I had a coupon for a free can of Progresso Vegetable Classics Soup so
yesterday I tried the Hearty Tomato, it was pretty good for a canned soup, a
thick tomato puree heavy with tomato chunks, a bit bland in the seasoning
department but easily fixed; I ground in some black pepper and grated in
some parm. I think it would make a very nice pasta sauce too, better than
any of the jarred versions I've tried. I would buy it to keep with the
staples, would work well with many dishes: rice, chicken, sausage n'
peppers, stews, etc.

Actually I had two coupons for free soup, sent when I called to complain
about their pea soup, that was disgusting; was very watery, contained lots
of partially cooked dried peas, and pretty flavorless. But their hearty
tomato soup is good... this is not a cream soup, I despise cream-of soups.
