A New Soup

I picked up a new soup at Kroger, Amy’s Hearty Organic Soups “Rustic Italian Vegetable”.  It’s loaded with all kinds of healthy stuff, like zucchini, kale, garbanzo beans and mushrooms; just to name a few.  This soup may be a little out of my league.  I’m more of a traditional vegetable soup kind of gal, but I’m trying to be more adventurous – in the name of research; for this blog.  So I will try the healthy soup with the kale, which I don’t like and the garbanzo beans which are just, kind of yucky.  I can do this!

I took it to work on Friday, for lunch.  Opening the pull top can, I immediately could see it was definitely a hearty soup. (Just like the can says.)  Much thicker than the Healthy Choice Country Vegetable soup.  I popped it in the microwave for two minutes.  It didn’t smell the greatest.  I scooped up a spoonful.  Hmmm…. ? I tried another.  What is…?? I couldn’t put my finger on it.  There was something that I was tasting.  It had kind of a dusty or dirt-like taste.  Could it be the kale?  Does kale taste like dirt? I ate a saltine before going in for more.  Another spoonful and then another.  I was hungry and kept scooping it up, kind of choking it down; following up with more saltines.  Lots. Of. Saltines.  I tried, I really did. I couldn’t do it.  I couldn’t eat anymore of it.  I dumped it out and ate a So Delicious yogurt.    

Soup and Schar saltines.
Pic not the greatest, I was at work and took a quick pic before eating.

I’m disappointed.  I was hoping this soup would be good.  I’m sure some of you will enjoy this soup.  It just didn’t work for me – at all.  I do have another of her vegetable soups that I will try.  I have to be honest, I’m not looking forward to it. I’ll bring extra yogurt.

Thanks for stopping!

  1. I wonder if your soup had turmeric in it, this spice tastes exactly like dirt should. It is supposed to be very good for you but yucky!!😋

    1. Wow Sally, I had no idea turmeric tasted like dirt. I’m going to have to look at s can the next time I’m in the store. Thanks for the heads up!
