We've seen so many strong opinions on these soups, so tell us your thoughts! Have you tried? Do you like?
No. Now tell me where my son is, I demand to know before I get CPS involved to help you with that soup.
Sh*ts gross!! Their worst product.
I like both ideas I feel like y’all podcast would be called “To Be Honest” A signature phrase of y’all’s. I’m def buying the cook book
I make soup on the regular and I find it very simple to throw any veggies, beans, herbs and make it delicious. I also eat canned soup so much because I can eat it at work conveniently! With all the soup I consume, I have to say: THE RATIO DOES MATTER FOR ME LOL!!! I love that you guys discussed this because this makes such a difference! Your descriptions are perfect, so thank you!!
I'm with Larisha, I prefer making my own soup too. (Batch cooking and freezing.) But like Andrew said, for traveling or whatever these would definitely work.
Love the idea of a podcast!
"Dirty water" 😂 ... Andrew sounds like my fiancé now, lol, he's not a soup fan either. Which makes me kind of sad as a soup lover, I've turned a couple of my Grandmothers recipes vegan but rarely make them and then end up freezing most of it when I do. I suppose I should see it as a win - more for me! But I would make them so much more often if we both enjoyed them.
I will happily wait for and later buy a cookbook from you two!! Until then, I visit your blog often - it's all appreciated. ♥
Ty for trying and sharing, I've been super curious about these! Hope you're all having a wonderful week.
I will legit buy any cookbook/ebook you create! My Thanksgiving desserts and rolls came from you and I’m obsessed! Thank you for keeping it real, love you guys!
Another soup taste test would be great! Always a good time watching your videos, guys! Thanks!
I can’t even begin to express how much I’d love for you two to do a podcast!
Aww thanks
I’m old school and love a cookbook I can hold and thumb through the pages ☺️
You guys are so awesome!
I am definitely willing to wait for a high quality cook book from you guys!
I really like these Gardein Soups. Occassionly, they are on sale at my local Sprouts. I usually buy all the flavors. Just had the sausage/gumbo for lunch. Yummy!!!
I would definitely be willing to wait for a hard cover cookbook. I’m not a huge fan of e-books and rarely use the ones I have. However, I use my hard cover cookbooks all the time!
I absolutely love both of you and enjoy everything you do. So with that being said, I would listen to your podcast and purchase your cookbook. You don’t have to take on another project right now, just pick your favorite recipe that you currently have in a cookbook. That way you get a feel for how much of a demand there is. Then whenever you are ready to drop the sequel, you go BIG and HARD with more New recipes. 🥰 Keep being amazing as you both are and thank you for giving us time out of your busy day!!
Yes, I would buy your cookbook. Your food is beautiful.
Finally!!!!! You have been missed. Hope your family had a great holiday. Still trusted from out here on Cali. Lol
Yes, there is a difference between vegetable beef soup and beef stew..2 different things. You guys crack me up!
Wow! The sodium is super high. Several of the soups look like there is just not enough veggies or "meat" in it. I think I'll stick to homemade soup, which can be frozen.
Would love a cookbook!
I totally agree with Andrew about the cookbook, I use a lot of your recipes. I would buy one.
What about a mini ebook? Making focusing one 1 thing, comfort food, soups, easy meals, etc. I think those of us that follow you, want a way to support you guys.
I actually checked earlier today to see if you guys have a cookbook yet. Honestly, it doesn't have to be perfect, I would buy for sure. I actually prefer books heavily over ebooks.
Amy’s soups are my favorites!
The Gardein Skillets are amazing!!!
personally i'm not into podcasts nor do i find that i have enough spare time to listen through a whole episode and actually pay attention to it lol which is def an unpopular opinion!! (even though i love yalls personalities and know you can talk for hours i could sadly never stick to it weekly) but for the cookbook side of things i'm totally into both! a beautiful, hardcover copy could definitely be a goal into next year or maybe even early 2023?? which gives plenty of time to not only create it but build your audience even higher on youtube so more people would be interested. an ebook is great too for now! i don't love using my phone for everything, especially cooking but i already pull up your website and find the recipe pretty fast anyways so i'm not in NEED of an ebook but it would be a cheap, user friendly way to find recipes i guess if you were cooking weekly or even daily especially family-sized vegan meals specifically!
oh and about the actual video, i haven't had any of these soups bc i hate how extremely high sodium canned soups can be but they look delish!! besides the...4 pieces of chikn hahah basically it's definitely better to make your own soup and throw in a bag of vegan chicken.
I just bought 2 but haven’t tried them yet - curious to hear your thoughts!
I'd LOVE a podcast!
I love all your content. The recipes are more family friendly & easy to obtain ingredients. I can wait a year for your cookbook. Just sayin' 😌
haha noted!
I can only get the be'f stew and chik noodle in my boondock town. I love the be'f stew! I put it on top of mashed potatoes! Also, now I am really wanting to try the gardein beef tips, I have never seen those!!
I'm a huge fan of the bef n vegetable, and bother the sausage gumbo and minestrone as a truck driver I have them in stocked in my truck all the time along with Amy's soups and chilis
Thanks for the video, I had already tried the chicken and rice one, I hated the smell and I could not finish the salt content is horrible in those soups, there’s salt in lots of canned and frozen foods but that’s the worst.
I'd love to see a "championship of soups" (series of videos)-- do some of the top brands (each with a different video on its own), decide your top from that brand, and then rank those tops in another video.
I love Gardein sausage products so naturally I enjoy those soups. I do cut the five sausage bites in half and I add crushed red pepper to the soups. I generally have them while camping and at work.
Ebooks are good and I would still love to be a tester.
I’d wait for a cookbook
I like the gumbo kind just want more sausages and rice, too much broth left over :/ but I disliked the wild rice one I believe and was disappointed by the chicken noodle. I don’t hate them though and they’re nice for a quick meal but to fill me up I have to add some more sides to it. I have them every so often! I appreciate the protein content
I would wait for a hardcover book. I'd be one of the first to get on the waiting list.
I’ve been too scared to try these with some bad reviews but if Andrew didn’t think they were gross I’d probably like them 😂
They smelled like dog food to me. I hated them! Lol
@@conejitaaa 😨😨
I would love to be a tester for the cookbook.
We actually took some camping I know the Sodium is high. Amy’s has a great canned chili I love it for camping too! There not the worst but at the end of the day it served it’s purpose on our trip. I love the gardein beef tips that’s in the bag so I like the beef one better than the chicken.
I’ve only tried a few. I like the sausage and minestrone one and the chicken rice one but I did not really like the gumbo one it wasnt horrible but to me it still didn’t taste good. I still trust y’all lol everyone has different tastebuds
If you said that you were starting to work on a cookbook I would expect to see it for at least a year. If I remember correctly (I could be wrong) but Lauren Toyota of Hot for Food said her first cookbook took about a year. I would love to see a cookbook from you guys but I know it would take awhile. If you released an e-book I would expect it to be a collection of your previous recipes, maybe by theme (like "Holidays" or "Quick Dinners"), with a couple of new recipes thrown in.
I’ve only had the beef and vegetable and the chicken noodle soup but I think they’re pretty solid for canned soups. Where I buy them, they’re closer to $3.00 so I don’t buy them very often but they are a good option if you want something that you can heat and serve quickly. Gardein is probably my favorite brand since I have tried a variety of their products and they have a good amount of solid products to choose from compared to some other brands. Also if you do an e-book or a full cookbook, I would love to see a vegan pepperoni roll recipe in there since I haven’t had them since I left West Virginia 4 years ago!😊
Overall, they aren’t bad…great to have around for an occasional quick meal. I’m not too fond of the chicken ones, but I would definitely buy the other flavors. I’d really like to try Upton’s and see how they compare.
As far as the cookbook, I’d rather wait for the one Andrew has envisioned…it will definitely be one I’d want in my collection. ☮️💜🌱
I've been curious about the new Upton's soups and haven't tried a lot of the Amys ones. A soup taste test vid would be awesome! As for the gardein soups I wasn't a fan of the minestrone but I do like the chickn noodle and the gumbo.
Upton Italian wedding is decent. Tastes the way a health food store smells.
@@pineconey Hmm interesting.. I'll have to try it out if I see it!
I love soup. I make my own in the pressure cooker using guardian as the protein.
I would rather wait for a quality cookbook to add to my collection 💕 especially from my second favourite Andrew
Since I learned how to make my own soup from scratch canned soup is a thing of the past. Progresso was my favorite brand before I was converted.
Soup is my favorite food group. I've run across the occasional non soup person but they are a rare species 😃😊🙂
I did notice the bad reviews on this as well. I tried the gumbo one and didn't mind it. I'm with you larisha, I would rather make my own, but out of convenience this wouldn't be a bad option.
Haha I hear you Andrew, $3.49 is kind of pricey. But in my area, I find it goes on sale frequently
I wish you had tried the chili too. I have a can in my cabinet and was excited you would try it first.
I didn’t even know there was a chili! I’m going to look for it.
Campbell's makes a vegetable beef soup and it was soup. Mostly broth and a teeny amout of solids
I liked all of the soups. You have to try the Amy's Brand Soup. They are amazing. Especially the Lentil ❤❤❤.
Agree! Love the Amy's soup (make sure you get the vegan ones).
When this soup goes on sale, I like to have a couple in my cabinet for when I’m sick and don’t want to cook
Nice
16:30, I caught my sausage but I lost it 🤣
“Ive never tasted sausage soup” 😂😂 i can appreciate the convenience of these soups but id definitely rather make a home made. && Gumbo is absolutely spicy
LOL
So I love them all except for the chicken ones. The chicken has a really weird aftertaste. The beef veg is my fav. And I agree the beef pieces should be smaller. I always end up cutting them up. I understand you can easily make soups butttt canned soups are very convenient - heat and serve. Honestly I had been hoping faux meat soups would be something brands would come out with because I'm tired of Progresso vegetarian veg and tomato soup. Lol and I feel like compared to regular canned soups. It's not supposed to be beef stew. It's beef vegetable soup. Lots of broth.
Canned soups usually contain too much salt. I have to make from scratch. But, I enjoy all of your videos. More meal recipes please.
Thanks, more to come!
Hello ! I love y’all’s channel!!! I really plan on going Vegan in the year 2022 , could y’all help me?
Andrew is trying to get that Gardein brand deal LMAO. You guys are hilarious.
I like homemade soup, too. The canned soup has too much sodium for me. If love an in depth Andrew cookbook, filled with his baking wisdom. If you do a podcast, I'd listen. ☺
Have you all tried the chili? I thought it was weird, but my husband loved it. I haven't tried the soups yet cause I wasn't a big fan of the chili. 😕
I world buy a hard copy of a book, because it would look nice in my collection and be handy in my kitchen, but I probably wouldn't bother to buy an ebook. I'd just keep using your website. 🤷
I’ve tried I believe 3 flavors of the soup, and I’m definitely a fan. I do add a little extra salt 🤦🏻♀️ I know, no hate please, and I add saltines. I still need to try the last 2, but in my opinion they’re good. I don’t understand the bad reviews unless it’s re: the ratio of veggies & vegan meat, but not with flavor. I can say though, for me, I’m more about the veggies, rice & broth over “meat” chunks.
I would listen to a podcast and/or purchase a cookbook.
Have you guys tried the Upton's or Plantstrong soups? Plantstrong is a really good (vegan) option for people looking for low sodium and oil free. I like both of those quite a bit and, of course, Amy's, too - it's a classic brand for soups. That chili, though. The Gardein soups were fine IMO, but I would rank lower than all three of those and think it's probably at the bottom of my list for Gardein products. The soups just don't live up to the tastiness of their other products such as the Ultimate line or f'sh filets.
Try the uptons ones!
I like the soups
missed the taste tests!!
video ideas
protein powder taste test
nut butter taste test
protein shake / dessert recipes
eating challenges!
Given how many times you guys have said you don't like something, I still trust your opinions. 🤣
I would love a kitchen tool/appliance/gadget review type thing. What you use and why💕
In regards to the first can of soup you tasted, the beef and vegetable, there definitely is a “beef and vegetable soup” on the market! Sometimes it has barley in it it’s called beef vegetable and barley soup. I’ve had the Gardein soup and I do not think it supposed to be “beef stew“ but I will say that I would cook extra rice and serve it on top and use it as a beef stew, even though I don’t think that’s the what they intended. It halo stretch the high price by serving over rice. I think they are quite tasty considering they’re trying to mimic something that had meat.
Great idea with the rice
Will you look into noocy licious
What is minstrun? Minestrone?
Traditional beef soup is on the thicker side it is very much like Larisha described. Beef stew is heavier in every aspect.
I thought they were decent for a fast, warm option with a good amount of protein. They were on the pricey side here considering it's a canned option. I like Annie's vegan options (fewer) but a little cheaper and like flavors better.
My son bought me a can of the soups and I haven’t eaten it because one can is your entire days worth of sodium
Not Andrew being a hater the entire video 🤣 🤣🤣
I'm not likely to come across those soups but if I did, I don't think I'll buy them anyway. Sausage soup!? ... no. I've never liked chicken noodle soup so I won't miss out. The only soup I tend to buy in cans when I'm not well would be lentil soup.
Soups are the easiest most delicious things to make as a vegan, I just don't know how these companies aren't "wowing" with their products. These soups should be blowing our minds.
Also, isn't it pronounced minəˈstrōnē with a long e at the end or is that just a cute way you say it?
I'm glad to see this going on, but I think Gardein meat doesn't lend itself well to soups as it's too mushy. Favorite so far, though, is the chicken.
Campbell soups make a beef vegetable soup. As a meat eater, I liked beef stew but hated the beef vegetable soup.
Another great video and I must say that I have to side with Andrew. I'm not a fan of soup at all. It is so weird to have all of those things together soaking in liquid🤢.
The chicken noodle is my favorite.
I haven't heard good things so I'm prob gonna pass on these.
But I'm glad they will work in a pinch, if needed.
Gumbo is between a soup and a stew. It is gumbo if there is okra.
Italian wedding is the best flavor
Glad you like it
The beef soup has more liquid in it because it’s probably you didn’t let it cook enough for the liquid to vaporize
Has it snowed on y’all yet?
The lion king!
The soups were such a disappointment. Most of their other products are usually on point, but these were bad. I've used their teriyaki strips to make soups before and it was so much better. What makes it worse is that they are so expensive.
I have had one of these soups and I did think it was too revolting to eat. Granted, I have a much stronger memory of what meat tastes like than you guys probably do.
If you did mini books focused on themes like bread or soup it might be a manageable task and more practical for the user. I am not trying to drag out a ten pound giant book that costs $40 on to the counter while I cook getting everything dirty, taking up a bunch of space, and I have to focus on cooking while trying to read and protect the book. I know he's a perfectionist and the quality of your videos is very high, but the type of book he would make a piece of art and you don't set a beautiful painting next to your stand mixer.
You have not had gumbo? I thought you were from Jamaica?
I hated the beef one but the chicken flavors I keep home for nights I don’t want to cook, they’re not amazing but good
I should mention they have these soups in Kroger so you don't have to go to whole foods
Those canned soups are so salty. They are great as starter soups. I add onions, potatoes, limas, kale, corn and whatever veggies available with milk or veggie stock. I turn that small can of soup into a big pot of soup.
vegetable beef soup and stew are 2 different products there are all kinds of beef soups traditionally a stew is thicker than a soup
Most canned vegan stuff tends to be pretty bad if you don’t spice it up. Not sure why. Guess it’s like any other canned goods. That might be a good idea, though, canned products that are actually good.
I tried the chikin noodle and chikin and rice and both lacked flavor. Was too bland for me to buy again.
Canned soup is a rip off. To much sodium. Not enough substance. I make awesome soups. One of my favorite things to cook. I have turned all my old recipes into plant based soups. So satisfying.
How much did Gardein pay you for this video? (you really should mention when a video is sponsored, thank you). Also the way she pronounces Minestrone is priceless
Unfortunately,the beef soup I had was almost all broth. When I make soup,I put alot of veggies in it. I will not buy again.
Chili without beans smell like dog food but it is the best vegan chili I've had yet the Gardein
