Tonight's dinner is one of these brand-new Meal Soups from Bertolli! I've noticed them being advertised heavily, both on TV and through coupon promotions. So when I saw them on sale in the store, with coupon in hand, I couldn't resist grabbing one to give them a try!
Inside the package we find an attractive assortment of cheese tortellini, some nice-sized tomato chunks, lots of spinach, some chicken pieces, and frozen planks of sauce. We add a cup of water (which freezes everything together into one giant block for a while), bring the soup to boiling, and then cover and simmer for five minutes. Easy as that, dinner is ready!
The package makes a very generous portion of soup--each serving is around two cups. The tomato bisque stock is very hearty, with a sweetly creamy, pleasantly herbed flavor. The spinach and tomato pieces are very soft, as would be expected, yet they don't seem mushy and retain a lot of flavor. The chicken pieces are surprisingly firm, yet tender; the pasta is soft but has a nice cheese flavor. I served it with just a slice of
homemade bread with butter, and it made a very satisfying meal. The other flavors don't sound quite as appetizing as this one, honestly, but this one is good enough that I might give them a try! It's the best bowl of soup we've had in a long time. :D
