Pacific Foods All Natural Vegetable Lentil and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

This is the second in my trial of Pacific Foods soups. I picked it up because  I have always loved eating lentil soup. I remember growing up and my Mother serving lentil soup. We would often have Progresso.

The description Pacific has for this particular soup is Our Vegetable Lentil and Roasted Red Pepper soup bursts with flavor.  We combine the rich flavors of fire-roasted red peppers with tender lentils, vine-ripened tomatoes and black beans, for a soup that's high in fiber and loaded with protein.  Healthy, hearty and delicious: you'll be more than satisfied.
Here is the soup. You can see the lentils, corn, roasted red pepper and black beans in the soup. It is a simple hearty soup as it is described. I would definately purchase this soup again. This soup reminds me of the soup I had growing up.
This soup, like the Thai Sweet Potato Soup I recently had comes in a 2-serving box. One serving of this soup is 150 calories.

Pacific Natural Foods Thai Sweet Potato Soup

I am a big Butternut Squash Soup fan and have made it as well as purchased the soup. Sometimes the best way to find new things to make is to purchase the meal (whether at a restaurant or in the grocery store) and try it. This time I decided to try Pacific Natural Foods Thai Sweet Potato Soup.
According to the Pacific website this soup's description is Tasting our Thai Sweet Potato soup is like discovering the soul of Thai cooking.  Sweet potatoes and winter squash are combined with South Asian flavors of coconut, lemongrass, lime, red chili pepper and ginger for a mouthwatering treat that will not only awaken your tastebuds, but your sense of adventure.

This soup is very spicy and enjoyable. It has little bits of sweet potato and winter squash floating in the soup. You can also see bright little flecks of red which are the chili pepper. If you want to cool down the spiciness you can also add something such as oyster crackers.

Here is the nutritional information I found on the site
The one thing I would change about this particular soup is the size of the box. I personally feel the size of the carton is too small. I would rather have a larger box for 4 servings.
