I'm getting rid of my macbook because it worked fine until they changed the o/s.

Progresso soups. Any of them. They're not healthier than any other soup, just watered down. It's water that's been in the same room with something worth eating.

Fuck you Progresso, I'll not waste any more of my money on your flavored water.

Good day.

Balderdash, Progresso soup is good, I have it most every day. http://cellar.org/2012/nono.gif
Take a bag of chopped frozen soup veggies, a small handful of pasta, a piece of cheese, optional is leftover meat/fish/bird.
Nuke that sucker up, the pasta absorbs much of the liquid, the cheese thickens it, and everything absorbs the flavor.
French Onion and Tomato are exceptionally good, thicker stuff like chowder need a touch more water.
When it goes on sale, 10 cans for $10, I load up.

They used to have a good Manhattan style clam chowder (which I prefer to New England style); but, I haven't seen it on the shelves for years.

Manhattan style? Ugh, wretch, blah, you heathen. :fuse:

Correct!

Seafoods in general have delicate subtle flavors, tomato overpowers then all. :eyebrow:

Sounds like you have the same complaint as Gravdigr, but you have a more can-do attitude about it.

Oh my. You have my sympathies.

*cough*

What can I say, I prefer the taste of tomato to clam; but, I like the chewiness.

It's not like no one has ever heard of Clamato, it's just missing the alcohol.

xoxoxoBruce 10-31-2017 05:09 PM

Through a couple rubber bands in your tomato soup. ;)

Gravdigr 11-02-2017 05:29 PM

You say it's good soup...I couldn't help but notice the entire fucking meal you added to it.

It's water.

Gravdigr 11-02-2017 05:31 PM

Also, you used the word flavor.

Soup, the word, has more flavor than anything Progresso.

xoxoxoBruce 11-02-2017 11:06 PM

Nay nay, your taste buds have been frosted, and will to respond to beer, chips, and pussy. http://cellar.org/2012/bwekk.gif

Gravdigr 11-03-2017 12:43 PM

I don't have the most sensitive palate, but, that soup is lacking.

captainhook455 11-03-2017 08:42 PM

Progresso has always been promoted as healthy. There is nothing healthier than water. Some soups are saltless. Not Progresso because it is saltless from the get go.

The other company that used to be tasteful is Campbell's.

Homemade soup is not that hard to make. Boil chicken til it falls off the bone with salt and pepper.
Add garlic, parsley and a quarter cup hot sauce. Add half a bag of egg noodles. Don't boil noodles and drain separate, put them in the pot with chicken.

Twenty minutes later you will have the best chicken soup you ever hung a lip on.

Just don't.

Chemical taste?

Last week I bought a bottle of Fre Chardonnay no alcohol "wine" by mistake.
It, and other varieties. is made by Sutter Home, the folks that "invented" White Zinfandel 40+ years ago.
Fre Chardonnay is the worst smelling and tasting beverage I have ever encountered.

Nah, they just taste bad. None of them tastes like the flavor of SunnyD they're supposedly representing. The best of the bad bunch was the strawberry-orange. I ate one, and used the others as a replacement for ice in my ginger ale.

travis_fitness 07-30-2018 07:18 AM

Sounds good. You should try!

captainhook455 07-30-2018 08:26 AM

Well I read this thread from 2010. There were some posts from my beautiful Sundae. I thought y'all wouldn't ever stop talking about LED bulbs. The beer section was good. Progresso soups suck and anyone who likes them ought to have their head examined. The best part was about Bimbo the dog.cool.
