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

-Jessica :rolleyes:

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.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankle...

      A Future Beyond the Gluten-Free Diet? Scientists Test a New Cell Therapy for Celiac Disease (+Video)

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
