Tabatchnick Soup Review and Giveaway

I told you, it's giveaway week here at Thou Shall Not Whine, and I am excited to tell you about another delicious product that my family was asked to review.  (and there's something in it for you too... a giveaway pack with coupons and goodies!)

Tabatchnick's been in business more than 100 years, using family recipes for a frozen soup and shelf soup line that includes organic, low-calorie, and gluten-free soups and more -- even mac and cheese.  There are also Kosher varieties if that is something to consider in your home.  With over 3 dozen delicious varieties, I was excited to give this a try.  I used the store finder provided on the Tabatchnick Soup Website, and found out that my usual Harris Teeter is a seller of Tabatchnick Frozen Soups.  I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that they only had 3 varieties to choose from at the store I went to.  I'm hoping they soon carry more, as I'd love to try out the potato, mac & cheese, and black bean varieties.  Anyway, I selected the Vegetable Soup, heated it up, and enjoyed it on a ridiculously hot summer day. (In the air conditioning, obviously!)

What I thought:
  • YUM. YUM. YUM.
  • Despite being frozen, the vegetables tasted super fresh and flavorful, not at all mushy like you sometimes get with a canned soup.
  • Ingredients are wholesome, natural, and contain words that I can read.
  • A good size serving for only 90 calories.
  • Fun, letter-shaped pasta might make Joey interested in eating it too.
  • Very filling and satisfying.
  • Overall, a really good lunch choice for me as it's convenient, healthy, and takes hardly any time to prepare.
Want to try some for yourself?  Great!  Carmelle from Tabatchnick Soups has graciously offered a giveaway prize for one of my readers including FREE product coupons and other goodies.  Just leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite kind of soup is to be entered to win!
