We love this Progresso Rich & Hearty New England Clam Chowder. It is thick and creamy and the taste is excellent. It is gluten free, there is nu MSG added and there are no artificial flavors. It is ready to serve right out of the can. YOU DO NOT add water like with other soups. In this case just heat and serve and you have delicious bowl of clam chowder with lots of clams and potatoes. About 180 calories per serving and there are two servings in the can. This is no a low diet type soup but rather one that is rich and tasty. Can't go wrong with this Progresso New England Calm Chowder.
