Works.  All looks like either soup or goop.  Still tasty though.  Perfect for bachelors!

First of all I am giving this 5 stars because it is a pretty good tasting soup, but this soup is not for vegans. Some of you commented that this was vegan, but it is not. Here are the ingredients, taken from progresso.com: Water, Potatoes, Tomato Puree (water, tomato paste), Tomatoes, Carrots, Celery, Corn, Dark Red Kidney Beans, Green Beans, Onions. Contains less than 2% of: Modified Food Starch, Sugar, Celery Juice Concentrate, Sea Salt, Potassium Chloride, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, Dextrose, Corn Protein (hydrolyzed), Salt, Citric Acid, Natural Flavor, Yeast Extract, Dried Parsley, Spice, Beet Powder (color), Calcium Chloride, Carrot Juice Concentrate, Onion Juice, Bell Pepper Juice Concentrate, Sodium Phosphate, Corn Syrup, Egg Yolk Powder, Soy Lecithin, Caramel Color, Milk. Freshness Preserved by Potassium Sorbate.

Progresso makes no claim that this soup is vegan. Amazon should have provided the list of ingredients, but they didn't. So, if you're vegetarian or eat meat, you're fine. If you're vegan, like me (since August 3, 2012), look elsewhere! It's too bad that Progresso insists on adding eggs and dairy to their vegetable soups. My favorite was the low sodium Minestrone, but it also has egg and dairy products.

It's Campbells chicken noodle soup, not much to say. I keep it in stock for when I get a cold as it's pretty much guaranteed to speed up the recovery process.

The all-spice inclusion doesn't fit in with the other peppercorns. It's somewhat akin to a person putting mustard on their ice cream.

This morning I had a can of Amy's Organic Lentil Soup (light in sodium). I might add that I eat a lot of non-traditional breakfasts. To add a bit of heft, I had a couple sticks of beef jerky. Coffee and a small bowl of melon pieces filled out the bill. It was good and as I'm writing this it's after 2:00PM and I'm not the least bit hungry. The soup was light and tasty but I found it a bit bland. That's OK. Most canned soups are bland and then, to freshen it up a bit, salt is added. This one had reduced salt and I approve. It also had a whopping 50% of my daily fiber needs and was very low in sugar and fat. Nice soup.

I bought this product because in the picture it looked like hearty chunks of freeze dried vegetables for soup. They cost more per pound than "Just Veggies" which I use often for soups.  I thought this chunkier version might be a nice variation for a special treat.

It arrived in a mylar bag, and when I opened it I was surprised to see that the vegetables are actually very small dices and pieces.  None of them are larger than a quarter inch square, and most are smaller than that.  I can't imagine using them alone for vegetable soup.  But on the positive side, when the bag was opened the fragrance was enticing.  I am thinking of other uses for them now instead of soup. Maybe in a dip, or to create a flavor base in sauces or stock.

They rehydrate quickly in boiling water and do not "plump up".  They taste raw at this point.

Update January 2014:  I have found many uses for this flavorful mix.  I use it (rehydrated) in dips, add to provide a flavor boost to stocks, and to make crockpot meals heartier.  I add it to meatloaf mix.  The main difference between this and "Just Veggies" is that "Just Veggies" are freeze dried and can be snacked on straight from the package, or tossed in at the end of cooking.  This product needs to be rehydrated.  Tiny piece, big flavor. I keep the opened package in an airtight container to preserve that flavor.

I was drawn to this product because the picture made it seem really delicious. Unfortunately, the picture looked better than it actually tasted. The broth was so-so, nothing umami about it. The noodles weren't chewy either. You're better off buying cheaper instant ramen than this.

I have one recipe so far except for soup, a fine mushroom dish. Good. It's an umami, a glutamate. But not monosodium!

I really did not enjoy this soup. It tasted like dog food to me. The broth was not rich. The only redeeming quality might be the noodles. I usually love Annie's products but this one needs some serious improvements! Very onion heavy.

I'm a huge fan of Amy's products and was excited to try Amy's Organic Fire Roasted Southwest Vegetable Soup. Like most of the Amy's line, the manufacturer does not skimp on the important ingredients.  This soup is chock full of vegetables. It is thick and has a nice texture and vegetable diversity. While the soup is heavy on vegetables and lighter on broth, the broth that is in the soup is somewhat oily. (This tends to be an issue with many Amy's soups save their chili options and a couple of pureed vegetable options).

So why the three stars?  It comes down to personal preference.  My problem with the soup is attributable to one ingredient and that is the chipotle pepper. Chipotle pepper can add a smokey component to foods and it was definitely present with the Fire Roasted Southwest Vegetable.  I had hoped that the chipotle essence would be subdued given its low spot on the ingredient list, but it wasn't.

This is a filling soup and when paired with a slice of crusty bread, you have a meal.  Adding some brown rice would yield an even more filling soup for the more hearty appetite.  I did not find the soup to be hot but for reference I eat a lot of spicy Indian curries.

This is a vegan product.

Ingredients: Filtered water, organic tomatoes, organic roasted potatoes, organic fire roasted corn, organic black beans, organic fire roasted onions, organic carrots, organic fire roasted bell peppers, organic celery, organic green chilies, organic extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, chipotle peppers, spices, organic black pepper, organic onions, organic balsamic vinegar.

I purchase Amy's Kitchen soups at my local co-op for about 2.50 a can.  If your store does not carry this and you only want to try one can, consider iherb.com.  You can use my code LEK375 for a discount.

Very happy making. I cook beans over night, add brown rice and cook some more, than add a can of Campbells Chunky Chicken Noodle and a can of chopped Green Chilies... and it's Heaven! If you like green chili stew, this is a pretty good approximation.

I just wish Campbells didn't use GMOs in its soups. If you've watched any of the videos on glyphosate and GMOs, you are likely as keen as I am to avoid them... I suspect fewer people know about the link between glyphosate and an increased risk of autism from vaccines... I don't think we're allowed to include links in our reviews, or I'd put one here to a researcher's work on the subject.

I find it excellent to mix and match like using other Amazon prime pantry items one of which is beef broth. Instead of water I use that or coconut milk  But even if you just use water this is an excellent quick easy hearty soup

There are easy soup recipes in here. Need more variety though.

Very disappointed in this soup. It was watery and there was very little meat in it. It seemed to have more carrots than anything in it, potatoes were the second most plentiful ingredients but I wouldn't say there was a lot of anything in it.

Extremely greasy - you can taste clumps of solid butter even after reheating. The clumps mean the soup isn't think, plus it has an awful sweet taste.

The soup is easy to prepare, just add hot water in a small cup. My favorite is the corn one but the potato and onion flavors are not bad. I have several packages that I keep in my drawer at work.

Without making a big deal about it, open a can and separate the broth and filler mushrooms and watch the little meat and potatoes left. I know companies are about money first before consumers regardless of their PC talk and feel-good marketing, but this is ridiculous. I feel like they somehow have to get rid of those gross mushrooms, so they dump them in the soup, occupying weight that could be occupied by meat and potatoes.
