I tried 2 of these soups because they were on sale at Fred Meyers the other day. I paid $2.50 for each 16 ounce container.
The Sweet Red Pepper has as its first ingredient tomato paste, and if not the second, very high up on the list is food starch. It was barely palatable
The second soup, the Butternut Squash, was easily the worst butternut squash soup I have ever eaten.
Both soups reeked of food starch and fillers.
I went back to Pacific Organic soups, which I just bought today at the same store for $2.99 for a 32 ounce container.
If you don’t believe me, look up Pacific Organic soups on the web and look at their ingredient list. Then try to find the same for the V8 soups. You won’t find their ingredient list for their soups on their site.
Then do a taste test of each one, and I think you’ll be surprised at how good real food can taste.
Btw, I don’t work for Pacific Organic, I just care about what goes into my body – it’s the only one I’ve got.

These soups are DELICIOUS! I am in love with them. They are 2/$5 at my grocery store. Wish they were cheaper but I still don’t mind shelling out the money because they are FABULOUS! Yum, yum, yum!

I tried the Tomato Herb. It was great with just a hint of red pepper. I was surprised at how thick it was. At only 80 calories per serving you cant go wrong. Im looking forward to more flavors.

Tried the Butternut Squash soup today. Its not too thin and definitely not watery in consistency and also has plenty of potato slivers throughout. Overall, its satisfying (I ate 2 servings), savory and very tasty and i’ll surely be buying V8 soups again (Publix had a 2/$5 sale !^_^). Bonus factors: The soups are low fat, ready to eat after less than 3.5 minutes in the microwave, don’t have the drenched-in-salt taste of your typical packaged soup, have a respectable amount of protein per box, and NO PRESERVATIVES! Vegans should be wary since even though the box reads “100% vegetarian”, this particular soup did have cream in the ingredient list…

Lol, i’m drinking the garden broccoli soup (cold) for lunch right now. I think it’s pretty tasty and fairly viable for a daily lunch regimen. My girl thinks they are too lumpy (small veggie chunks) but no worries there for me.

I dig them.

I tried the Garden Broccoli soup. I is absolutely the worst soup I have ever tasted.
