Bear Creek Country Kitchens Vegetable Beef Soup Mix, 9.0 Ounce Bags (Pack of 6) Review

I am a huge fan of Beer Creek's Chicken Noodle Soup. The soup is delicious and I buy it by the case. I decided to try the Vegetable Beef. Bought a case and ended up not liking it at all. It just seems to have a horrible taste -no vegetable or beef flavor at all. So if you happen to try this one FIRST, don't use it as an example......it's just a matter of personal taste because the Chicken Noodle is a 10-star soup!!

Knorr Vegetable Soup Base, Dry, 29.18-Ounce Units (Pack of 2) Review

...virus and flu have been rampant here since the SPRING. The homefront grew tired of the old Chicken Noodle Soup standby. I needed something I could use to add fresh or frozen veggies and leftovers to make something quick and nutritious. This also is great for making soup from "almost" scratch. It's good as a veggie broth. It really comes in handy to cook rice instead of using salt for flavoring.
Although a good product the pricing makes a BIG difference,I got it for 26 bucks.
I only gave it 4 STARS due to it's high sodium content, it is a bit salty - 1 teaspoon = 41% of your DAILY salt intake. The two pack will hold me over for awhile.

This is an excellent all around seasoning product that I use a lot of. My only complaint is that I think the sodium content is a little high, therefore I make sure to use plenty of liquid with whatever I am adding this to so that it's not too salty. I wish Rapunzel offered this broth product in a jar with lower sodium. I use other Rapunzel products, they are always top-notch.

If you like a heavy tomato taste, you'll like this minestrone. It has a strong flavor, no fat, and average sodium for a packaged product (530 mg per serving). The directions call for adding water and tomato sauce. Next time I'll add the optional beef and more vegetables.

I really was shocked to see directions using 1/2 gallon of milk, and 1 1/2 gallons of water. Another instance of not enough information to help me know what I was buying. I thought there would be quantities for family use. At least the can will store what is not used. Let's see if I use 2 cups of milk and 6 cups of water how much of the mix do I use? Then there is a recipe on the can for tomato bisque soup that adds heavy cream to figure out... It is a good thing I like math.

Alessi Zuppa Toscana Tuscan White Bean Soup (Pack of 6) Review

I'm a cook's cook, typically loving the process of making meals from scratch. However, there are those inconvenient moments in my life or even times when I don't feel like cooking! Then, I pull out what I call my "dirty little secret." :) I LOVE this soup-- I amp it up with a healthy dose of EVOO and a generous amount of fresh grated parm reg. I top the whole deal off w/homemade sourdough croutons, roasted w/EVOO and parm. The whole deal takes 15 minutes and you have an amazingly tasty meal. Highly recommended! (I get ticked when I can't find it at the grocery store, which has been a lot lately. So, I just go ahead and order my sixer here)

Traditional. There is nothing quite as satisfying as a bowl of rich, hearty soup. Soups are eaten in almost every corner of the world and over the years, certain soups have become associated with particular countries. Italy is no exception with several regions boasting claim to some of the world's best soups. The White Bean Soups of Tuscany are unforgettable, white beans in a rich, thick broth laden with the taste of vegetables such as carrots, peas, zucchini, broccoli and garlic. The taste of this rustic yet elegant Tuscan classic will long be remembered. People today eat soup for different reasons than they did yester year. Once considered an inexpensive meal for the poor, soup has become popular among the health conscious consumers of today. There is a saying about soups in Southern Italy that translates to: Soup does seven things. It relieves your hunger, quenches your thirst, fills your stomach, cleans your teeth, makes you sleep, helps you digest and colors yours cheeks. Give Alessi Zuppa Toscana a try and let us know if the old saying might still prove to be right.

Lipton Cup-a-Soup, Spring Vegetable, 4-Count Pouches per Box (Pack of 12) Review

Lipton Cup-a-Soup, Spring Vegetable, 4-Count Pouches per Box (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are stocked in the snack room at work. I tried a few and thought they were pretty good, so I now have them at home for quick snacks. They taste about as good as canned soups, but calling them "soup" is a stretch. These are powdered mixes, so the soup is broth and noodles. I'm OK with that for a snack, but these would never be confused with stew or even real soup. ;-)
For me, the main attraction is convenience. They mix fairly well with hot water, but I use a small battery-powered blender to eliminate the clumps. This doesn't work so well for the ones with noodles.
My main concern is the sodium. I usually dilute it with at least 30% more water because it's just too salty. The calories are fairly low except for the tomato, which I found surprising. But I see that there's 13g of sugar in every packet. Wow!
Cal/Fat . . . Salt . . Sugar . . . Flavor
. 45/10 . . 470mg . . 01g . . Spring vegetable
. 45/10 . . 550mg . . 00g . . Chicken noodle with white meat
. 60/10 . . 600mg . . 02g . . Hearty chicken noodle
. 60/10 . . 630mg . . 04g . . Cream of chicken
. 90/00 . . 520mg . . 13g . . Tomato
(Sorry about the periods, but Amazon keeps compressing out multiple spaces.)
These are my favorites in order of preference:
1. Tomato: This is pretty good tomato soup -- guess it's the sugar. ;-) And it's too salty.
2. Chicken Noodle with White Meat: The "white meat" is just a memory (no chunks), but still, it's pretty good. Too salty.
3. Cream of Chicken: Not exactly "creamy", but slightly thicker than the chicken noodle. Too salty.
The price is amazing. At $16.64 for 12 4-packet boxes, it's 35¢/packet. I usually use two for an afternoon snack/meal that will last me a couple of hours for less than $1.00. These same boxes are available elsewhere for up to twice this price.
I like buying by the case, but I wish they had a variety pack. They have a shelf life of about a year.
The 4 rating is because of the sodium. I would give it a 5 if it were lower.

Surprised pleasantly by this product which I originally purchased locally here in AZ for $1.39 a package [got two for the trial]. Liked it so well that the Maggi search took me to Amazon. The product was available at a very reasonable price and no s/h charge for a case. Ordered two 48 package cases which arrived quickly and in excellent shape. We follow a Maggi Hot & Sour Soup technique of adding a well stirred egg slowly in to the soup [stir in one direction] about two minutes before it's finished. You'll soon ask the question - where did all those noodles come from? HA! Enjoy a treat...

Nile Spice Chicken Flavored Vegetable Soup, Low Fat, 1-Ounce Cups (Pack of 12) Review

Nile Spice Chicken Flavored Vegetable Soup, Low Fat, 1-Ounce Cups (Pack of 12)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Nile Spice Chicken Flavored Vegetable Soup, Low Fat, 1-Ounce Cups (Pack of 12) is a great tasting item for someone who needs something they can fix quickly at home or work.
TIP: Instructions recommend letting the soup sit for 5 minutes before eating. I suggest 10 is better if you want the noodles and veggies to be soft. Aldente'... go with 5 minutes. Expect that either way you'll be having HOT soup and the mealtime from the time you mix it until you finish eating it may be as long as 30 minutes.
I like the flavor of this soup and the spiral noodles are fun. For me the taste gets better with the addition of a sprinkle or two of seasoning salt. Served with your favorite crackers, this is a fast, tasty meal for lunch or snack.
NOTE: My second favorite flavor of the Nile Spice Soups is their Minestrone (strong tomato flavor) followed by the Lentil. All of the soups benefit from sitting a bit longer than the recommended time for best flavor development.
