Hearty Meatless Soups

Progresso's 'Good Natured' Soups are Richly Plant-Based

'Good Natured' is the name of a new meatless soup trio from Progresso that puts an emphasis on how hearty soups can be without meat ingredients.

The three new soups from Progresso include bold flavors like Hearty Corn and Chipotle Chowder or Hearty Tomato with Spinach and Roasted Garlic, intended to show that "beans are not boring and lentils can be fun." On top of this, each soup makes it easy to consume more vegetables, as each Good Natured soup is loaded with three quarters of a cup worth of vegetables per serving.

While there are plenty of soups that are meatless by default, these ones from Progresso specifically position themselves as a viable option for vegetarian and vegan consumers, as well as those who are interested in slowly reducing their consumption of meat.
