We could talk, or not talk, for hours, and still find things to not talk about.  If you get hungry, eat something! If you get tired, pull over!

Very filling and nicely flavored soup.  And, there were a good amiunt of meat pieces along with the vegetables.

When I get a little hungry in the evening (especially on a cool evening), and I want something to fill me up (but not to fill me OUT!), I love this Spring Vegetable soup.  It keeps me satisfied for the rest of the evening (so I don't get the munchies), but at very few calories, compared with a health bar or mixed nuts.

One of my very favorite soups - excellent taste, not so salty or sharp as others I have tried.  I keep this on hand and it makes for a great lunch item on a cold day.

I have loved tomatoes and tomato soup since I was little.  My mom would hand me a can of Campbell's and send me off to walk to the babysitter, to eat before I went to kindergarten.  I always ate the whole can's worth.

Now I am a nearly-retired engineer, working in an office many miles from home.  My wife of 34 years sends me off with things for my lunch.  When there isn't Lipton Tomato Cup-A-Soup in the bag, I reach into my bottom file drawer and pull one out of my own stash. The coffee machine makes the hot water for mixing it on the spot, and I love it as much as I did in 1957.

It's not a fine restaurant, it's my desk.  It's not gourmet soup in a beautiful china bowl, it's Cup-A-Soup in my coffee cup.  But it's tomato.

These larger cans (18.8 oz) are a perfect size for our needs. Each can, supplemented with a nice pickle, light salad (my favorite) or some pickled beats makes a very nice meal for one person. Our grandson who lives with us works odd hours and is not always here during meal times. He is not a fan of fast foods (thank goodness) and prefers these chunky soups to a fast food burger.

This Baked potato with steak and cheese is one of our favorites. I have, other than the old Campbell's tomato soup), never been a big fan of canned soups but I have to tell you that I do enjoy this one and several others in this current line. Now a person should not confuse these soups with health foods...goodness no. The sodium alone will or should cause you to stop and watch what you eat for the rest of the day. But a can of this stuff now and then is fine by me. Each individual needs to make up their own mind as to what they eat. Probably the one thing I hate more than an unhealthy diet are the food police yammering in my ear not to eat this or drink that. Hey, I like this stuff and at my age am quite able to make up my own mind.

Anyway, enough of that rant. We all enjoy the flavor of this particular soup and the only slight objection we might have to it is that it is slightly light on the meat. On the other hand, we have been eating less and less meat over the past few years so this does not bother us all that much...although it may bother some. Just be aware that the potato is the dominate ingredient in this one.

If you are an Amazon Prime member, the price here breaks down to about 1.88 per can which is very competitive to that which we pay at the local store. I can tell you that if you like this stuff you most certainly will use all twelve cans and there will be no waste here...and hey, you don't like it, there is always the local food pantry...something we should all be supporting on a regular basis.

All in all this is good soup; a good meal and meets our needs perfectly.

I LIKE ADDING THIS TO A POT OF HOME MADE SOUP. I LIKE HAVING IT AS A COZY BEDTIME SNACK WITH CRACKERS, BUT I DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF LIQUID TO LESSEN THE POTASSIUM.

Full disclosure: I love soup.  So my review is inherently biased.  But you want this cookbook.  These recipes are easy, most of them are delicious, relatively healthy and a good mix of omnivore and vegetarian recipes.  I wish every soup had its own picture but the pictures that are there are very well-done.  There are no weird, hard-to-find ingredients and no over the top techniques best left to the pros or serious amateurs.  In fact, if you are looking for a cooking challenge, this book will bore you.  If i had time to make my own stock I could chastise her for her technique for adding bouillon cubes to "home-made" stock but I don't, so I won't.  I use store-bought stock and the soups are still delicious.  There are recipes in the back for sandwiches that look and sound really good but I have had so much fun making soup that I haven't done any of those.
  The very first soup I made was a lima bean soup.  I hate lima beans but I loved that soup.  In retrospect, I'm not sure why I chose that as my first recipe out of this book but I'm glad I did as it has made me open to trying recipes I wouldn't normally bother with.  The book is well organized starting with various stock recipes (none of which I have made), then chicken soups, tomato soups, chowders, and then by season.  The summer soups are mostly cold fruit soups- not my thing- and I haven't made any.  The ones I made that I will make again and again:  1.  Eggplant parmesan soup - it's worth buying this book just for this recipe it's that good.  2.  Black bean and sausage- outstanding.  3.  Mulligatawny- so, so very good.  Now I know why Seinfeld made an episode just about this soup.
  I love this book and use it once a week when the weather is getting cooler.  There's no attitude in this book.  Some authors make you feel like a failure for not making stock or implying that soup made without it isn't even worth making.  This author doesn't.  No special equipment is necessary but you will likely need a new soup pot.  These recipes make a lot of soup.  Most are for twelve servings so get a big pot or halve the recipe.  An immersion blender comes in handy but a regular blender will suffice.  I used this book as an excuse to get an immersion blender and it's now my favorite kitchen gadget of all.  I need to write a review of that too.  Other than that, buy this book and make some soup!

Lots of great soup ideas here, some simple and some sophisticated, for every taste. I really like the Butternut Squash Soup. Yummy, just right for the cold weather!

I like to make vegetable soup with couscous for lunch and this fills the bill for the vegetables. 1/4 c each of dried veggies and couscous in chicken broth makes a nice warm lunch.

It puts some fun in the meal prep. We have been experimenting with different foods.

Having purchased this product twice, I am very pleased with this soup vegetable mix.

I really like this soup and it makes a great meal in and of itself. I have a case set up to arrive every six months, then if there is no fancy dinner available, then I have this. It is a great option. I will note; however, that it is soup and it is mostly dumplings: just 4 large pieces of chicken per can. But it frequently saves my day.

tastes great. In my opinion these are great soups and filling.
Gluten free too

Barley is one of my favorites and this was my first time ever trying hull-less. Yes, you do have to cook a little longer, but I like the texture and it makes soup more interesting.

I make soups up then freeze in one cup containers. One cup makes a nice lunch for me.
I have some of these containers that are 2 years old and still look good.
