Campbell Soup At Hand New England Clam Chowder, 10.75-Ounce Microwavable Cups (Pack of 8) Review

This clam chowder is very creamy and tasty. One thing that some people may not like is the fact that unlike all of Campbell's other New England clam chowder's, the Soup at Hand clam chowder has NO chunks of anything what so ever. I am not exaggerating when I say that there is nothing much bigger than a grain of rice in this soup. At first I didn't like the texture of the chowder, but now I kind of like it because all the tiny bits in it makes the seem a bit thicker. If you like big chunks of potato and clams you will not find it here.
I believe that the other reviewer that talked about the chunks of potato etc. probably has tried Campbell's other microwavable Clam chowder which does indeed have big chunks, but I don't think that reviewer has eaten the Soup at Hand version of the chowder.

Bob's Red Mill Red Lentils, 27-Ounce Units (Pack of 4) Review

Bob's Red Mills lentils are my favorite legume. They have a slightly sweet taste and cook very fast- 20-30 minutes. Be careful not to over-cook them because they are very tender and will fall apart, still tasty though. The soup I make calls for sauteed carrots, celery, & onion. Add ham or sausage if you wish. 1 garlic clove, oregano, salt (if you haven't added salty ham), and optional hot pepper flakes. It is very hardy and filling. Caution: Lentils can be difficult for diabetics to handle.

These cute little legumes have a pleasant, earthy flavor. They're very easy to prepare, needing no presoaking and cooking in just 30 minutes. They're not only tasty and simple to cook, but also a good source of protein, iron and dietary fiber. You can see our quality! Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers. All natural.

Bob's Red Mill Soup Mix, Veggie, 28-Ounce Units (Pack of 4) Review

First of all, don't be put off by the price. If you've kept track of grocery store receipts lately or the sharp increase in basic foods over the last year, you may see how this product could save you time, gas and MONEY.
At the time of this writing, it cost about $16.88 for four packages of this mix. EACH package easily serves 8-16 people with soup left over.
While the instructions note to add 4 cups of water or a water and broth combo, we quickly discovered we had to double or even triple the liquid added. No problem there, because we had more soup!
If you don't have fresh veggies or spices around, this will suffice as is and it is thick and satisfying. If you garden, you'll improve the taste by adding fresh chopped parsley, garlic and whatever veggies you want. A can of tomatoes (or fresh, chopped ones) does no harm. This is a mix you can play with, add ingredients and spices.
IMPORTANT: this is not a salted mix. It is full of split peas, barley, lentils, whole wheat pasta, dehydrated spinach, tomato, onion, etc. If you don't use salt, consider adding a salt substitute. I also added basil. It was delightful, quick and is now a pantry staple.

Dr. McDougall's Right Foods Vegetable Soup, 18.0-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6) Review

I usually just don't buy canned/boxed veggie soups. I find most just plain suck. But this one is quite nice. Granted, it's a convenience soup, so it's not gonna shine like homemade, but it's quite convenient, yes, and flavorful and serviceable. Even my veggie-not-so-friendly hubby will eat this and enjoy it. This is great for those soup and sandwich lazy lunches, when I can split the box with hubby.
It's got a nice texture, not too brothy or too thick. It's got a nice mouth feel. Not too acidic, as some veggie soups can be, overusing tomato. This is a great addition to a low-calorie/weight watching diet. The whole box is only 150 cals. There's lentils and brown rice in there, too, so you get some protein. (And it adds to the nice texture).
Low calorie, with fiber and vegan-friendly, pleasant flavor. It's a good deal and in these economically-challenged times, great to take to work (if you keep a bowl there), as the package opens easily with just your hands. :)
Enjoy.

Dr. McDougall's Right Foods Vegan Split Pea Soup, Light Sodium, 1.9-Ounce Cups (Pack of 6) Review

Dr. McDougall's Right Foods Vegan Split Pea Soup, Light Sodium, 1.9-Ounce Cups (Pack of 6)

I had previously ordered and enjoyed the Split Pea with Barley by Dr. McD. I ordered this one this time because I saw it was lighter in sodium.
It cooked up fine in two minutes of steeping in the hot water. It had a nice texture and flavor, but it was thinner than the Split Pea with Barley, which is why I liked the other one better.
This cup of soup has 200 calories , 1 gram of fat, 13 grams of protein, 9 grams of fiber, and 360 mg of sodium. It boasts 30% of recommended daily value of Vit A and 12% of iron. The entire cup is considered one serving (which I specify as some McD cup products specify two servings per container.) For those who have issues with gluten, this has NO GLUTEN.
For those who want a more healthful option in convenience foods/instant soups, this is a nice choice. Solid pea flavor, easy to fix, no animal products. A nice little soup. (But I do give a higher thumbs up to the one with barley).

This soup has a decent flavor, of split peas and potatoes. It is however, a bit too salty for me, but I'm not a fan of salt anyways. The texture is the worst part, and can almost be described as 'gelatinous'. The soup is thickened with a bit too much Potato and corn Starch. I like thick soups, but prefer if it isn't goopy.
The best part of this soup is the nutrition. It contains a whopping 14g of protein per box! And only 200 calories (100 per serving)!! Because of this alone, it is my favorite lunch at work, and can last me until dinner without being high in calories. I will continue purchasing this.
