"Consisting of potatoes, green beans, kale, corn, carrots, onion, peppers, and celery in a tomato-based broth, the soup was hardly hearty. Not only is there no real protein to fill you up, but the veggies were cut so small that they all but disappeared. Furthermore, the ratio of broth to veggies was far too large, so the majority of each spoonful was liquid."
"Ironically, our first impression was an overly acidic tomato taste with abrasive garlic and spices. But after a few slurps, the broth became completely flavorless. Considering Pacific Food's organic label is on the pricey side, this soup is certainly not worth the cost."
"We found disappointed reviews from Walmart customers, who also bemoan the taste and texture of Pacific Food's organic hearty vegetable soup. Mushy veggies were a common theme in their complaints. One Walmart customer commented on the consistency of the broth, stating, 'the soup was kind of runny. I wish it was a little thick.'"
A taste test evaluation of ten store-bought vegetable soups ranked Pacific Foods organic hearty vegetable soup as the worst option. The evaluation criteria included broth thickness, ingredient diversity, price, texture, and flavor. While Pacific Foods uses organic, whole, and natural ingredients, the soup disappoints in execution. The vegetable pieces are cut too small and become nearly invisible, the broth-to-vegetable ratio heavily favors liquid, and there is insufficient protein for satiety. The tomato-based broth initially tastes overly acidic with harsh garlic and spices, then becomes flavorless. Given the premium organic pricing, the soup fails to deliver value. Customer reviews from Walmart corroborate these findings, with complaints about mushy vegetables and runny broth consistency.
