Progresso Soup (Gluten-Free Edition)

You know about this? Progresso has started selling some gluten-free soups. I just wish they weren't so dang high in sodium! I found a low-sodium vegetable soup that was marked gf, but the rest contained waaaaay more sodium than I'm willing to consume in one meal. Hmm. Just realized that the vegetable flavor isn't listed on their website (list below taken from their website). Perhaps more flavors are in the works. Please share if you see any out in the world!

GF flavors currently available:
Southwestern Style Chicken Chowder
Chicken Rice with Vegetables
Chicken Cheese Enchilada Flavor
Manhattan Clam Chowder
New England Clam Chowder
Potato Broccoli Cheese Chowder
99% Fat-Free New England Clam Chowder

Blog (and This Blogger's) Background

I was always an avid home cook and restaurant-goer. From my teens on, my idea of "going out" generally involved some form of social eating. I grew up with a huge extended family that regularly dined together and I was in the kitchen helping my grandmother from an early age.

I often joke that I come from deli royalty, as my family owned one in Brooklyn for almost 30 years - so there was always a ton of good food around. Seemed only natural when I started working in restaurants in my early teens, though an accident with a dull knife and my left index finger ended my back of the house aspirations along the way. I've had pretty much every front of the house position at all types of venues, including a few years at Moosewood Restaurant. In my mid-20's, I started to work in healthcare, and have always maintained a love of food and eating well. In 2010, I melded my passions for health and food by completing a master's in public health nutrition.

After being diagnosed with celiac and DH back in 2003, I didn't go out to eat for three years! I don't even remember how long it was before I felt competent enough in the kitchen again to be a gf hostest with the mostest. But that was 10 years ago; I've changed along with the gf product/knowledge landscape. Back in NYC after many years in upstate NY, I'm committed to having a social eating life again, dishing up good eats at home and enjoying what gf vittles NYC has to offer. As any gf person can appreciate, this involves a fair amount of research and planning. Seems a shame to keep all that I've learned to myself; hence this blog.
