When the temperature drops, I crave soup. Since I don't always have time to whip up a pot of soup, I tend to keep cans of Amy's Soups on hand. I love that they're made solely of veggies, herbs, and spices. I've gotten a little sick of the flavors though, so I was psyched when I saw these new Campbell's V8 Soups. Each one-cup serving contains a full half-cup serving of vegetables, and this soup is made with no artificial flavors or preservatives. Sounds healthy, but what about the taste? To find out what I thought of the Golden Butternut Squash Soup read more.



A serving size is only one cup, and there are two servings per container. I thought most people would end up eating the entire container, so I included the nutritional info for both one- and two-cup servings. Even if you do end up eating both cups, it's only 280 calories, which isn't high at all. I loved the flavor; very mild, but sweet and herby. The texture was wonderfully thick and creamy, and you could see small chucks of potato and carrots. It felt very hearty for a prepackaged soup. The only problem is the sodium content. This soup tasted pleasantly salty because the entire box of soup contains 1,500 mg of sodium. That's pretty high considering your daily amount shouldn't exceed 2,300 mg a day. Well, I guess that's to be expected with prepackaged soups. Too bad because I was excited to try the other flavors: Sweet Red Pepper, Garden Broccoli, Tomato Herb, and Southwestern Corn. I guess I'll have to stick to the one-cup serving size recommended, and eat it with a big salad and some bread to make it a complete meal.
