Okra is supposedly used for thickening as well, so I tried it once. Never again. Do not like the stuff.I used to like Campbell's chicken gumbo soup growing up, it had okra in it.

By itself, okrOa tastes good but has a slimy feel. It's great in gumbo, pickled or fried.
As for pea soup, I make a nice one and never heard of straining it. My mother used to love Habitant yellow pea soup from Canada.
Although I grew up with Campell's soup, I really don't like canned soup anymore. They taste funny since I learned how to make soups myself. I make my own favorite soups when I want them.
I just saw Heinz Oxtail soup on that link. First had it in Germany (home made of course) and it was delicious. Thinking of trying it. Baxter's is fairly reasonable.
