Bertolli Soup Meals Easy Weeknight Dinner
Friday, January 27, 2012 Posted by Aleksandra Nearing
Lily and I hit the store after work/school and picked up a Tomato Florentine and Tortellini with Chicken soup. I thought it would go well with some crusty french baguettes (I keep a stash in my freezer from Costco - they rock!) and fresh blueberries and strawberries with whipped cream.
Bertolli's meal soup was super easy to prepare - pour contents into a pot and add one cup of water. Bring to boiling. Could it get any easier? There was an option to prepare in the microwave, too.
Meanwhile, while the soup simmered and heated, I toasted my french bread and whipped up some cream. I think every meal needs some fresh herbs, so I topped our soup with fresh chopped parsley. Fresh herbs add a great touch to pre-prepared foods!
We enjoyed the meal and were very satisfied with the portions. Personally, I thought the soup was a bit salty for my taste and would love it if Bertolli would offer a lower-sodium option. Adam, however, thought it tasted just fine. The dinner and dessert disappeared within minutes and we went about our evening chores. I enjoyed creating a quick, easy and delicious meal "from scratch" for our busy weeknight.
BUY IT
Check out the product locator on Bertolli's website to find a store near you. I found mine in the freezer section of Publix for less than $6. Varieties include Chicken Minestrone, Roasted Chicken and Rotini Pasta, Tomato Florentine and Tortellini with Chicken, and Tuscan Style Beef and Vegetables.

I love the dessert too. Yum.
The question is - Why do convenience foods like these always seem to go heavy on the sodium?

I've never heard of these soups before! It definitely looks good, especially with your crusty French bread. And wow, that dessert--I haven't had berries and whipped cream in so long!

Oh yum! You had the same one, but you sure made a beautiful dessert to go along with it! Delicious idea. I didn't find mine salty, so I gotta side with your hubs here. ;)

Looks like a delicious meal! It really is hard some night to cook from scratch. It is nice to find a tasty alternative for when you just don't have time!
