I'm a soup person

I'm a soup lover. I have a few acceptable recipes under my sleeves that I am not shy to serve to others who could appreciate or use a hearty soup to warm the soul. But the peeling, mixing, pureeing, blending and, of course, cooking, could be quite tiring that I sometimes find it simpler to open the cupboard and look for instant canned or boxed soups. Usually I buy Campbell soups and it's a brand that saw me through many rainy nights when a hot soup makes me cozy inside. But Campbell now has serious competition in my cupboard space. A trip to Healthy Options made me discover Pacific Natural Foods selection of all natural and organic soup.

Now I don't always have to do so much work to have a creamy tomato or squash soup when I want it. The company Pacific Foods of Oregon, Inc. does all the work that give me a happy tummy. My favorite is the Creamy Tomato Soup. It can serve two to three people for less than P130, I think. The company says their milk comes from a local dairy, their tomatoes ripen on the vine and there's a real coconut in the Cashew Carrot Ginger.

 

 Here are five of the Pacific Food creamy soups I've bought. Of course, nothing equals the pride a cook feels when a pot of soup she cooked gets praises, but taking the instant route with this brand is not bad at all because it's really satisfying, healthy and could even be more affordable.
