Hey friends!

Are you ready for a fun giveaway??

Earlier this month, Progresso sent me an ENORMOUS package of soup to sample through MyBlogSpark.

Behold:

002

Good thing I really like soup :)

They sent a bunch of their light and 100 calorie soups, as well as some low sodium soups, which made me happy because canned soup is always really sodium heavy.

In addition to the soup, they sent an awesome soup mug, which is now my new favorite! It’s the perfect size and even has a comfy handle :)

004

I received the package just after arriving home from my California trip, so it was perfect timing with my empty fridge! I immediately busted into the stash.

I combined half a can of the Manhattan Clam Chowder with half a can of the Reduced Sodium Garden Vegetable.

006

007

It was a delicious combination! Full of lots of chunky veggies, mmmm. I’d never had the Manhattan Clam Chowder before and it was great! I served it in my new bowl, of course :)

008

I’ve always loved canned soup – it’s such a great quick and easy meal when the fridge is empty or when I need something last minute to bring to work. I especially enjoyed the low sodium variety – I wish they would make all their soups low sodium.

The final thing that was included in my package was an AWESOME digital jump rope!!

020

It’s pretty much the coolest thing ever – not only does it count how many times you’ve jumped, but it can also show you the total miles or kilometers you’ve jumped and the amount of calories you’ve burned!

I tried it out immediately ;)

025024 Hehe :) So much fun!

So, want to win a Progresso gift pack of your very own??

They have offered to send one lucky fANNEtastic food reader the following:

  • Two cans of Progresso soup
  • One Progresso soup mug
  • One digital jump rope

Yay!

  20. Allison says:

    Holy pyramid of soup I can’t even imagine having that show up on my doorstep! crazy! My favorite soup is any kind of Thai soup…YUM.

    Also, your outfit in the pics is really cute! I’m constantly on the search for nice dark jeans that fit me well. Shopping for jeans is worse than going to the dentist!

  27. Jen Robinson says:

    I heart tomato basil with grilled cheese but in general I enjoy vegetable soups and ministrone- SUPER filling. Also a nice lentil once in awhile, but a whole bowl is a lot, so maybe if i’m just feeling a cup of soup :)

  33. Jamie says:

    I LOOOVE progress soups! (especially the spicy gumbo) and would love to have some samples from progresso! oh, and I was cracking up watching you jump role in street clothes: you can’t let anything stop you from some healthy activity!

  34. Maggie says:

    I love soup! My favorite is lentil vegetable. So yummy.

  35. Mariel says:

    I recently made this African Coconut Curry soup and it was really yummy!


    Whoa that sounds amazing!!! Send me the recipe?? :) -Anne

  36. Wow that is a LOT of soup!! I’ve never thought of combining 2 soup flavors before but that is such a good idea! And the jump rope… that’s so cool!!!!

    My favorite kind of soup is potato soup… yum!

  37. Althea says:

    I’ve always been a big fan of soup, but more so recently. I think the cold weather has influenced that choice! haha My absolute favorite kind of soup is tomato. I know, I know…it’s one of the heaviest in sodium. But when I’ve had a bad day or I just can’t seem to get warm, tomato soup always comes to the rescue! It’s delicious! :-)

  38. susan says:

    souuuuuuuuuuuuuuup!!! i think i most love a realy good tomato soup (with a grilled cheese on a rainy portland day).

    and i actually love to jump rope… in fact my family busted out a jump rope session IN THE LIVING ROOM at christmas dinner this year!! haha


    ha! that’s awesome. -Anne

  39. susan says:

    i tweeterized the giveaway too!!

  40. Paigw says:

    mushroom soup is my favorite!

  41. Mary Z says:

    I’m chicken noodle lover…but I like it to be loaded with veggies.

  42. catiedidit says:

    Corn chowder…mmm mmm mmm !

  43. Lindsey says:

    I love the Hearty Chicken Rotini! Yummy noodles!

  44. Miranda says:

    I love New England Clam Chowder!

  45. Christina says:

    i looove annie’s chunkytomato bisque (i think that’s the right name?)

    but progresso in all different flavors are my go-to soups!

  46. Kristen says:

    I LOVE SOUP! My current favs are Progresso Light Chicken and Dumpling and Amy’s Split Pea…yum!

  47. emily says:

    My favorite kind of soup is Callaloo; it’s a Caribbean stew made with lots of okra.

  48. Katherine says:

    Hmmm this is a tough one!! I LOVE all types of soup, and as a vegetarian, they make up a huge part of my diet. I’m not sure if I can just choose one as my favorite! I think it’s an even tie between lentil soup, pasta fagioli, and escarole with bean. They are all SO yummy and SO healthy (depending on what they are made with). I have even convinced my skeptical, meat-eater boyfriend that soup can be a full meal with the right sides. (read: bread).

  49. Fallon says:

    I love a good homemade chicken noodle soup with tons of veggies.

  50. Emily says:

    I LOVE corn chowder (or chicken corn chowder) for a thick soup. My lighter choices are beef vegetable or classic chicken noodle :)

  51. Emily B says:

    Taco soup! It’s so filling. But if it’s gotta be out of the can, I like something with a lot of veggies or really creamy tomato soup.

  52. grace says:

    i actually really like the progresso light vegetable soups. italian and southwestern<3 yum!

  53. Adventurer says:

    My favorite soup is clam chowder! (But I suspect it’s got a fair amount of sodium…)

  54. Tamsin says:

    I LOVE progresso chicken and dumplings, chicken corn chowder and recently discovered the new england clam chowder! I have never had a bad experience with these soups.

  55. My favorite soup is my mom’s lentil soup! :)

  56. Tamsin says:

  72. Macrae Carreker says:

    Hi Anne!!
    I love reading your blog! My favorite soup is my Grandmother’s. We all call it “Mum mum’s soup” (after her of course)! It pretty much vegetable soup with stew meat..and always skillet cornbread on the side! Yum!

    Macrae

  73. Sarah says:

    I love tomato soup and grilled cheese :) It’s an oldie but a goodie especially if you use really nice cheese and bread and make your own soup!

    Also, have you ever eaten at Sweet Green? One of my girlfriends and I are going to check it out tomorrow. I’m excited for the froyo (even though it’s cold)!!

  74. Katy B says:

  86. Stephanie says:

    Chicken Tortilla! So super Fannetastic!!!

  87. Becca says:

    Split pea soup is a definite fav of mine! but since i’m sick right now…i’d have to say chicken noodle sounds delish :)

    PS: I TOTALLY did jump rope for heart back in the day, and if they had digital jump ropes then, it would have been wayyyyy cooler…but seeing as how there wasn’t internet or anything yet, i’m not surprised!!


    Oh my gosh I remember Jump Rope for the Heart!! We had that at my school :) That really would have been more awesome with digital jump ropes, ha! -Anne

    My favorite soup is Tomato Basil!! From ANYWHERE!

  91. My favorite soup is probably lentil when it has chunks of carrot in it. I recently had a sesame soup with lemon, peas and carrots in it. But that was at a cafe, not from a can. It’s hard to find canned soup without MSG!
