    Wow, I guess I'm the only one here who finds Progresso canned soups utterly taste-free.

    So I assume that the above Disagreer also doesn't like Progresso? :D:D:D

    :smiley: I'm not a fan of Progresso but am not one of your disagreers.

    I'm interested to see all the fans of Pacific, because where I am (South of Boston) it is only available at Whole Foods. Maybe it is more available other parts of the country, or y'all are WF shoppers. (Or I'm wrong; see below.)

    I love their cream of chicken soup for chicken casseroles, and cream of mushroom soup for green bean casserole and pot roast. Have not yet tried their other soups. I have the mushroom soup on my shopping list. WF is now charging $10 for delivery in my area and it is not convenient to go there in person. But thanks to this thread, I've looked it up and learned I can also get it at Shaw's:

    For those of you who are interested, it is gluten free.

    I eat mostly Amy's soups...lentil, split pea, and chili. The Thai coconut is the best. I like to add wild rice or potatoes.

    Did someone say they stock up on Progresso Soup when it is on sale?

    Its regular price here is $1.68 for a 19 oz can. I can't imagine how much cheaper it would need to be.

    They sell Pacific brand at Costco here in NM. I'm not sure about other grocery stores as we do the bulk of our grocery shopping at Costco and only run to the regular grocery store for some odds and ends and some produce. I love broccoli, but I cannot eat a 25 Lb bag of broccoli from Costco before it goes bad.

    Will have to check for Pacific brand next time I'm in a Costco. I have liked the Marie Callender soups they sell there. Usually the only store-bought soups I buy are ones I can't or won't cook from scratch: lobster bisque, New England clam chowder, cream of mushroom, etc.

    At my Costco, it's limited to a couple of options only for the Pacific brand. Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato and Creamy Tomato I think.

    I'm now also recalling they sell Pacific brand at Sprouts as well which is only a few miles from my house so I might go get some different one's to try

    I make most of my stews and soups from scratch, but it's nice having something handy when the need arises. I think we might be having some Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato tonight with grilled cheese at it is the first real fall feeling day here and it's chilly, overcast, and off and on rain. Good night for soup and a fire. If my kids soccer practice gets cancelled I might make something from scratch, but my guess is that it will go on and we won't get home until around 7 or so.

    Regular price at my grocery store is $2.69 per can.
    They just had a sale if you bought 8 cans, they were .99 each. So, yeah, I stocked up and bought 8.

    You outta move to the rust belt. Everything is cheaper here.

    Well darn! With an annual glut of tomatoes and peppers from my garden, those are all soups I regularly make and freeze.

    It’s so easy to make homemade in an instant pot type cooler:

    Pound or two of raw chicken breast
    Water
    Kitchen accomplice low sodium broth concentrate
    As much carrots and celery as you want
    Handful of Italian or herbes de Provence
    Generous shake of cayenne pepper

    Cook for 45-60 minutes on high pressure. Shred the chicken with a fork. Continue simmering and add 10 minute barley OR remove a little broth and whip with flour, add back and throw some easy bisquick dumplings on top, cover for 8-12 minutes and voila, chicken and dumplings.

    Don’t be me and forget to allow for preheat and cool down time. 🤦🏻‍♀️
