Campbell's V8 Golden Butternut Squash Soup — 

I love squash soup and was so excited to try this. We drink V8, the fruit kind and love it, so I thought the soup would be good, too . Campbells's V8 Golden Butternut Squash soup comes in a box, not a can. Really, it has all the makings of a great soup. A great company, a full serving of vegetables, no preservatives and butternut squash! In a box!

But sadly, for me anyway, this soup is just mediocre in taste. The texture is not smooth and creamy, but more like soft oatmeal. I could deal with that if the flavor was there. This Campbells V8 soup is so bland, I had to put a lot of salt in it. I never add salt to store bought soup! I expected so much more from Campbells V8.  The description on the back of the box calls it mellow-sweet. Unless this is code for bland and tasteless, the box is wrong!  

Campbells's V8 Butternut Squash soup may be healthy and offer up a full serving of vegetables, but there are much tastier ways to be healthy.

Thanks, I would love the recipe! There is nothing like homemade soup.

I've tried it and agree. If you have a blender or food processor, your own squash soup is so much better and pretty easy to prepare. If you need a recipe let me know.
