I like Health Smart's Cream of Tomato, Proti-Thin's Cream of chicken and their Broccoli Cheese soup.
They are not like IP, but they are ok. I always sautee mushrooms and red peppers with garlic and pepper, then pour the mixed soup into the pan so it gets the saute flavor. I add a little more salt and pepper. I add curry powder into the chicken soup.
With these additions, they all taste good to me! I also do this with the IP soups.
Note: the Proti-thin broccoli soup is not really like the IP version. Adjust your expectations. But the price is less than half of the IP and it works just fine. I incorporate some Ip broccoli cheese soup and a la king twice a week for a treat!

Thanks so much! I haven't had any IP products at all, so I am open to all suggestions with little expectations! And thanks for the ideas for additions - just getting to the point of looking for new ideas
