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...

Smiley360 Review: Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project

So recently, I was chosen for Smiley360's " Kikkoman Juicy Bird Project ". In this we were to brine a chicken or turkey using Kikkoman Soy Sauce. Although I received these items to review for free, this is entirely my own opinion. I also apologize ahead of time for my usually horrible pictures as my cell phone has trouble in low light. I think it's time to start using a proper camera! "Experience the taste of umami in your meals with Kikkoman Soy Sauce . Try cooking with this dynamic sauce in traditional Asian dishes, mainstream American foods, classic Mediterranean dishes, Caribbean cuisine, or even to brine poultry." I've never brined poultry before, so I was excited to participate. I received not only 2 coupons for a free bottle of Kikkoman Soy Sauce, but a 5 gallon brining bucket as well. First, here's the recipe that was recommended: Kikkoman Chicken Brine Recipe Ingredients 2 cups Kikkoman Soy Sauce 2 Gallons water 1...

BzzAgent Review: Special K Nourish Hot Cereal and Nutrition Bars

Another review for the amazing BzzAgent website for Special K Nourish. As always, although I was provided this product for free, this is my own opinion. I was actually really excited to be able to try these. Ever since I started losing weight, I've been eating a lot of hot cereal and nutritional bars. I really like Special K's other products, and was hoping that I would be adding something new to my breakfast/lunch routine. First, let's go over the facts about Special K Nourish. The hot cereal is made with a multi-grain blend of quinoa, oats, barley and wheat. It's packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins A, C and E. It's only 190 calories and comes in Cranberry Almond, Maple Brown Sugar and Cinnamon Raisin Pecan. Each cup comes with a section filled with nuts or fruit to mix in after cooking. The bars are between 160-180 calories and come in Lemon Twist, Cranberry Almond and Dark Chocolate Nut. So on to the good and bad. The good? I love the idea of...
