Bob's Red Mill Vegi Soup Mix, 28 Oz (4 Pack)

This was my first time trying this product, as well as any product from Bob's Red Mill. After reading the reviews and information on the company, I decided to purchase this soup mix, along with the Muesli. Package arrived in excellent condition and 2 days earlier than expected. I poured 1 1/2 cups of the mix into 6 cups of salted water. Added garlic salt, parsley, and pepper. Let simmer for little over an hour, while adding water when needed for a thinner sauce. The soup had excellent flavor, with all the ingredients having the perfect contribution. I finished 1 mug of the soup and was satisfied. There is about 6-10 mugs of soup left, which goes straight into the fridge. The 1 1/2 cups of mix I used was about 1/5 of the bag, which is only 1 of 4 that come in the well designed box. The company's values, along with the product itself, including nutrition, taste, and cost, add up to an amazing product, in my opinion. I have stored 2 bags in glass storage containers, as the dry storage life far surpasses the time the mix will spend uncooked. This is another bonus. A thank you to all the reviewers of this product, Amazon for carrying the product, and to the founder himself, along with the employees, for bringing this healthy, positive product into my life.

Several years ago when camping we found this mix in a small town grocery store in California. I couldn't find this when I got home so I ordered a few bags from Bob's Red Mill. It has become a staple of our diet along with a few other Bob's Red Mill soups. The great thing about this mix is that you can use it in a myriad of ways. Just plain with some salt and pepper added is great. I usually add salt, pepper, a can of stewed tomatoes, water, one onion, some corn and some mushrooms. Sometimes I add chicken broth instead of tomatoes. Sometimes I add celery and/or carrots. Sometimes I add garlic. Sometimes I add chili powder. I usually don't add meat with this mix. I use a lot of water in a seven quart pot - and about half a bag of this soup. Most of the time I just let it simmer for a few hours. But you can make a good soup with this mix in an hour. We eat it as a meal. One pot lasts us two or three meals. No matter what I do with this mix the result tastes good. Bob's Red Mill beans and soup mixes are always reliably high quality, and we love this soup.

I’ve been using this mix for years. It’s very delicious and the Amazon price was less than in grocery stores. A clean product with no additives. You can’t go wrong with this mix.

Great soup - very nutritious. Cook at least 1.5 hours. Add sausage for more taste

I am not a soup eater or even good at vegetarian stuff, but this stuff is the best thing I have made thus far. I started vegetarian last May and am growing in preparation. Red Mill makes it easy for a novice and former fast food junky. I have never read a bad thing about Red Mill on the web so this is the genuine replacement for prepared high sodium and inpersonal products. I have purchased cereal and wanted to try soup. My wife who is raised far from vegies loves it and so do I. The best soup I have had along with other products. It is consistant and has substance in the soup. Blessed by the best for a healthy lifestyle. I was worried about alternatives in vegetarian but I am on an adventure and finding new ways to use vegies all the time. No more contaminated chemical meat for me if vegies taste so good.

Made this soup very easily. Healthy and everyone likes it. Added a few things as suggested on the package. It is wonderful on chili nights.

First of all, don't be put off by the price. If you've kept track of grocery store receipts lately or the sharp increase in basic foods over the last year, you may see how this product could save you time, gas and MONEY. At the time of this writing, it cost about $16.88 for four packages of this mix. EACH package easily serves 8-16 people with soup left over. While the instructions note to add 4 cups of water or a water and broth combo, we quickly discovered we had to double or even triple the liquid added. No problem there, because we had more soup! If you don't have fresh veggies or spices around, this will suffice as is and it is thick and satisfying. If you garden, you'll improve the taste by adding fresh chopped parsley, garlic and whatever veggies you want. A can of tomatoes (or fresh, chopped ones) does no harm. This is a mix you can play with, add ingredients and spices. IMPORTANT: this is not a salted mix. It is full of split peas, barley, lentils, whole wheat pasta, dehydrated spinach, tomato, onion, etc. If you don't use salt, consider adding a salt substitute. I also added basil. It was delightful, quick and is now a pantry staple. Nutrition: 330 calories (1/2 cup) only 20 calories from fat. Significant source of iron at 22% of the Daily Value. Protein: 20 grams.
