Progresso Beef Pot Roast with Country Vegetables Soup, Rich and Hearty Canned Soup, Gluten Free, 18.5 oz (Pack of 12)

B.C.B. from Progresso “I DIG IT THE MOST!”
love love love the flavor of this stuff. don’t get me started about the hater’s. it’s the only flavor of soup i get from progresso, way to expensive in the brick and mortar. i found an excellent price from a vendor on this site and ordered 2 cases. at first it was going to be a couple months to receive delivery, but im a patient man and i was willing to wait. 1) to see if i’d truly ever receive the product, and 2) for the price: play the game!then i received notice of delivery in 2 weeks! now we’re talking. then the two cases came to my door! they were taped together, probably to guarantee that what happens to one case will surly happen to the other, s m a r t, lol. because guess what, three of the cans were pierced and leaking all over the two cases. there was such a mess i couldn’t tell where the culprit cans were in the mix until i got them inside ( and it smelled bad! it’s B.C.B. for goodness sake ) and washed them off and i could set aside the three cans in question. i was still to far in the happy zone that i received them at all. i figured this has to be simple and called up right away and asked CS to credit me the three cans and i’m good to go. mister Bot was super kind and issued that credit right away. with that all done i started dreaming of the times when i’ll grab a can from its reserved spot in the soup cabinet and begin to add fresh veggies, rice, fully cooked chicken, more bacon, fresh broccoli, basic spices, heat it all up on the stove then pour it in a real big FW bowl were i’ll put much more cheese, because cheese is life. cover it up so the cheese will melt and serve this inspired very hearty soup with avocado slices and sour cream and any cracker of your choosing…….……BAM…… mikedrop!!!!!!!!

It states 5 gm of sugar but is very sweet
I was distracted by the sweet taste of this soup to me. It wasn’t enough to make me turn it away, but I experimented with the bothersome sweetness. I added no salt, but I did try a bit with mustard, soy sauce, and Cajun Chef Hot sauce. I settled on soy(1tsp) and a bit of hot sauce(1/4 (tsp) plus Stayces chips. I will add this to my cold-day routine. Who eats 1 cup? I’ve never eaten less than a can. 220 calories? My subsequent trial will be a qtr cup of medium-grated cheddar cheese. It works wonders in the Cajun Chicken/Sausage gumbo, which has dramatically changed. Mostly.I added a slice of medium cheddar with some pepper and found the taste similar to TX’s. The next test will be with 1/3 cup of medium cheddar. Their soup is my favorite, but they have watered it to some extent, especially this soup and the Cajun Gumbo, where I put a loose half cup of grated fresh cheddar. It loses that other soup appearance. I generally have soup every day for a quick lunch.

Progresso Spicy Jambalaya is Delicious and has a Good Kick
This review is for “Progresso Spicy Jambalaya Soup With Sausage & Ham, 18.5 oz Can (Pack of 12)”, ASIN B095D9VF36.I find this soup absolutely delicious. It’s currently my favorite canned soup. A typical lunch for me is a can of this soup with sandwich and a Honeycrisp apple. I would say it’s more of a soup than a Jambalaya.I was extremely disappointed when this soup was discontinued at my local W**MART. I checked Amazon and found that the cost was on par with the W**MART price, so immediately ordered a case. The case arrived quickly, no cans were damaged, and every can was fresh and delicious. A few weeks later I came back to Amazon to buy another case only to find that the price had increased by about 60%. Yikes! I then searched all of my local options and eventually located the Spicy Jambalaya in one grocery store. I cleaned out the shelf (16 cans) and I haven’t quite finished these yet nor have I been back to see if the grocery store restocked them.Is the soup spicy hot?That’s always a difficult question for me to answer because I genuinely AM a chilihead. It certainly does have a kick, and it’s more than I would have expected from a canned soup sold in a grocery store. It’s enough that I don’t feel the need to add in some additional hot sauce. But is it “insanely hot”, “too hot”, “soup from hell”, etc? No way. If you think Tabasco, Sriracha, Cholula, Tapatio, etc. are hot then sure, this soup is too much for you. I’d say the heat level is about what I’d expect if someone were to take a non-spicy soup and add a good dose of their favorite Habanero-based or 6k-8K Scoville hot sauce. Think Scorned Woman, El Yucateo Red, Tabasco Habanero. It’s nowhere near the range of sauces containing pepper extract such as those produced by Blair’s or Dave’s.

Lacks in flavor, but great ingrediants.
I like the ingrediants, but it seriously lacks in flavor compared to the Progresso soups of old! I recall all their soups were the tastiest recipes back in the 80’s but I believe they sold out to a large corporation and the recipe was watered down over the years. I have to add a lot of extra seasoning to make it flavorful, otherwise it is very very bland. And that’s the gospel truth! I still buy this product often due to the quality ingredients.

Overpriced.
