My favourite is the chili also. I can do the IP spaghetti once in a while, but I much prefer making my own spaghetti sauce with lots of veggies and enjoy with miracle noodles for supper. The stew, I tried and promptly returned, didn't like it either.
The tomato-basil soup is probably the less horrible of all soups, but there is still that weird taste to it & the colour is just not appetising to me.
I like the drinks, orange & blueberry, pom, cran. and I like the ready-made chocolate pudding. oatmeal is a top choice for me. Most of my IP meals are shakes that I choose to make with alternative Whey Protein Powders. They are very effective, as well as penny-saving.
I try to stay away from restricted items tho. Cause they are just too, too tempting and if they are in my house, they I'll take one of those, instead of a better choice. I keep restricted items (I call 'em "treats") such as bars for my TOM or on weekends, since weekends I find very difficult on IP. I treat myself with "treats" on weekends.

So, I've been doing IP since late January, have been losing successfully, unless I trip & cheat (which I'm not proud of, but have done).
I do IP with a mix of both IP products and similar but "alternative" products. Mostly Protein Powders. But I've also tried a few very low carb-high protein bars which I really enjoyed and cost less than IP bars. I am very vigilant about reading labels & ingredients, so it's all good. Time actually can get away from me while in a Natural/Health store, reading and comparing labels of all of their protein products ;)

I have not tried the chicken soup and somehow, I don't really feel like I want to right now.

The mushroom soup was okay (to me) with added mushrooms, sea salt and pepper added.

The leek soup was pretty good (to me) but I cooked some leek and celery (I had no onion or I would have put some of that too) on the side in some olive oil, then I added it to the soup and used my hand blender to mix it all up. I seasoned it with sea salt and pepper.

I found that the tomato basil was horrible (to me) on it's own (with some added veggies) but much much much improved just with garlic powder, more basil, 1 tsp tomato paste, 1 capful apple cider vinegar, sea salt and black pepper (which I got from a thread about the tomato basil soup).

I love the chocolate drink box and I really look forward to it as my evening snack. I've also been having it for breakfast during the work week. The vanilla drink box was okay in the morning but I didn't like it as much at night for some reason... I felt I had a medicine taste in my mouth after having it but I think that had to do with my entering Ketosis and not the drink. I will try it again soon.

The cereal is meh-okay. I preferred it over the soup after a few days of soups. You have to continuously stir or it gets powdery.

I hope to try some of the other products soon.

I love the vanilla pudding with extra water and a couple shakes of nutmeg and cinnamon! Tastes like egg nog!
