They were buying soup because it is food that has a pretty long shelf life. They are trying to buy food that will last a long time for a food shortage with an unknown end date. The soup doesn't need refrigeration, but it probably needs to be cooked. But mainly, it's for the long shelf life, much longer than many other foods.
