Broccoli Cheese Soup Review

I have been wanting to try THRIVE's Broccoli Cheese Soup for quite some time.  I heard good things about it, but I'm always skeptical about food storage entrees so I just bought a pouch of this soup to test it out.  I was hoping it would be good enough to merit being put into my 72 hour kit and to add to my home store.

This soup was so easy to make.  All you have to do to make 6 servings is to boil 3 cups of water and then whisk the mix in.  I was surprised with how thick and creamy the soup is.  It has a nice cheesy flavor and is as good as any other broccoli cheese soup I have tried.  My 5 year old son who doesn't even like broccoli gave this soup an enthusiastic thumbs up. My 2 year old daughter proclaimed that she hated soup when I announced what we were having for dinner, but after much coaxing she tried it and liked it too!  I served this soup with bread sticks and carrots and that made for a very hearty dinner.  Even my husband was full afterwards and he is usually a bottomless pit!  I could also see using this soup in a casserole, over rice, or even over pasta.

So, our little taste test was a great success and I highly recommend this soup to anyone looking for a good hearty entree to add to their food storage.  I am definitely going to buy some #10 cans of this soup for our home store.  I'm also going to get some Broccoli Cheese Soup pouches for our 72 hour kits.  It was hearty enough that it could easily fill our empty tummies even without the bread sticks and carrots and it will be very easy to make in an emergency.  

If you are interested in trying some of this soup, the party prices are:
#10 can:  $38.59 (48 servings)
Pantry can:  $14.59 (11 servings)
Pouch:   $8.09 (6 servings)
