I tried it so you don’t have to.
Brutally honest, occasionally dramatic, and always snack-obsessed—this is where I spill the tea on what’s worth your cart space and what’s better left on the shelf. No fluff, no filters, just real-deal reviews with a side of sass.
Chicken Noodle Soup
I love a good chicken noodle soup… and this was NOT it. It had no flavor whatsoever, which is shocking considering the whole carton has 1200mg of sodium. The noodles were also extremely mushy, to the point where they kind of dissolved in my mouth. The only redeeming quality is the quantity of noodles and veggies. I won’t ever get this again. The large carton of toto soup is much better! What’s your favorite soup from TJ’s?!
Harvest Chili
This is such a great, hearty soup! The beans and quinoa really bulked it up, while adding a nice texture. The whole container is 320 calories which I loved and also kept me full! I took off one point because I would have really enjoyed some heat, but adding some habanero hot sauce fixed that! I will definitely keep picking this up until it’s not longer in season! It’s super convenient, filling, and it’s vegan! What’s your favorite soup from Trader Joe’s?
Tomato Feta Soup
I've heard such amazing things about this soup so I was looking forward to trying it! It did not disappoint! There were itty bitty pieces of feta in there as well as some chopped onion. I was a big fan of the chunks of onion. Something I didn't really enjoy was the tomato skin pieces. I found a few and they were difficult to bite through. This soup was creamy and light, and I had no problem polishing off the entire container. I also really liked that the entire thing was only 300 calories and 17 grams of fat. That is really low in comparison to some quality restaurant tomato soup.
I would get this again, but I don't think this would be my first choice! The amount of sodium definitely makes this more of a "treat meal" (or else my ankles will be permanently blown up). What is your favorite soup from TJ's?!
Hearty Minestrone Soup
Normally minestrone soup isn’t my favorite, but I was intrigued by the plethora of orzo in this one! The orzo really bulked it up which is what I was hoping for. I ate the whole container for lunch and was content! With that being said, I definitely wasn’t content with the amount of sodium given it didn't have much flavor. Essentially this is just a veggie soup. There’s nothing wrong with that but I wouldn’t grab a veggie soup over other options!
If you are into minestrone soup, I recommend you give this a try! It’s not my favorite kind of soup which is why it didn’t blow my skirt up… but hey, maybe it’ll toast your buns!
