Progresso Soup Prize Pack Review & Giveaway

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats to winner Jena!~~

Canned soup has been a great helper for busy moms who don't always have the time to prepare a meal from scratch. Canned soup is convenient, flavorful and versatile, but there are also health concerns regarding its high sodium, high fat, and use of harmful preservatives. In an effort to provide families with both convenience and healthy food choices, Progresso has introduced new and improved varieties of canned soups, which may add flavor to your daily diet while keeping your meals wholesome and delicious!

Progresso® New World Recipes™: Inspired by Mexican recipes and made with authentic Mexican ingredients and seasonings. The Progresso New World Recipes line includes four flavors: Chicken Tortilla, Meatball & Rice, Black Bean Jalapeno and Chicken & Vegetable.

Progresso Light: America’s #1 Light soup just got better, as all 13 existing Progresso Light varieties are now packed with bigger pieces of white meat chicken, more tender pieces of beef or added vegetables. Progresso Light New England Clam Chowder is the first creamy Light ready-to-serve soup that holds true to the Progresso Light name with just 1 Weight Watchers® POINTS® value per serving!

Progresso Reduced Sodium: With many shoppers concerned about high cholesterol, Progresso understands the importance of soluble fiber and reduced sodium diets. New Reduced Sodium Tomato Parmesan soup, along with 5 other Reduced Sodium soups, offers a delicious blend of flavors and carries the “May Help Lower Cholesterol” benefit.

Progresso High Fiber: With 9 out of 10 Americans not getting the recommended daily value of fiber, Progresso High Fiber line of soups are packed with 7 grams per serving, i.e. 28% of the recommended daily value of fiber per serving. The High Fiber line includes 5 great-tasting varieties, including Progresso brand’s first Chili Soup!

MyBlogSpark recently sent me a nice prize pack, which includes one can of Chicken Tortilla Progresso Soup and one can of Light New England Clam Chowder Progresso soup, a spoon rest, soup can rack, soup mug with matching spoon, and a Progresso can phone–-just like the ones in these funny Progresso Soup can commercials!

We sampled the Clam Chowder first and found it to be noticeably less rich or creamy than the traditional version. My husband and son seemed to like the Chicken Tortilla soup better, while I was fine with both. My son had great fun playing with the phone made from Progresso soup cans. It produces quite different sound effects than the ones we made with yogurt cups. I really love the soup can rack. It can hold a variety of containers--not just soup cans--and helps me keep the kitchen organized.

You may find more soup options and recipe ideas on the Progresso website. Be sure to watch their new ads and enter to win a makeover trip to NYC!
