Product Review: Amy’s Organic Tuscan Bean & Rice Soup

October 8, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Today was just a soup day. Good thing I picked up a couple of cans of Amy’s Organic Soups the other day—2 for $4. I had never tried their canned soup before, so I was interested in giving them a whirl since I’ve had good luck with other Amy’s products in the past.

Just heat and serve–that’s it.

I wasn’t planning on eating the whole can (really, just 2 cups) but before I knew it, I had. The brown rice and borlotti beans weren’t mushy at all and the flavor was outstanding. It also didn’t have a grainy texture that some soups can have. I was mighty impressed and my soup craving was fulfilled.

So here’s what I also like about this soup: No trans fat, No MSG added, No preservatives, Gluten free, No GMOs, Organic and Vegan.  There are 160 calories per serving, only 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 5 grams of fiber, and 5 grams of protein. But, like everything, here’s the Debbie Downer: 680 mg of sodium. It’s still less than other brands of canned soup and you’re getting the benefit of no animal products, organic ingredients, and gluten free.

Ingredients: FILTERED WATER, ORGANIC BROWN RICE, ORGANIC ONIONS, ORGANIC BORLOTTI BEANS, ORGANIC CELERY, ORGANIC SPINACH, ORGANIC CARROTS, ORGANIC TOMATO PUREE, ORGANIC EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL, ORGANIC GARLIC, ORGANIC SPICES*, SEA SALT, ORGANIC HIGH OLEIC SAFFLOWER AND/OR SUNFLOWER OIL, ORGANIC BLACK PEPPER. *100% PURE HERBS & SPICES (NO HIDDEN INGREDIENTS)

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
