Progresso Light and 100 Calorie Soups Review
“With surprisingly hearty ingredients like pasta, beans, corn and rice, and flavor-packed vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and peppers, Progresso Light and 100 Calorie Soups offer varieties with a good source of fiber and a full serving of vegetables. Satisfying your taste buds, Progresso Light and 100 Calories Soups can help curb your hunger, making it easier for you to stick to your weight management plan.”
Although most people start their resolutions at the beginning of a new year, I started mine last summer. One of those resolutions was to start eating better. One of the things that I discovered that helped me control my weight, was soup. I’ve never been a big fan of it to tell the truth. Of course I love tomato soup and a few others but beyond that I’ve never really been interested. When I happened to notice Progresso’s Hearty Tomato I had to try it. Of course I loved it. It was nothing like the traditional tomato soup I had been eating. It was more of a grown up soup. Well, that one little discovery put me on the path to making my own homemade soups.
Then it was just recently that I realized I had to stop wasting food. My son and I are the only ones eating dinner together throughout the week so at times I would make a batch of soup, get sidetracked, forget to freeze it and eventually it would go to waste. Not to mention the lack of space in my freezer. I decided making soup is definitely something I can only do once in a while. Not long after I was asked to try out the new Progresso Light and 100 calorie soups. I was hopeful and glad that I was.
One of the soups I received was Zesty Southwestern-Style Vegetable. Oh my gosh, when I opened up the can I swear it smelled like I was at a Mexican restaurant. lol. It smelled and tasted absolutely delicious. The best thing of all though was that it only has 60 calories per serving! You would never guess either.
And so it went like that.. I have slowly been going through each can of soup and I have yet to find one that I don’t like. I really am excited about the fact that they’re so low calorie and especially about the fact that some also have low sodium.
You have to try these soups. If you need some motivation, you can find a $1 off 3 coupon at www.Progresso.com/SouperYou But hurry because it’ll only be there until March 15th.
Disclaimer: Progresso provided me with several cans of soup, a mug, jump rope, information, and the gift pack for giveaway through MyBlogSpark. My review is my opinion only and was not influenced in any way.
