In an effort to have more of my "go-to" base for building a quick winter soup, I sent for three 12packs of Amy's soup (2 for me and one for a friend). For one of them, I got a refund since the cans were dented to the point of leakage. Both of the other two deliveries, however, also had dented cans although to a lesser degree. I will be leery of ordering any multiple canned goods from Amazon in the future
Read More...Tastes great and love most of Amy's foods. This is my go-to soup to have with popcorn for dinner. Dont question my single-life eating habits...
Read More...This soup is not only high in Vitamin A and C but is great to have on hand for a quick lunch or dinner, either alone with supplemented with bread or crackers and a salad. It is also completely gluten-free. Imagine this: you're hungry, don't have anything on hand, don't want to out and buy groceries. With a 12 pack of this on hand (currently averaging $2.50 a can but a deal because it is so filling), you simply need to open the can, heat it and add whatever you want to offset the low sodium - unless you are on a low-sodium diet. I'm NOT on a low-sodium diet and don't mind the lack of salt. However, if you want a stronger or saltier taste, you can add a bit of regular or garlic salt or salt substitute. I also prefer to add a dollop of sour cream or low-fat yogurt and that makes a HUGE difference. With some crackers, I'm set for lunch or even dinner. Look below for the nutritional content and other benefits but don't overlook those impressive amounts of Vitamin A and C. Sure, you'll need more for your daily requirements but this doesn't have that horrible preservative taste of other canned soups and my whole family loves it. I sometimes add a bit of chicken or vegetable broth and add some lightly sauteed onions or celery. But none of that is necessary. Good to have on hand for power outages, blizzards or times when you need food and the stove won't work. It can be eaten cold in a pinch. Other pros: 1. No trans fats, MSG or preservatives. NO GMOS, no bio-engineered ingredients. 2. Tastes a bit bland by itself (low sodium) but add some pepper, a bit of salt and a dollop of sour cream and yogurt and it is elevated to a far tastier soup. 3. Great to have on hand for emergencies or when you're rushed for time and need a quick meal. Perhaps hearty eaters would want more but I find a can to be totally satisfying and hearty enough to keep me full till dinner or eve as a dinner entree. 4. My whole family likes it but they do prefer salt. So take a chance on this and see if your family likes it. If they do, having this on hand could be a major time saver and you'll know they aren't getting trans fats. 5. Relatively high vitamin content compared to other commercial soups. Nutritional content (daily values): Vitamin A- 45 percent, Vitamin C - 20 percent, Calcium - 6%, Iron - 15%, Fat - only 4 grams (no trans fat and only .5% of saturated fat), no cholesterol, 340 mg sodium, 24 grams of carbs, dietary fiber 32%, protein - 7 grams, sugars - 5 grams. We find that if we have this soup before a larger meal we don't feel inclined to eat as much. If you are trying to lose weight, this is a plus. Each can is around 360 calories unless you want to stretch this to 2 servings. I don't prefer to do that but if you have toddlers or very young children, half a can should be plenty. I'm sold on this wonderful soup
Read More...I ordered this soup for my aunt after reading the ingredients, as she is on a low sodium diet due to blood pressure issues. When the soup arrived, the ingredient list was different than advertised and I was told I could not return it. $56.00 for the case. I contacted the seller who said I couldn't return it. Beware...you won't get the product as advertised
Read More...I had tried Amy's Low Salt Lentil Soup and loved it. When I saw this version with added vegetables, I placed an order. Usually, I scan the ingredient list, but didn't do so on this purchase. Unfortunately, the recipe contains garlic, which is not one of my favorite seasonings. The soup itself is great and maybe I'm just overly sensitive, but the garlic flavor seems pronounced. I'll be sticking with the plain lentil option. Other reviewers mentioned receiving cans which were damaged or dented. I've not had this problem with my orders - just an FYI
Read More...It was a cold winter, so we stocked up on all kinds of soup. Out of the six different varieties tested, this was by far the best. (And don't bother with the low-salt version if you tried this one first.) So good that it can almost be eaten at room temperature, Amy's organic lentil is delicious by itself, with seemingly well selected beans and a good blend of spices. I admit to dumping in some of my favorite Snyders corn chips now and then, and this soup isn't a diet food, especially if you are watching salt (this is a highly individualistic health issue, according to the latest research I've read), but it's hard to imagine a person disliking this soup -- unless there is a need to sink your teeth into animal flesh. Taste - five stars. Value with Amazon Prime - four stars
Read More...I enjoy the Amy's soup and give it 5 stars. I've ordered it from Amazon about 7 times now and most of the time I get many dented cans. You are probably aware that dented can pose a very bad health issue. When I told Amazon about this they were great and replaced the damaged items. It has grown tiring however and I will no longer order the soup. This is really too bad because I have very high regards for Amazon and the soup. I wish they could get their warehouse to handle this product properly
Read More...I did not do my homework on this one. This item is $1.30 at Costco unreal that I bought so much on this order feels like I was ripped off but it was my fault
Read More...Really great soup. This is such a convenient and healthy meal! I'll sometimes grab one for a quick breakfast, and it does a solid job. A light meal, a fortifying snack--this soup is just perfect. Unfortunately, there was a problem with cans arriving dented, but this problem now seems to have been addressed. As of Sept 30, 2017, the last two 12-packs arrived with perfect cans--no dents at all
Read More...This is my favorite Amy's soup. So many of her soups can be overly spicy, but not this one. I like to be able to enjoy the taste of the lentils and the vegetables. I don't notice that it is a low salt soup. It's organic and vegan friendly so I'm a happy camper when I eat this satisfying soup. I must tell you though that I have a ton of overactive taste buds so what I think is spicy other people think is not even close to being spicy. Try it for yourself. For those of you who like a kick to your soup, just add it in as you like. To me this is perfect
