Health Valley Split Pea and Carrot Soup

Health Valley SoupIt seems that kids and adults alike assume that pea soup are one of those nutritious foods that you're supposed to eat, but it looks really ... icky. As a devoted health-nut, however, I decided to give this notoriously nasty soup a whirl. After experimenting with tasteless dried mixes, I picked up Health Valley's Split Pea and Carrot Soup.

Most of Health Valley's soups are ready-to-eat, meaning no water is necessary. When I first opened the can of the Split Pea and Carrot variety, however, I had to check to make sure it was not condensed because the soup was quite thick. Once heated though, it thins out to a velvety consistency and ... Wow! This stuff tastes like a smooth combination of vegetables and homemade goodness. There were visible chunks of pea and carrot in each bite, and I was left satisfied when I reached the bottom of the bowl.

Nutritionally, Health Valley Split Pea and Carrot Soup is an all-star, especially when compared to other soups on the market today. Like most of Health Valley's soups, the Split Pea is organic (this one is 70% organic) and fat-free. A 1 cup serving provides 110 calories, 8 grams of protein and a whopping 24% of your daily fiber needs. Each serving also contains 20% of the RDA for sodium, which is impressive in comparison to other brands that contain upwards of 30% per serving.

Each can costs $2.75 at Publix, which is about standard for most of these value-added soups. The taste and quality of this product make it worth it Go ahead, give pea soup a chance. It's nutritious and delicious.

I looooooooooove pea soup, and people tend to think I am crazy, but it is just great... (unless you put bacon or ham in there, ick!)

Yum! This looks great! Haven't seen this brand in the UK though unfortunately.

Gee 8 grams of protein per serve is really good for a soup!
