Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Soup Review

A few days ago, I received a package from Smiley360 for their Campbell's Slow Kettle Style Soup. As usual, although I was provided this product for free, but this is my own opinion.


The free sample I received had the Southwest Style Chicken Chili (with Black Beans and and Sweet Corn). The box also included a bunch of $2.00 off coupons, a pair of really comfy socks, and card explaining the mission. I'm not a big soup eater, but I am crazy about chili. It's time to put this one to the test!


The instructions give you the option to cook on stovetop or microwave, and I chose microwave. They also advised to cover it with plastic wrap, but since I've had issues with that in the past (it popping off even with a hole to vent and soup getting everywhere), I just used a paper towel. No mess whatsoever.

The taste of this is really good, and doesn't taste like how a lot of canned soup tastes. The soup is nice and thick, with a bold flavor and a bit of a kick to it (from jalapeno peppers and chipotle pepper, according to the ingredients). I loved that it was packed with beans, corn, bits of green pepper and chunks of chicken. Plus, they don't use any preservatives.

The soup comes in a 15.7 ounce bowl, which is listed as two servings at 190 calories a serving. That's 380 calories if you eat the whole bowl like I had. It also has a lot of sodium (740mg per serving), so steer clear if you are monitoring your sodium intake.


The soups aren't cheap, about $3 to $4 per. The taste is great, but I'm not sure it's something I would purchase frequently without a coupon. Luckily, I see coupons pop up on various coupon sites pretty frequently.

All in all, I'm happy that I got the opportunity to review this, and will definitely look forward to trying the other flavors! And as a side note, I love the socks included in this campaign as part of Campbell's Slow Kettle Soup slogan, "Slow Down and Savor." Although I won't be wearing these around town, they are perfect for a nice "cuddle up with some hot soup and a good book" moment!

Living with Borderline Personality Disorder

Mental health problems affect around one in four people in any given year. They range from common problems, such as depression and anxiety, to rarer problems such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.    BPD is much more common than you might imagine. A recent study on the prevalence of mental health disorders in the U.S. found that about 1.6 percent of the population has BPD. ... In fact, about 75% of those diagnosed with BPD in the U.S. are women.    I've had Borderline Personality Disorder most of my life, and it definitely has been a struggle. I wanted to go over the main things about it and my personal experiences. I hope maybe this helps someone else that has it, or to help anyone understand it more in general. If you want to share this, please do. Trigger Warning : I will talk about some disturbing and personal things, but I feel it could be good for others and cathartic for myself as well. We have an intense fear of abandonment. So we frantic...

Skeptical Keurig User Turned to the Instant Side

 Here's my reveiw for the Nescafé Memento. A quick note: This package, including samples and coupons, was sent to me by BzzAgent as one of their advertising campaigns. However, this is my own blog and my own opinion on the product. I rarely use instant coffee. I've always been the type who had to have it properly brewed. One who worshiped her Keurig. I just always counted it among those things you use if you ran out of stuff to brew and couldn't swing by a coffee shop. When I received the BzzAgent e-mail to try Nescafé Memento, I figured I would give it a shot, but I was very skeptical. Monitor not included. Now on the box, there is the typical packaging that you see a lot of times for coffee. A nice hot cup with foam. I was actually surprised that, there was actually foam there! It wasn't as much as you would get from a coffeehouse, but the fact there was any was impressive. According to the box, it uses real nonfat milk that is infused with airy bu...

Drug Trials’ Encouraging Results for Borderline Personality Disorder

I wanted to link to a fantastic article over at the Personality Disorders Awareness Network about drug trials that were conducted that show two medications that might be beneficial to those of us with BPD. Unfortunately due to the nature of BPD, there is no medication that can take the place of therapy, especially Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. But medication is a great supplement to help manage our moods like irritability, depression and aggression. This article goes over Zyprexa (Olanzapine) and Seroquel (Quetiapine). http://www.pdan.org/drug-trials-encouraging-results-for-bpd/ Have any of you been on either of these medications? How did it affect you? On a side note, I apologize for the lengthy time between posts and for this sorter post today. Sometimes it is difficult for me to talk about my own dealings with BPD. Next post I hope to cover Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, how it is beneficial, and my own experiences, so keep an eye out in the coming days for that!
