This is, like the label says, a rich & hearty soup. It's thick & creamy & has a great clam taste. It's one of my favorites of all the Progresso soups. I do add some Old Bay seasoning & other spices, but add spices & herbs to just about everything you get out of a can. It makes it taste more like homemade. I'll definitely be buying this again in the future. It makes a great lunch, with or without a sandwich.
