Amy's vegetarian products always attract me, as they should anyone who doesn't eat meat, but the line is a mixed bag, not like a reliable brand for anything you see. Quite some while ago I felt the Lentil (and other of Amy's soups) were something you'd only eat because you're vegetarian like me, but regular brands like Progresso are also vegan and much better; and since Amy's cost more they should be top of the line for flavor and not one of these soups is a stand-out. I had stopped buying it because of the price. But lately I ordered a case of the Lentil and was startled it's way better than Progresso or just about any lentil, and I don't know if my attitude has changed, or what I suspect, Amy's has been improving the product. It's now my fave lentil soup that can be gotten from a can.
