This lentil soup is simple and delicious - my favorite Amy's soup.  It also happens to be vegan, and it comes in a BPA-free can. Try it!

For those of you who love split pea soup, this is a great one.  It also happens to be vegan, and it comes in a BPA-free can. 

Ingredients: FILTERED WATER, ORGANIC TOMATO PUREE, ORGANIC CARROTS, ORGANIC POTATOES, ORGANIC CORN, ORGANIC PASTA (ORGANIC SEMOLINA FLOUR, WATER), ORGANIC GREEN BEANS, SEA SALT, ORGANIC ONIONS, ORGANIC CANE SUGAR, ORGANIC BLACK PEPPER.

This soup does include cane sugar as an ingredient, but I'm including it here because it's an awesome soup and does not have hidden MSG or additives. It doesn't have much sugar added (in fact it has less total sugar than some of Amy's other soups with no added sugar), but if you're avoiding sugar entirely then try one of Amy's other great soups instead!

Note: the ingredient list on this soup recently changed (it now says "ORGANIC SPICE" instead of "ORGANIC BLACK PEPPER") but I emailed the company and they assured me that the ingredients have not changed.  They also said:

"When we list "spices" we mean herbs and spices....like thyme, oregano, nutmeg etc."

Ingredients: FILTERED WATER, ORGANIC MUSHROOMS, ORGANIC ONIONS, ORGANIC WHEAT FLOUR, ORGANIC SAFFLOWER AND/OR SUNFLOWER OIL, ORGANIC LEEKS, ORGANIC BUTTER, ORGANIC CREAM, ORGANIC SPICES*, SEA SALT, ORGANIC GARLIC, BAY LEAVES. Contains wheat and milk. *100% pure herbs & spices (no hidden ingredients)

Mushroom soup perfect served hot or mixed into casseroles - the possibilities are endless!  Note: the ingredients on this soup differ between Canada and the USA so check carefully.

​

When Amy's lists "spices" in their ingredients, they often specify that they use 100% herbs and spices (at least here in Canada) in recognition of the fact that "spices" usually means it contains additives or processed free glutamate. I haven't had a problem with their soups that are labelled this way so I'd vouch for these products not containing hidden ingredients. However, Amy's does have some soups that list "spices" without specifying "100% herbs and spices" - I have not tried those ones so I'm not sure if they contain additives or processed free glutamate.

Eden Foods makes so many awesome products with organic ingredients, no hidden MSG or sugar and no additives.  I haven't actually tried their chili (my husband makes amazing chili so I don't have a reason to) but I would trust Eden to make great chili with the best ingredients.  They have a few other before natural varieties to choose from as well, all in BPA free cans.
