When Progresso launched its Pitmaster line, the response was immediate and huge. The new soup flavors flew off store shelves. Now, the General Mills brand adds two new flavors. For ranch lovers, the Progresso Pitmaster Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Soup with Hidden Valley Ranch will part of their weekly menu rotation.
Progresso’s Pitmaster soup stands out with its inherent grilled flavors. From hearty meats to robust vegetables, every spoonful feels as if it came straight from the backyard barbecue. While no one is suggesting that stock pot sit on the grates for hours, Progresso’s meals did all that heavy lifting. People just need to heat and eat.
Speaking about the new Pitmaster soup flavors, Karyn Christianson, Business Unit Director for Progresso at General Mills said, “This year, we’re taking Progresso Pitmaster in two exciting directions, from the unmistakable taste of Hidden Valley Ranch to the satisfying bite of a bacon cheeseburger. Together, they show just how much possibility there is in bringing BBQ-inspired favorites to the soup aisle.”
Ranch Makes This Progresso Pitmaster Soup Even More Flavorful
While the world became obsessed with ranch on everything, the bowl was usually the dipping vessel. Now, it holds the most tasty ranch forward soup.
Progresso’s Pitmaster New Grilled Chicken Bacon Ranch Soup is more than just a serving of Hidden Valley Ranch with a side of chicken. Yes, that iconic tangy, herby, rich ranch comes through in every serving. But, the signature Pitmaster grilled flavors are equally as prevalent.
The grilled chicken, smoked bacon, potatoes, and celery feel like the best parts of a classic homecooked meal. It is that comfort food dish that is perfect for brisk days or when you need a little pick me up.
Plus, each can has 15g of protein. It might not top the protein-maxing list, but it checks the protein requirement.
Thinking about this Pitmaster flavor, it would be best served with a hearty country loaf. Or, a classic Parker House roll would be nice. Any type of bread that can soak up any last bit of soup on the bottom of the bowl is a requirement.
Progresso Pitmaster Adds Another New Soup Flavor for Fall
While the Hidden Valley Ranch infused soup gets a lot of attention, another flavor will quickly become a favorite. Progresso Pitmaster Charbroiled Bacon Cheeseburger Soup delivers that favorite meal flavor without all the extra bun carbs.
From the beef patty crumbles, smoked bacon, potatoes, and cheddar cheese, this soup has all the hearty grilled meat flavor without having to light the flame. More importantly, every spoonful tastes like a real homecooked meal, not the drive-thru.
With the cheddar cheese, the soup’s viscosity is amazing. There is an extra creaminess that feels even more satisfying. It might not be that viral cheese pull, but it adds a tasty gooey factor.
Overall, this soup would be great as a fall tailgate option. Even though soup would not replace nachos on the menu, it is a hearty choice that checks all the boxes. Plus, it is a lot easier to heat up a crockpot of soup that deal with hot coals at the end of a tailgate.
Both new Progresso Pitmaster soups are in stores now. Check with retailers for availability and pricing.
