Instant soup gets the mom test
by Nancy Conway
I can't wait 'til next week when my mom-in-law comes to visit. Can't wait because we have a nice time together and because I am going to go where no daughter-in-law dares to go. I will serve this soup-loving, stew-slurping gourmand a bowl of cheese and vegetable soup, and she will think it is outrageously good, but never realize that it is actually one of many Outrageously Good soup mixes made by E.D. Foods.
Maybe she would like the cream of carrot and dill, or silky potato
soup. I love to make soups -- and always thought the more difficult
to make, the better. I don't enjoy fast food and tend to think anything
that starts out as a powder and ends up as a meal, is fast food. Then
I tried the Outrageously Good soups -- now I amend the fast food subdivision
of foods so as not to include this brand. The soups taste wonderful.
They are loaded with the vitamins and food supplements that should
be found in soup and this Canadian company offers a wide line to accommodate
vegetarians, vegans and those with special diet requirements, including
low-sodium, low-calorie and fat-free versions.
You may think their most popular brand is alphabet soup when you visit
the Outrageously Good Soup website! These folks love to talk about
their great products and back their commitment up with gazillions
of testimonials. They have lots of recipes to enhance their products,
lots of different soups and -- well just visit their website and see
for yourself. The free sample is a GREAT deal and they do send you
even more freebies when you order something along with the free sample.
Two tips I want to pass on -- to order even the free sample, you need to go to the bottom of the home page. Keep going -- and read all of the fun and interesting tidbits until you reach the point for placing your order. Also -- even though this Quebec-based company says it takes two weeks to get your order -- mine was delivered in South Carolina in three days, leaving me more than enough time to sample and prepare for my upcoming mom-in-law test.
See, I always spend a lot of time and effort coming up with a new soup to outdo the old soup -- just for mom. I have a feeling she won't know what hit her. But, I will confess and then stock her suitcase with her own supply. Stay tuned for the results!
