Common Questions and Answers about Progresso Lentil Soup

How do you spice up Progresso Lentil Soup?

The best way to spice up a bland can of Progresso lentil soup is to add some seasoning, salt and lemon. Here is my recipe to spice up a bland can of Progresso lentil soup.

  • 1 tsp of dried oregano or Italian seasoning.
  • 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar.
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt.

Is Progresso Lentil Soup gluten-free?

Progresso makes a few different types of lentil soup. Here is a list of all of the gluten-free lentil soups made by Progresso.

  • Progresso Lentil From Progresso Classics
  • Progresso Lentil Soup with Roasted Vegetables

Is canned lentil soup good for you?

Of course fresh soup is always going to be heal it her for you than a canned lentil soup. However, as far as canned soups go, lentil is one of the healthiest types. Lentils themselves are healthy. Lentils are high in fiber, magnesium, iron, folic acid and protein. Making them a great iron rich staple for vegans and vegetarians.

Canned lentil soup is often made with vegan ingredients and with less salt than other types of canned soups. When selecting which brand of canned lentil soup to buy you should look for a gluten-free, vegan and low sodium option.

Amy’s Low Sodium lentil soup is a great choice! It’s low in calories and fat. But it’s high in protein. Amy’s lentil soup has zero sugar added, which is another healthy plus.

As far as Progresso lentil soup goes the classic lentil soup is healthier than the lentil soup with roasted vegetables. While both soups are gluten free and vegan the lentil with roasted vegetable soup has more additives.

Progresso lentil soup is mostly healthy but it is made with soy bean oil and has natural flavors added. While the Progresso lentil with roasted vegetables has added sugar and maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is even more unhealthy than sugar is.

Even though maltodextrin is approved for food use by the FDA it’s associated with negative side effects. Maltodextrin can cause stomach aches, cramps, gas and diarrhea. According to research maltodextrin has also been proven to alter gut bacteria by causing the bacteria to stick to the cells that line the intestinal wall.

What are the ingredients in Progresso Lentil Soup?

There are two types of Progresso lentil soups out there, lentil with roasted vegetables and classic lentil. Here are the ingredients for both types of Progresso lentil soup.

Progresso Classic Lentil Soup Ingredients

  • Water
  • Lentils
  • Celery
  • Tomato Paste
  • Modified Food Starch
  • Spinach
  • Contains Less than 1% of: Salt, Soybean Oil, Sugar, Natural Flavor, Yeast Extract.

Progresso Lentil Soup with Roasted Vegetables

  • Water
  • Lentils
  • Red Bell Peppers
  • Roasted Zucchini
  • Roasted Yellow Squash
  • Fire Roasted Carrots
  • Celery
  • Modified Food Starch
  • Contains Less Than 1% Of: Salt, Onion Powder, Dried Roasted Garlic, Maltodextrin, Yeast Extract, Natural Flavor, Spice, Raisin Juice Concentrate, Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Sugar.
