Microwavable, in the container soup. The specimen today is Progresso Minestrone. Which is a Betty Crocker product.
Serving size is 15.x ounces, of which 14.x ounces is broth/water, so it’s not all that filling. This isn’t a Chunky soup, so maybe my view is a little skewed. If this is all you have you’ll still be hungry.
Would I eat this again? If I had too, it’s not my favorite. But I’d certainly eat it before I’d skip it. I would willingly try other flavors in the future though. This small thing of soup contains 930mg of Sodium, which seems like a lot to me.

| Category | Rating (1-10) with 10 being the best. |
Notes |
| Portion Size | 6 | Overall a decent portion size. But could be a little better. |
| Portability | 9 | Fits fairly well in a small soft sided thermal lunch box. You still have room for snacks and what-not. Nice and compact. |
| Cookability | 9 | The time indicated on the box is spot on. 2 Minutes to soup. |
| Preparation | 9 | Drop dead simple, pull the lid off, open the can, replace lid. Zap. Lid keeps the stuff from blowing up in the Microwave. |
| Food Quality *Taste* |
6 | I realize taste is subjective, and if you didn’t like Minestrone you wouldn’t buy this. For me the taste was simply OK. |
| Over ALL Score | 42 | out of a possible 50 isn’t just barely tolerable. |
