and cafeteria kitchens hold one only once in a long while.

Notes
- Packing six loose cans into a box saves 0.8 weight.
- Each can fills the stomach well but holds few calories, so pair it with richer food.
- Heat each can before eating, as the soup is good hot.
- An opened can adds a full 25 hunger to a soup or stew pot.
