Progresso Creamy Portabella Mushroom Soup

Ok folks, I am sure that many of you use this soup to make your grean bean caseroles and various other recipes that call for mushroom soup. The problem is, that I do not believe they are making it any longer!! :o I have started seeing cans going on discount then the tag is taken off the shelf and the soup is gone!! It isn't even on their website list of products anymore as far as I can see.

I have written a letter to progresso (general mills) however I am sure that one person is not going to make much difference. I think that it might help alot if you other folks who use this soup would also write into the company. So please take a couple of min. to tell them how helpful it is to have the soup in the can instead of slaving over a stove to make a cream base and then only after that is done being able to make the caseroles etc.

Maybe, just maybe if enough of us write, we can get it brought back?? Worth a shot. Thanks for the help!! :D

If you go Open Original Shared Link.....then at the bottom of the page click on contact progresso it should work and you can write your letter to them.

I haven't used this soup, but will take a few minutes to write for the benefit of other Progresso Creamy Portabella Mushroom Soup users :)

Here's my message! :D I used your exact words in the end...

Hello,

I'm writing to inquire as to whether Progresso Creamy Portabella Mushroom Soup has been pulled from your product line.  I am also writing in an attempt to bring back this soup if it is no longer being produced.  I don't see the soup in your product list, which is upsetting as it has been very helpful for me and my celiac friends.

Celiac disease is an intolerance to wheat, rye, and barley.  The tiniest amount of any of these ingredients causes havoc in the intestines of celiacs that takes month to repair.  Thus, many foods must be eliminated from our diets, particularly a majority of the mainstream products.  Your Creamy Portabella Mushroom soup (which has none of these forbidden ingredients) was so helpful...it's much more convenient to have the soup in the can instead of slaving over a stove to make a cream base and then only after that is done being able to make the caseroles, etc.

Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

Thank you Jessica for posting this information, I sent my comments in too, I hope if enough of us do this they will see the demand and keep making it. I was wondering why my local Kroger didn't carry it anymore.

Thanks again Jessica :D

Maybe, like the company suggested, the supermarket you go to has decided to stock other varieties/flavors of the soup. Or perhaps the Creamy Mushroom wasn't selling very well. If you ask them to, they might add it back...or just make smaller orders, knowing that you'll buy the soup.

This soup disappeared from my local Kroger so I wrote the regional Kroger dietician (I have an advantage here because she's also the wife of my daughter's former high school cross country and track coach). It took a while but she finally told me that this product is no longer available. She didn't go into detail but I can only assume Kroger decided as a chain to drop it. I expalined to her why this was bad for people with celiac or even a wheat allergy. I personally rarely use it any more because I'm also watching sodium.

As a consolation, though, Kroger sent me a case of the soup. I would complain to any store that has dropped this product in hopes of getting it back, but I'm not sure I would expect a case in consolation.

It's possible that's the case. Or it could be that your store is having trouble paying their bills and the manufacturer has shut them off until they catch up.

Since it IS soup in a can, perhaps you could cut a deal by special ordering a case of 12? Many companies don't mind special orders if you buy a whole case.

This thread is over four years old.

I believe, currently Progresso Creamy Mushroom soup is still available. Not always easily found, but still available. ;) When I find it, I buy six or more cans.

      Can someone help explain my labs?

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      I never had bad stomach issues before I was diagnosed.  What I did have was anemia  and hashimoto's thyroid disease. The celiac was suspected because I had to keep taking higher and higher doses of synthroid just to try to get out of hypothyroidism and also the unresolved anemia.  Once I had the blood tests,  celiac was confirmed.

      Is Thiamine Deficiency the Beginning of Celiac Disease?

      By Mari · Posted

      It is rather amazing to me that I was able to follow, in a general way, your reasoning in this scientific  thesis. It is very good work on your part taking different research papers and tying the information together if not for a cure for celiac disease, the ability to decrease the symptoms of celiac disease and other autoimmune conditions. Now if you can get this into the scientific conversation about autoimmune  problems. I hope so. On a more practical level please give me the name of the thiamine that you recommend. I forgot to copy it the last time you shared it.    Thanks

      Retirement/assisted living facility and cross contamination in the kitchen

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Kelly, We have had at keast 2 discussions abour people with Celiacs moving into assisted living. . No easy solutens to the problems  Celiacs face  when they cannot eat the food served so they need to prepare their own meals or order gluten-free meals.  You seem to be coping quite well. It is not clear to me whether you are suffering because you miss the companionship of shared meals or are a little outraged by the unfairness of your situation/ It is unfair but if you managed to force the  facility to provide a gluten-free kitchen they would go bankrupt.  Just too expensive. Many of the residents would become outraged at not eating the gluten foods they love to eat. .I think you have adapted very wellIf this place does provide some foods that are gluten-free but cross contaminated you may be able to use an antigluten enzyme that you could take with meals. The one advertised here, GliadinX works well for me. Bring your own bread and pastries from your freezer. I sympathize. You could still follow through with the suggestions Scott and Trents made.

      Tracking food triggers with elimination diets — tried Tract app?

      By Rory Bokser · Posted

      Hi everyone,   I've been struggling with identifying food triggers beyond gluten — things like dairy, soy, corn, and various FODMAPs. Elimination diets are incredibly helpful but the tracking part is a real pain.   I recently came across an app called Tract (tract.health) that's specifically designed for gut health tracking with IBD, IBS, celiac, and elimination diets. It lets you log meals, symptoms, bowel movements, and stress all in one place, and uses AI to help identify patterns between what you eat and how you feel.   For those of us dealing with multiple food intolerances on top of celiac, something like this could be really useful — especially when you're doing a low-FODMAP or specific carbohydrate diet and need to see correlations over weeks of data.   Has anyone here tried it or something similar? Would love to hear what tools others are using to track food intolerances beyond just gluten.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      I take B12 and Vitamin D (1000 I.U) as well. I can't take 500mg twice a day, only once due to cost reasons. I'm getting more than the minimum rda of Niacin in my diet but not supplementing it.
