October 6, 2012 by Momstart 307 Comments

At Blogher Food Progresso was there and I had the opportunity to taste lots of different recipes created with the Progresso Recipe Starters Cooking Sauce. They were pretty good and they made complicated dishes seam quite simple:

Progresso Recipe Starters sauces are available in five flavorful varieties that can each be used as a starter to create numerous home-cooked meals. For added inspiration, Progresso created 80 recipes utilizing this new line of cooking sauces that can be found on Progresso.com/RecipeStarters. Many of these recipes are classic family favorites, such as Bacon Mac n´ Cheese, Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Parmesan, and utilize ingredients your family may already have on-hand. In addition, all of the recipes on the site include a Rate and Review feature, so we encourage you to leave a rating and review of your own, in which you can even include a link back to your blog post about that recipe! Look for Progresso Recipe Starters in the soup aisles!

Inspired by the five "Mother" Sauces that form the basis of classical French cooking, including Béchamel, Velouté, Tomato, Espagnole and Hollandaise, Recipe Starters use a variety of ingredients and the best techniques to make sure you have delicious options to take on the school days dinner dilemma. The five varieties are:

Creamy Parmesan Basil: This creamy, full-bodied and indulgent sauce that was inspired by alfredo and creamy pesto sauces can be used to make dishes such as Crispy Garlic-Parmesan Chicken, Creamy Chicken Alfredo, Basil Chicken Ravioli Carbonara and Basil Chicken Thai Noodle
Creamy Roasted Garlic with Chicken Stock: With caramelized, roasted chicken broth, garlic and a touch of cream, this stock is perfect for dishes such as Creamy Lemon Chicken, Chicken Pot Pie and Chicken Enchiladas

Progresso Soup Gift Package Giveaway

December 4, 2010 by Momstart 196 Comments

Have you seen the hilarious Progresso Soup can commercials? They have top chef’s calling and finding out how to make great soup using the Progresso can phones. They made me laugh, and when MyBlogSpark said they were going to send me a Progresso phone, I didn’t understand what they were sending until it actually arrived. They sent me two cans, cleaned, empty and a hole cut in the bottom of them with a string tying them to each other. I forgot all about this kind of cup phone. We used to use plastic cups, what did you use? So I let the kids play with the phone, it only works if the cord is actually taunt. The fun with the phone was short lived because they actually started whacking each other with their phone. Not sure where that came from but it ended.

I actually have a lot of Progresso soup in my cupboard already, General Mills has excellent sales at Albertsons and it is very easy to get the soup next to nothing in price. I probably paid 40 cents a can that day, which I think is a good price for a can of Progresso Soup. Here is a rundown of a few of their soup groups!

Progresso® New World RecipesTM – Inspired by Mexican recipes, explore one of the fastest growing ethnic cuisines by giving the Progresso New World Recipes line a try. Made with authentic Mexican ingredients and seasonings, four new Progresso soups will be hitting grocery shelves near you – Chicken Tortilla, Meatball & Rice, Black Bean Jalapeno and Chicken & Vegetable.
Progresso Light – America´s number one Light soup just got better, as all 13 existing Progresso Light varieties are now packed with bigger pieces of white meat chicken, more tender pieces of beef or added vegetables. Need even more to talk about? Progresso Light New England Clam Chowder is the first creamy Light ready-to-serve soup that holds true to the Progresso Light name with just 1 Weight Watchers® POINTS® value per serving!
Progresso Reduced Sodium – With 49 percent of shoppers concerned about high cholesterol1, Progresso understands the importance of soluble fiber and reduced sodium diets. New Reduced Sodium Tomato Parmesan soup is one more tasty option that has a delicious blend of flavors and carries the "May Help Lower Cholesterol"2 benefit.

Progresso High Fiber – With 9 out of 10 Americans not getting the recommended Daily Value of fiber, Progresso High Fiber line of soups are packed with 7 grams per serving. Giving you one more thing to talk about, Progresso brand´s first Chili Soup just joined the High Fiber family!
