(More customer reviews)Progresso makes an excellent soup and this chicken and wild rice soup with vegetables in a microwavable bowl is no exception. The soup is delicious and overall fairly healthy for you.
I like that the soup provides a good deal of chicken and both the rice and the vegetables taste fresh. The broth is also very tasty. Progresso makes a higher quality chicken soup than most other brands because they include more chicken in their chicken and wild rice soups.
One look at the ingredients shows us a few more positives: There are no trans fats and the soup is very low in fat. It is also comparatively low in cholesterol. However, it also contains sodium (900 mg!!!) so if you need to watch your salt intake, consider this before buying this product.
The top lid can be tough to take off and even then you have to handle the bowl very carefully to avoid spilling the soup. The soup is filled up to the brim of the bowl; and that makes it very tough not to spill at least a little! The top lid is actually very clunky and it doesn't really help enough when it's on top of the bowl inside the microwave oven, either. The cover doesn't completely cover the soup bowl in the microwave and some soup may well spill inside the microwave. And you DO need a solid surface on which you can open this container otherwise you are almost certain to have a spill (possibly for the second time) because the soup bowl is filled completely.
Overall, the soup itself is excellent. The packaging, on the other hand, is nothing special. The cover lid is cumbersome to remove and inside the microwave soup can spill out through the cover. The cost of the packaging makes the soup more expensive to buy. The packaging needs to be changed; perhaps Progresso could make a slightly higher bowl so that the soup won't easily spill out when you remove the plastic lid.
I highly recommend this for people who love chicken soup with wild rice and vegetables as long as they don't need to worry about sodium in their diets. If you are bothered by the packaging, however, then try another brand. Five stars for the actual soup combine with three stars for the packaging to make this a four star review.
