Amy’s Soup, Vegan Light in Sodium Lentil Vegetable Soup, Gluten Free, Made With Organic Vegetables, Canned Soup, 14.5 Oz (12 Pack)

This soup is not only high in Vitamin A and C but is great to have on hand for a quick lunch or dinner, either alone with supplemented with bread or crackers and a salad. It is also completely gluten-free. Imagine this: you're hungry, don't have anything on hand, don't want to out and buy groceries. With a 12 pack of this on hand (currently averaging $2.50 a can but a deal because it is so filling), you simply need to open the can, heat it and add whatever you want to offset the low sodium - unless you are on a low-sodium diet. I'm NOT on a low-sodium diet and don't mind the lack of salt. However, if you want a stronger or saltier taste, you can add a bit of regular or garlic salt or salt substitute. I also prefer to add a dollop of sour cream or low-fat yogurt and that makes a HUGE difference. With some crackers, I'm set for lunch or even dinner. Look below for the nutritional content and other benefits but don't overlook those impressive amounts of Vitamin A and C. Sure, you'll need more for your daily requirements but this doesn't have that horrible preservative taste of other canned soups and my whole family loves it. I sometimes add a bit of chicken or vegetable broth and add some lightly sauteed onions or celery. But none of that is necessary. Good to have on hand for power outages, blizzards or times when you need food and the stove won't work. It can be eaten cold in a pinch. Other pros: 1. No trans fats, MSG or preservatives. NO GMOS, no bio-engineered ingredients. 2. Tastes a bit bland by itself (low sodium) but add some pepper, a bit of salt and a dollop of sour cream and yogurt and it is elevated to a far tastier soup. 3. Great to have on hand for emergencies or when you're rushed for time and need a quick meal. Perhaps hearty eaters would want more but I find a can to be totally satisfying and hearty enough to keep me full till dinner or eve as a dinner entree. 4. My whole family likes it but they do prefer salt. So take a chance on this and see if your family likes it. If they do, having this on hand could be a major time saver and you'll know they aren't getting trans fats. 5. Relatively high vitamin content compared to other commercial soups. Nutritional content (daily values): Vitamin A- 45 percent, Vitamin C - 20 percent, Calcium - 6%, Iron - 15%, Fat - only 4 grams (no trans fat and only .5% of saturated fat), no cholesterol, 340 mg sodium, 24 grams of carbs, dietary fiber 32%, protein - 7 grams, sugars - 5 grams. We find that if we have this soup before a larger meal we don't feel inclined to eat as much. If you are trying to lose weight, this is a plus. Each can is around 360 calories unless you want to stretch this to 2 servings. I don't prefer to do that but if you have toddlers or very young children, half a can should be plenty. I'm sold on this wonderful soup!

What an amazing soup. For years I ate a national brand. Then it became unavailable. I turned to this. The less sodium actually improves the flavor. Plus additional added veggies. I still use it as a base to add more lentils, more veggies more vegi stock and garlic chilli sauce. I 100% vegan food. A great value. By argumenting it 1 case last two months having soup every day for lunch.

We all love Amy's soups. Whenever there's a sale on these we stock up. Our favorites are this one (Lentil Vegetable Soup), the Reduced Sodium Green Pea and the Reduced Sodium Minestrone. They're all delicious, healthy and vegetarian. These all taste like they're home made. Because they're reduced sodium, we can afford to toss in a few saltines w/out going over the edge on daily sodium intake.

I really like this soup and order it regularly. The flavor and texture are consistent and it’s an easy meal to keep on hand. The flat I received this time arrived with several cans damaged during shipping. A few had ruptured and the box was leaking soup when it arrived, so I had to discard the cans right away. I was able to request a refund through Amazon, and I will try ordering it again since the issue seemed related to shipping rather than the product itself.

The order had several dented cans.

I ordered the following Amy's Low Salt Products: Lentil Soup, Pea Soup, Minestrone Soup, and Medium Chili. All of them are great. If you are just now switching to Low salt or no salt you may find them to be bland until your body adjusts to the lowered salt intake (that could take months or up to a year). The biggest complaint most have is the dented cans. My Minestrone and Chili came in without any dents, the Pea Soup had 2 dented cans and the Lentils had dents in every can. These dents are not caused by shipping. All of my shipments came in with the packages totally intact with no signs that the outer shipping box had been roughed up in shipment. These dents are caused by Amazon or Amy's warehousing. The cans are not in boxes, they are shrink wrapped so when stacked the cans are actually bearing the weight. Too much weight and the cans begin to buckle and this buckling will look like dents. You can also get this same effect if the warehousemen are slamming the 12 pack cans down hard on top of each other. This happens when workers in the warehouse get tired and become careless, are untrained, or just plain don't care about their job. If you want to feel better then stay on a low salt diet, if you have ankle swelling then get on a low salt diet and get checked for congestive heart failure. If you have high blood pressure get on a low salt diet and then increase your intake of magnesium. Backing off your salt is not easy as it begins to change the way you taste food but if you stay with it and get off the high salt diet you will begin to taste food and not just the salt. Have you ever eaten at a restaurant where the cook's salt intake is so high that the cook can't tell if he has too much salt in the food he is preparing? I have more than once and it just destroys the meal. Instead of buying 12 cans now try the Amy's Low Salt by getting it at your local health food store one can at a time then if you like order from Amazon and save. Right now they have a 25% discount code when you order. Write it down and use it as it saved me a few bucks. Hope this review helps you.

Makes for a decent healthy lunch - better than a burger and fries I guess. Tastes OK but I wouldn't say I like it.

We love this soup and buy it constantly. We keep cans in our pantry when we need a meal in a hurry. Just heat and eat! It’s not really a kid food but all three of my kids love it. They will even take it to school in their thermos. The taste is great—lightly flavored, not bland at all but easy to eat. The texture is good. Lots of lentils and pieces of veggies. The whole can is 270 calories, 11g or protein, and 8g of fiber. A really filling combo. Like all soups, it is high in sodium.
