Progresso soups are on sale this week, five cans/$4.
I bought this:
http://www.progresso.com/products/so...-and-wild-rice
And this:
http://www.progresso.com/products/so...cken-wild-rice
Also got Rich & Hearty Chicken Pot Pie, Rich & Hearty Vegetable Pot
Roast, and Rich & Hearty New England Clam Chowder. The regular price
is more than $2 per can so I'll only buy some on sale... they're not
bad but are a bit bland, needs s n'p, and they're too heavy handed on
the potatoes... the potatoes are large flat rectangles (they look like
old fashioned toilet tiles, not very appetizing) and I don't really
care for their texture so I save calories by tossing them out for the
critters. They are fairly low calorie and with their pop top lid they
are handy when I get the munchies around mid afternoon, no cooking,
just nuke. Without the potatoes there's a bit less than two cups per
can and less than 100 calories per cup. I can have my own homemade
soup but those are all frozen in one quart containers, too much for
one and I'd need to defrost them. I hadn't bought any canned soups
for many years, not until I tried the Progresso, but I'd only buy it
on sale, they are not worth the regular $2.29 price, then I'd rather a
packet of ramen, doctored with a handful of frozen mixed vegetables
and/or any LOs I find in the fridge.
