Chinese Take-out Won Ton

Won Ton soup.. sad to say I frequently write it off as a generic, soso soup.. which is really not fair..

It's quite a tasty broth.. the bits of pork and scallion really bulk up the flavor.. I'm not exactly sure what was in the wontons.. but I know they were good. . .

about half way through I dumped a soy sauce packet in, because I like the flavor.. and when I was all out of 'tons, I dropped in the bag of crispy noodles that comes with it (top left.).. which. were. delicious. in the broth.. this was exactly what I should have ordered and thinking back I'm really glad I did.. perfect.

Enjoy this unnecessarily blurry pic of the Miso from Yama Sushi in Denville.. I finally remembered to take a pic!

It's a bit darker Miso than the Kaze soup.. hard to say which is really better.. they're both pretty good. The seaweed pieces are a bit bigger in Yama's.. other than that.. pretty much the same.. either way.. a great flavor and a real nice precursor to my sushi..

Miso - Again!

Every time I get a picture of miso soup it's while I'm at Kaze.. I wish I remembered to snap a shot while I was at Yama in denville.

anyway. you know my story on this Miso - Delicious as usual!


perhaps a tumblr was the better direction to go with this?

Cambpells V8 Broccoli


I take super flattering cell phone camera pics, I know.. it's great.

Long story short.. I'm pretty sure these are supposed to be used for casseroles or larger soup bases n such.. wasn't really a whole lot to it. pretty bland.

Gave it a dash of salt, a shake of parmesan cheese, and a shake of lemon pepper - and I didn't dislike it.

Price you pay for healthy eating I guess.. to me it's just bland.. we'll see if any of the others fare any better

Nutrition, as usual. - perhaps i'll start snapping a pic of the ingredients some time in the future..

Campbells Chunky Chicken Corn Chowder


Used to eat this all the time.. I'm still not sure how I feel about it.. It tastes good, but I'm just never finding myself saying "Self, I'm really in the mood for some chicken corn chowder."

Take from that what you will.. but I'm certainly not saying NOT to try it..
No ingredients pic.. but the Nutr. Info

Progresso Chickarina


What to sayyyy about chickarina... Other than it's more or less Italian Wedding soup without spinach.

Continues the typical canned soup awkward gray meatball tradition.. overall not a bad tasting soup though.

If I were to make any complaint, however, it would have to be the incredibly tiny amount of chicken in a soup called CHICKarina..

Nutritional info

can't find a single thing about the history of this soup. I guess you can fall back to the wedding soup wiki if you need something else to read.

Progresso R.S. Italian-Style Wedding

Wish I hadn't used such a giant cup. . makes it look like I ate it all - which finally wasn't the case!

Anyway. Back to the Soup. To be totally honest. . I didn't much care for this as reduced sodium. . and I put some more salt in it about 1/2 way through.. I had bought two. . and I ate the second one (not in the same day, I promise!) without adding salt for the sake of eating the soup as intended

I'm not saying it was bad - but until a medical professional tells me to cut salt.. I'll stick with regular sodium levels in my soup

Info

I've already linked to this wiki for wedding soup.
