I figured since I bought all that soup and yoghurt yesterday when in the States I might as well start eating it! ๐
Today I chose the Progresso Light Zesty Santa Fe Style Chicken soup, it is 2 Weight Watchers Plus Points per serving (which is 1 cup) and there are 2 servings in a can.
Here is a close up of it…
It is not a pretty looking soup, the broth is kind of a sludge type colour, not appetizing looking in person at all. The chicken pieces were nicely sized, I’d go as far as to call them chunks or cubes of chicken rather than pieces buuuuut the chicken was dry and chewy, sigh. There was one cube of chicken that was soft and tender and it was such an oddity compared to the other pieces I actually wondered what went wrong with that particular piece of chicken lol The rice, veggies and beans were excellent, Mmm! The first spoonful was a tad spicy but I like spicy food so I quickly adjusted and was fine with it.
For an overall review I would not recommend this soup, mostly because of the chicken being so dry and chewy. I feel that if a company is going to put meat of any form in to a can of soup they should make sure the meat is tender and tasty. Just sayin.
For the yoghurt I enjoyed a Yoplait Cherry Yoghurt that apparently has 25% Less Sugar.
It is 4 Weight Watchers Plus Points which seems a tad high considering it is just a yoghurt cup, shrug, but it did taste good! There were actual pieces of cherries in there which is always nice. ๐
So far I am batting 50/50, one yah and one nay, and that’s alright, I mean I can’t expect everything I choose to taste good lol I expect most of the yoghurts to taste good but the soup is a total guessing game, shrug.
I’m picking randomly which soup and which yoghurt to eat so who knows which ones I’ll write about next! ๐
I’ve tried all the WW soups available in Canada, and don’t like any of them. I can make better soup myself, and figure out the points value. The best prices I’ve found for WW products are usually at WalMart or Superstore.
I never see any WW endorsed soups at Superstore, I don’t think I’ve looked for them at WalMart though so maybe I’ll try to spot them next time I am there. Why didn’t you like them?
There’s not much flavour to any of the soups I tried. Just wasn’t worth the points for me.
