5/8/16 - Tomato Florentine with Italian Sausage - Mafalda Pasta in Tomato Broth with Italian Sausage, Carrots and Spinach.

The Sausage is akin to that which is used on Frozen Pizza but of the canned variety and that is not a bad thing so far as this hearty and satisfying Soup goes.

9/3/16 - Creamy Alfredo with Penne & Chicken - I was really in the mood for Chicken Broth tonight but figured I would tread unknown territory and sometimes Blog imitates life so here goes.

Right off I tasted a bit of Basil or Oregano but none are listed on the label and there are green bits in it, I hope this hasn't gone south in the freshness department. Very Thick & Creamy Alfredo Broth, no surprise as glancing at the Ingredients I see Sour Cream, Parmesan Cheese, Flour and Starch contained, Noodles could be more Al Dente but what do you expect from something that has been sitting in a can for lord knows how long. For a Creamy Soup I was not so much in the mood for this is Delicious.

Would be good with Croutons which I do have on hand but why ruin it.

10/15/15 - Minestrone - Very Rich and Delectable. Broth is Thick and a good amount of Spinach, Progresso is an example of Exemplary Canned Craftsmanship.

I knew this would be would be a Great one . Filled with Penne, String Beans, Potatoes, with Carrots and Peas.

10/25/15 - Savory Beef Barley Vegetable - This was akin to Campbell's Soup Beef Vegetable but one hundred times better because it is Progresso. 

My personal opinion but come on, gimme a break here.

Carrots, Tomatoes, Barley and,... Well Beef in a Savory Broth from a can. A Definite Winner.

10/27/15 - Vegetable (light) - OK as this being a "light" brand I am not excepting much but it certainly looks good. Rotini, String Beans, Carrots, Celery, Tomato perhaps Onions and Corn.

How can one go wrong.

OK not as Salty but still Great.

10/28/15 - Hearty Penne in Chicken Broth (Vegetable Classics) - Penne, Carrots, Celery & Parsley in Chicken Broth but it being a Vegetable Classic I must add Grated Cheese. Too much Penne but heck it's called "Hearty Penne".

10/29/15 - Lentil with Roasted Vegetables (Vegetable Classics) - Hearty and Rich in Lentil's but of course I shall add some Grated Cheese (rule being first few spoonfuls are without Cheese or any additive to give a true review). 

Packed with Zucchini, Squash, Carrots, Celery, Modified Food Starch and well,.. Lentils.  Cannot wait to get to that Dollop of Grated Pecorino Romano unless it disintegrates as I type this.

Nope, Got It.

Needs a tad of Salt, I can remedy that.

12/17/14 - Chickarina - Possibly one of Progresso's top sellers because I don't think any of the major canned Soup companies produce an item quite like this.

Meatballs, Chicken, Celery, Carrots and Pasta in a Chicken Broth. I found there to be too much Pasta in my serving but still a great one and of course don't forget the Grated Cheese of which like Italian Wedding Soup reviewed below Romano Cheese is amongst the ingredients listed.

1/3/15 - Italian Wedding Soup - This Looks Fantastic with Meatballs, Spinach, Carrots and Tubetinni in Chicken Broth. Very similar to Chickarina but I'm going have to give this one the edge, less Noodles but sometimes I don't want so many Noodles and the Spinach really helps. Now I will add some Grated Parmesan, Wedding Soup contains Romano Cheese but you can never have too much can you.

1/5/15 - "Light" Zesty Southwestern Style Vegetable - Big Chunks of Carrots and Red Peppers and of course the Corn is always a nice touch, the Broth is slightly Zesty but could use more Zing in my book. The Black Beans and Celery also give it a nice touch but kind of Bland and I was in the mood for a Meatless, Noodless Soup. The Ingredients also read Tomatoes and Green Sweet Peppers.

Well it is part of the "Light" line, not Bad but not Great.

PROGRESSO SOUP 2013 ENTRY

LINGUINI

Now This IS A Great Meal, The Repleted Liguini In Clam Sauce. I used Progresso Canned Sauce here but it was Totally Great, One Can to about a half a pound of Pasta for my likes.

The Handsome Can.

Yes, There was leftover Sauce. Red Clam Pizza Muffins, Ummmm Yeah.

2/19/13 - Chicken Tortilla - Tender Chicken with Corn and Beans in a red broth with veggie overtones. the Tortilla in the title eludes me and would go fine with this recipe but this is so Good that there is no time to think of a side dish/compliment.

Perfect combination of Chicken Broth versus Bean Flavor versus Vegetable Flavor versus Herbs and Spices Flavor has made this my latest Favorite Progresso Soup (2013) after being wowed by my previous Favorite Progresso soup the Chicken Sausage Gumbo (2010/2011/2012).

2/19/13 - Manhattan Clam Chowder - Substantial Clam niblets with Carrots, Celery and Potatoes in a thinnish (but thick enough) Tomato based Broth with Fishy Overtones. I made the mistake of eating this after the prior entry (Chicken Tortilla) so my excitement was allayed.

2/26/13 - Chicken & Sausage Gumbo - This is the one that started whatever kind of soup rennaissance I had a few years back and is still very much a favorite. Andouille Sausage discs with Tender Chicken cubes in a spicy broth ( but not so spicy that adding a little Hot sauce is Not out of the question) with Celery, Okra, Peppers and Rice (of the canned kind) and a bunch of Spices. Slight oily aftertaste due to the Sausage inclusion and the spiciest of the Progresso Soup Line I have tried thus far, Outstanding for a canned Gumbo soup.

3/27/13 - Steak & Homestyle Noodles - I have been in a Noodly mood for sometime knowing that this was in my Soup collection and finally tonight gave it a sample. Technically Egg Noodles in Beef Broth with Celery, Carrots and Cubed Beef this is one of the heartier Soups due to the density of the Noodle.

8/28/13 - French Onion - A Brothy Soup and while this is based in Beef Broth there is enough Onion taste that if you told me it was Onion Broth I would believe you.

11/13/13 - Steak Burger (& Country Vegetables) -  Nice Veggie Selection comprising Potatoes, Carrots, Peas, String Beans in a Beef Broth with mini-Steak Burgers. Very Tasty and the Baby Burgers are good yet exactly what you would expect from a can.

1/4/14 - Hearty Chicken Pot Pie Style - First off the Broth is truly a Soup, could have been thicker to my liking but the can is marked Soup not Bisque, Stew or Chowder. The second thing I noticed was the winning addition of Corn into the mix giving it an edge. Not as appealing to me as the idea once was I am still glad I finally got to sample a can.

3/22/14 - Savory Chicken & Wild Rice (Heart Healthy line) - Aside from being a very pretty Soup in person this is also very Delicious and quite Hearty. Carrots, Tomato, Cubes of White Meat Chicken and plenty of Wild Rice make this one a real pleasure.

4/16/14 - Southwest Style Black Bean &Vegetable (Heart Healthy line) - This is going to be impossible not to have with some Tortilla Chips. I can Taste some Delicious Cilantro here, Corn, Tomatoes, Peppers and of course Black Beans make this a winner. as predicted, Excellent with Tortilla Chips.
