South Florida recently was in the throes of a cold snap (got all the way down to 65.) I looked into my pantry to see what kind of stick-to-my-bones food I could serve for dinner, and spied the soup that my sister gave me. MyBlogSpark had sent her some new varieties of Progresso soups that are lower in sodium, calories and higher in fiber.
My daughter, the 9 3/4 year old food aficionado, concurred. Soup was on.
I was impressed that a 1-point meal of soup was as good as Progresso's Light Chicken Noodle Soup. The chicken was REAL chicken (not little brown mystery cubes) and the vegetables were firm and tasted and looked like real vegetables.
My notoriously picky daughter gave it two thumbs up.
Progresso has recently offered no MSG varieties of soup to their product line as well.
The cold snap ended days ago, but the soup is staying in the front of the pantry. I've started taking them to work for lunch; there are four new flavors that each have 7 grams of fiber per serving, which keep me full throughout the afternoon.
Right now, Progresso is holding a "Souper You" essay contest -- the grand prize is a trip to NYC for a makeover. The sweepstakes is going on through March 15. While you're getting the particulars on the sweepstakes, you also can get a $1 coupon for Progresso soup at the same site.
