I’m going to take a short break from my honeymoon posts to bring you an exciting contest and giveaway!
When the lovely people at Progresso and MyBlogSpark
asked me to review some of their light and 100-calorie soups, I of course jumped at the chance! I’ve been eating these amazing soups for years, and I was very excited to try some of the newer ones they’ve come up with. As I eat them, I’ll make sure to let you know what I think!
In addition, they asked me to share with you all an amazing contest that they are putting on for the new year. Rather than trying to “Readers Digest” the rules and prizes, I’ll just copy and paste what the website says, as it’s a truly fabulous contest:
“Three grand prize winners will be awarded a trip for two to New York City from May 21st-23rd. The prize includes roundtrip airfare, a two-night stay in a NYC hotel, a full makeover, a $1,000 wardrobe shopping spree and personal consultation at a New York department store.
“To enter, you’ll need to do the following:
- Go to www.Progresso.com/SouperYou to learn more and enter the contest
- Submit your essay (200 characters or less) telling Progresso why you love Progresso Light or 100 Calorie Soups and why you would like a makeover
- In addition, please submit a photo of yourself that visually reinforces the theme of your essay
“Once you enter, you’ll have the chance for your photo and/or an excerpt from your essay to appear on www.Progresso.com/SouperYou, so be sure to check back frequently! Once the 10 finalists are announced, you can visit www.Progresso.com/SouperYou from March 29 through April 12 to vote for your favorite.
“In addition, throughout the duration of the contest you can visit www.Progresso.com/SouperYou to download a coupon for $1 off any three varieties of Progresso Soup!
As if this weren’t enough of a contest, the same Progresso and MyBlogSpark folks have offered to send a “Souper You” prize pack to one What’s For Dinner reader! The pack includes two cans of their 100-calorie or reduced fat soups, a soup mug, and a digital counting jumprope:
- Tweet this: “I want to win a SouperYou pack from @imadedinner http://tinyurl.com/souperyou” and comment again that you’ve done so
- Link back in your blog (if you have one) about the contest and comment again that you’ve done so

Winner will be announced on Sunday, January 10! Good luck!

Mara,
Chili is my favorite! I consider it soup anyway, the way I make it. It’s hearty and filling and so comforting!
Thanks for the chance!

Chicken noodle warms me right up!
The veggie one!!!!

My Mom always made what we called “garbage soup.” It always had a beef stock base(homemade) with veggies and bits of beef, but it tasted a little different each time she made it. I’m sure it was thrifty and I know she saved leftovers in a container marked “soup” that she kept in the freezer. It was more a stoup cause we liked our soups thick and hearty. Anyway it came with crusty bread and Parmesan cheese, yum!
Thanks for the giveaway and welcome back sadie, sadie married lady!
Love their Italian wedding soup. It is so good but I love plain vegetable too. Super cool soup mug!
