My hubby is all about using the fiber supplements. You know, the kind you spoon into a glass of liquid and stir like a madman and chug it down.
Yumm....not!
I'd much rather get my fiber in something I eat as a regular part of my diet. Progresso has come out with a new line of "High Fiber" soups.
MyBlogSpark sent me a can of the Tuscany Chicken Variety of their new soup to try, along with a set of cobalt blue soup mugs and 2 nice shiny flatware soup spoons. Each item sporting a "Progresso" logo on it....see?
Today is a rainy damp Fall day, the perfect day for a hot soup lunch! So I gave the soup a try just a little while ago.
There are 4 new Progresso soups that have 28% of the recommended Daily Value of fiber per serving(7 grams) and have no added MSG or artificial flavors. The new flavors are Creamy Tomato Basil, Hearty Vegetable and Noodles, Homestyle Minestrone, and the flavor I received-Tuscany Chicken.
Doesn't that look yummy?
Progresso says in the info I received from My Blog Spark that these new soups are delicious. Well, I'll be the judge of that!lol
It's easy to see right away with the Tuscany Chicken soup, why this is a high fiber soup. It's loaded with white northern beans. As you all know by now, I am NOT a big bean fan, except for Boston baked beans. I'll eat them but I don't go out of my way to get them. The flavor of this soup is so nice that the beans didn't put me off at all. I smushed some of the beans up(as it's the eating a whole bean thing I don't care for) and that made the soup even better.....gave it a creamier texture.
I've been a fan of Progresso soups since my hubby's parents turned me on to them many years ago. Their Cream of Mushroom is the best! This Tuscany Chicken Soup could have stood to have a bit more chicken and some more chunks of vegetables in it but all in all, I would probably purchase this particular variety again. It had good flavor and it wasn't a salt lick like some soups.
If you are wanting to add more fiber to your diet, I'd recommend you give these new Progresso soups a try.
