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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
