Ok, so I go to the store every morning to get something cheap and relatively healthy to eat for lunch. I've been eating a lot of soup at work because no one in my family but me likes it. I used to have a wide selection of choices from the Campbell's Soup selection, but recently I've gone Pescetarian, which means I don't eat meat, except fish. I will eat cheese, eggs, milk and other animal by-products, but nothing that requires the death of the animal.
For simplicity sake, I generally look for vegetarian meals, especially with soup. I like fish soups - clam chowder, shrimp gumbo (provided there is no sausage). But generally I have to be in the right mood for those.
Anyway, my reasons for why I have gone pescetarian are not important to you. But for this very short post it is important because Campbell's does not have any strictly vegetable soups that I can find. Not even a regular vegetable. So I've switched to Progresso, who do make six or seven different vegetarian soups.
For the record, I love Split Pea soup. So when I saw the above can I was instantly excited that I'd get to have split pea soup for lunch. But as I was about to grab the can I noticed something wrong. Did you see it? If not, here it is:
Now, I know that "Vegetable Classics" does not say, explicitly, "Vegetarian," but I don't think I'm the only one who would've assumed it was vegetarian. And for those of you who haven't made the connection yet - this includes you Progresso - Bacon is not a vegetable. So this Vegetable Classic is flavored with meat.
Oh well. That's one less soup I can enjoy.
