MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Many people
are trying to eat more veggies in an effort to live a healthy and
wholesome lifestyle. It's recommended that we should consume 3-5
servings of vegetables per day*, but that can be difficult.
Progresso's passion for making it easy and fun to eat more
vegetables inspired them to create Good Natured soups with ¾ cups
of vegetables per serving.

Available in three unique flavors: Hearty Tomato with Spinach
and Roasted Garlic, Hearty Corn and Chipotle Chowder, and Hearty
Lentil with Garden Vegetables, Good Natured soups are vegan, using
different bean bases and vegetable purees to achieve a delicious,
hearty and creamy texture, all while not using any dairy
ingredients. Good Natured soups also have no preservatives or
colors from artificial sources.
"We know that consumers are more interested in plant-based
diets. With Good Natured soups, we're celebrating vegetables and
showing that beans are not boring and lentils can be fun," said
Roger Galloway, Progresso marketing
manager. "Whether you start your Mondays going meatless or recently
started pinning vegetarian inspiration, our unique flavors will
satisfy your hearty appetite."
As farmer's markets are slowing down and people have tried their
vegetables steamed, grilled, baked, boiled, blanched, spiraled,
blended, or even baked in cookies – the new soup line is being
launched just in time for soup season.
Good Natured soup is available nationally in the soup aisle and
has a suggested retail price of $3.29
per 17-ounce carton (2 servings). For more information, go to
