PROGRESSO Light Creme Soup: Review and Giveaway, Ends 9/26

Craving rich and creamy flavors, but don’t want to splurge on calories? With two new creamy flavors, Progresso® Light soups are giving those who are managing their weight a new reason to celebrate! At 100 calories per serving, now you can indulge in warm, creamy soups like Light Creamy Potato with Bacon and Cheese* and Light Chicken Pot Pie Style* without feeling guilty. Packed with indulgent, satisfying flavor, these two new Light creamy soups are the perfect way to make thoughtful eating decisions without sacrificing incredible taste.

*These two new Progresso Light creamy soups are joining the lineup of more than 40 flavorful soups that are 100 calories or less per serving:

*These Weight Watchers® endorsed soups have 100 calories and a 2 PointsPlus® value per serving

*The Creamy Potato with Bacon & Cheese variety boasts pieces of potato with savory bacon and rich cheese flavor

*The Chicken Pot Pie Style variety exudes a home-style essence with cuts of white-meat chicken, hearty potatoes and classic vegetables

*Light Chicken Pot Pie Style: At least 33% fewer calories than regular ready-to-serve soups. Light Creamy Potato with Bacon and Cheese: 50% fewer calories than the leading potato, cheese, and bacon ready-to serve soup. See nutrition information for sodium content.


I received the Light Creamy Potato with Bacon Cheese and Light Chicken Pot Pie Style Soups. And I loved them both! There is nothing "light" about the taste, that's for sure! The soups are seasoned perfectly. It's lovely not to have to add salt to bring out the flavour. And the flavour is delicious! It's rich but not laden with fat and extra calories. Considering the fact that I'm trying to eat healthier and shed the weight I've regained -- these soups are the perfect addition to my weight-loss program.

Progresso Souper You! Ends 2/12/12

My family loves soup. Mike and I have soup one or two times per week -- lunch or dinner. For me, soup serves several purposes: it's a comfort food, it's fast and easy to prepare, and it's a useful tool in my weight loss program.

Yes, my weight loss program. You see, Progresso offers over 40 varieties of soup with less than 100 calories per serving. That's a number I can live with, happily! When you're trying to eat healthy and cut down on calories, the choices can often be limited. 40 choices? Oh, yes. Count me in!

My favourites? The Minestrone, Chicken with Wild Rice, and Beef, of course!

I've also been following NBC's The Biggest Loser for several years and take a lot of inspiration from the Contestants.   They have courage and heart and determination -- and I admire all of them for it. I only hope to have half of their spirit as I continue on my own weight loss journey.

Now that the ball has dropped and the confetti has settled, it´s time to consider how you will stick to your resolution for the New Year and maintain your weight management plan, without sacrificing on variety or the taste of foods you love. Thanks to Progresso®, you can have your soup and eat it too!

With 40 delicious soups with 100 calories or less per serving, Progresso Soup has a variety of offerings that help you beat diet boredom and satisfy your taste cravings, while helping you stick to your weight management calorie goals. Progresso soups are packed with hearty ingredients like pasta, beans, rice, meat and vegetables that suit your taste buds and make you feel good about including it in your meal choices.

*This year, the Souper You® Contest will provide three lucky winners with an ultimate makeover experience in Hollywood; this includes a trip for 2 to Los Angeles, California where the winner will receive a head-to-toe makeover including hair and makeup, guided shopping spree with a $1,000 fashion retailer gift card, $1,000 spending money and 2 tickets to this season´s live finale of NBC´s The Biggest Loser.

*Progresso is asking fans to visit http://www.souperyou.com/ and submit their photo with a brief essay about why they love Progresso soups and why they deserve a makeover, by no later than February 22nd.

*Fans can check back on March 12th for the announcement of the top ten finalists, and to vote for their favorite finalist until March 25th.

Progresso Soup Giveaway -- CONTEST CLOSED

In late December, I was offered to participate in a Review / Giveaway from Progresso Soups, sponsored by the MyBlogSpark Program.

I was absolutely delighted and soon received a large package of 15 cans of the wonderful Progresso LIGHT line of soups, a large, sturdy blue Progresso soup crock, and a digital jump rope!

The soups have been just marvelous! Not only do they warm you against the extreme cold we've been having this winter, but they are very lo-calorie and have helped me maintain my weight through these long days stuck inside the house.

My favourites, by far, are the Italian-Style Meatball with Penne, French Onion, and Southwestern-style Vegetable. Yummy!

Progresso offers so many varieties: High Fiber, Light, Traditional, Reduced Sodium,Vegetable Classics, Rich & Hearty, and Microwave.

They are all delicious and fit quite well into my low-calorie / low-sodium meal plans. That's important to me.

From the Progresso Website: "Managing your weight can be difficult, but finding foods that are satisfying doesn´t have to be. With Progresso Light and 100 Calorie Soups, you can enjoy a delicious cup of soup that provides great taste and variety all at 100 calories or less.

With surprisingly hearty ingredients like pasta, beans, corn and rice, and flavor-packed vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, and peppers, Progresso Light and 100 Calorie Soups offer varieties with a good source of fiber and a full serving of vegetables.
