Low Sodium, Full Flavor!,
By Opinionated (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Leonard Mountain 5 Soup Sampler Dry Soup Mix (Grocery)
I bought these because I was impressed by their low sodium levels, but I expected that they'd need "doctoring" to be palatable. Wrong! These soups are all wonderful as packaged. They're a great staple to have on hand for a quick and easy meal, but they can also be thrown in a slow cooker to be ready when you come home.

This review is from: Leonard Mountain 5 Soup Sampler Dry Soup Mix (Grocery)
When I bought these soups initially (several months ago), I saw the one review. But what that reviewer said about not needing to doctor the soups up for them to be good, really struck a cord with me as that is what I have always needed to do with any soup mixes I had used prior. I also really liked that they only take 20 minutes to make. You can let them stew if you want, but 20 minutes makes a wonderful tasting soup. They have chunky vegis and are very flavorful. I totally love these soups. I have now bought them several times & when ordering again today I thought I needed to also review this great find. I have tried several soup mixes on amazon.com & the Leonard Mountain soups are my favorite by far! 5+ stars :)

Not So Souper After All,

This review is from: Leonard Mountain 5 Soup Sampler Dry Soup Mix (Grocery)
For all the hype these Leonard Mountain dry soups have gotten, they sure did disappoint. I have made 6 varieties now (sitting here with a bowl of the Chicken Pasta as I type), and they were consistently bad...even though I followed the package directions EXACTLY. Maybe that was the problem - I followed the package directions. None were done in 20 minutes. ("edible" in 20 minutes - yes; worth paying xx dollars for it - no; worth calling it "gourmet" - no.) And one reviewer called the veggies "chunky" - really? Wonder what kind of soup they're used to if they think these soups are chunky.
My advice: Lipton instant soup will give you just about the same salty, overseasoned experience as these Leonard Mountain mixes, but for a lot cheaper. Of course, Liption instant soup doesn't purport to call itself "gourmet" like LM does. My real advice: Want a "real" soup that REALLY only takes 20 minutes? Throw some stock (canned broth will work too) in a pot and let it boil, then toss in some fresh veggies (frozen if you want), pre-cooked meat (or raw shrimp), pasta if you want it, canned beans if you want them, and cook until the veggies are the way you like them. Season to taste with just salt and pepper, or add garlic and/or onion powder. Green herbs are great too if you know how to use them. If you're using a crockpot (which I do all the time), do the same thing except wait until the last 30 minutes to toss in the pre-cooked meat. You could also get away with dried beans in a crockpot. In any case, fresh soup only takes 20 minutes to begin with, so these LM soups aren't saving anyone any time. I will NEVER buy these again. EVER. If I need convenience, I'd rather buy canned soup than these.
