This is big, people! Last year we broke the news about Progresso Light Soups (you know, the ones endorsed by Weight Watchers with a POINTS® value of 0 per serving!). Well, this year we're THRILLED to announce that our close personal pals over at Progresso are launching NINE new Light Soup options... AHHHHHH!!!! Here's the soup scoop.

Proteined-Up P. Light! FOUR new varieties with meat -- Chicken Noodle, Chicken Vegetable Rotini, Beef Pot Roast, and Santa Fe Style Chicken -- each with a POINTS® value of 1 and only 70 - 80 calories and 0.5 - 1.5g fat per 1-cup serving.

P. Light Goes Portable! THREE of their popular Light flavors in portable microwavable bowls -- Italian-Style Vegetable, Homestyle Vegetable and Rice, and Vegetable and Noodle -- each with 100 calories, less than a gram of fat, and a POINTS® value of 1 for the whole thing (about 2 cups).

P. Light with Less Salt! TWO Reduced Sodium options with MUCH lower sodium stats (460 - 470mg per serving) -- Roasted Chicken & Vegetable with a POINTS® value of 1 (yeah, this one has meat, so technically there are FIVE new protein-packed flavors!) and Vegetable with a POINTS® value of 0 (making it the 2nd vegetarian option in the entire line). Those each have 60 - 70 calories and 0 - 1g fat per 1-cup serving.

Sodium-counters will also be happy to know that the original five Progresso Light Soups will have 25% less sodium than they originally contained. Look for the new offerings to hit store shelves starting in late July. And remember, it's NEVER too hot out to enjoy soup -- BECAUSE SOUP ROCKS (especially when it's light and delicious)!!!

    So glad to hear about the lower sodium choices.

    I LOVE them but after eating them for about two weeks every day at work this winter, I was swole like a puffer fish from the sodium content.

    Lentil Soup has 1180 mg per serving!!!!!! And a can is TWO servings!!!!!
