Progresso Traditional Soup, Chicken Noodle, 19-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've made homemade chicken soup, starting from scratch, from the creature that scratches and pecks and smells not-good, that odious ex-dinosaur, a live chicken. They are a pain in the thing that needs fiber bars FiberPlus Antioxidant Bars, Dark Chocolate Almond, 5-Count Bars (Pack of 12), and now I prefer this delicious alternative. This tasty Progresso soup is great, especially if you lack time to boil a chicken. Simply add a dash of thyme and rosemary to achieve a homemade flavor. But beware, the cans may implode on shipment, due to the cheaper style of thin metal that dents more easily, and pull-tops that may pop open. You just don't want your soup to arrive battered, dented, opened, and soggy due to poor can design and the normal bumps of shipment/transport, you want to eat it. Enjoy.

Progresso World Recipes Soup, Tortilla y Pollo (Chicken Tortilla), 18.5-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As someone who eats soup almost every night during the fall and winter, I was pleased to see our local grocer carrying several of the new Progresso World Recipes Soup. Unfortunately, the two varieties I have tried have been a real disappointment. Like the Black Bean Jalapenos, the Tortilla y Pollo's seasoning is heavy on the chili powder and not much else. Although a bit milder than the Black Bean Jalapenos, the Tortilla soup's broth is really little different in taste or consistency.
There is little in the way of meat or vegetables in this particular soup which caused me to rate the product as deserving only two stars. The can I opened had about six pieces of chicken, each measuring about 3/4" X 1/4" X 1/4"; a handful of black beans, a few corn kernals, and a piece or two of pepper. I found this soup to be a significant departure from Progresso's usual quality ingredients and flavor combinations.
In producing this soup, Progresso has committed a common error - assuming the flavors of Mexico and Tex-Mex foods are limited to chili powder; in the case of the Tortilla soup, there were not even pieces of jalapeno pepper thrown in to lend "authenticity" to the product. I suggest Progresso review "Los Barrios Family Cookbook: Tex-Mex Recipes from the Heart of San Antonio" by Diana Barrios Trevino for the true flavors of Tex-Mex cooking. If attempting to produce a soup which reflects only Mexico's flavors, then Rick Bayless' "Authentic Mexican: 20th Anniversary Edition: Regional Cooking from the Heart of Mexico" would be an excellent resource for Progresso to use.
If you are looking for a soup that combines interesting layers of flavor and multiple ingredients, you would do well to look elsewhere. This soup reflects neither the flavors of Tex-Mex cooking or Mexican cooking. If Progresso's other World Recipes Soups are as disappointing as the two I have already sampled, I may be changing my brand loyalty when it comes to soup.
