Lets Go Go Go...

I had an opportunity to try a relatively new product out there called Campbells GO Soup (*I received this product for free as a Smiley360 member*). 


It comes in 6 different flavors:
Golden Lentil with Madras Curry
Moroccan Style Chicken with Chick Peas
Creamy Red Pepper with Smoked Gouda
Coconut Curry with Chicken and Shiitake Mushrooms
Chicken Quinoa with Poblano Chilies
and 
Spicy Chorizo & Pulled Chicken with Black Beans

More information can be found here - Campbells Go

All of the flavors sound delicious! The flavor I tried was the Coconut Curry with Chicken and Shiitake Mushrooms! These soups are pretty convenient -- they may be prepared by stovetop, but can be prepared in the microwave as well - perfect for a quick lunch!

Here's what the package looks like, in case you would like to try to find this in your local supermarket.

The package and my bowl  - all ready to taste some soup!


It contains ingredients like roasted carrots, roasted poblano chilies, bok choy and water chestnuts in addition to the chicken and mushrooms. 

I prepared my soup over the stovetop; adding just a touch of freshly ground pepper. It was so quick - less than 5 minutes to prepare. The taste was...DELICIOUS! I am so pleased with the taste of this soup. I love how you can taste the sweet coconut flavor mixed with the curry flavor. I love the chicken chunks and the water chestnuts that you get with every bite. This is a perfect lunchtime at work meal, especially when you are sick and tired of just eating the same thing. Campbells soups are generally very tasty, and this one is no exception to that rule. Way to go!
Did the taste test live up to the Doc's expectations? I think so!


My only small gripes are that it was a bit on the salty side and I also wish that there were larger chunks of shiitake mushroom. 

Random thoughts:
-I bet this product would be good paired with rice or quinoa or crackers, just to mix it up.
-The next flavor I would probably try would probably be the Creamy Red Pepper and Smoked Gouda. I am a big cheese fan and I would like to see how that flavor combination would taste.
-Also for some Campbells Go Soup fun - go and complete this Mad Lib (remember those)
-Mission Link

If you were to try Campbells Go Soup, which flavor would you like to try? If you have already tried all the flavors, which do you recommend?
