Oprah Has a New Line of Soups and Sides

They look pretty tasty!

I've never been a fan of "hiding" extra veggies in foods for nutritional value alone. I like vegetables and their flavors and think they should be made stars! That said, if you already have a veggie dish and you just want to cram in more nutrients, I suppose that's a good idea; I do that with smoothies, after all, and I don't want my smoothies to taste like greens, which is why I add in plenty of fruit.

Oprah Winfrey has a new line of soups and sides with "hidden" veggies, but most of them are already veggie-based, and they look pretty good! Soups like baked potato, butternut squash, broccoli cheddar and tomato basil all have hidden nutrients like carrots, cauliflower and sweet potatoes. Sides like mashed potatoes, alfredo and cheesy pasta contain cauliflower, white beans and/or butternut squash. They all contain no artificial flavors and look more nutritionally sound than many similar products, although there are still more ingredients than I like to see.

Will you be trying this new line of products? As a soup lover, I am excited to try a couple of them out. Let us know what you think of them in the chat!
