To this day, I think of Amy’s Kitchen as the darling of the natural food industry. As conglomerates gobbled up everything in site, Amy’s remained a family-owned business, and became the nation’s leader in natural frozen foods. But their shelf-stable items should not be forgotten. Amy’s Organic Soups include a diverse selection, all of which are vegetarian and most are dairy-free and vegan, too.
And since I think most of us will have proper pantry stocking in mind going forward, I’ve updated this post! Over the years, Amy’s has quietly and gradually added new soup varieties. The information below includes the current dairy-free and vegan varieties – all thirty of them!
Amy’s Organic Soups come in 30 Dairy-Free and Vegan Varieties
Amy’s Organic Soups are made with whole, minimally processed ingredients, so they have naturally occurring nutrition, from fiber and protein to vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, and calcium.
Thus far, we’ve sampled a few warm bowls of goodness from Amy’s dairy-free soup line-up. I’ve included our tasting notes for the ones we’ve tried, followed by a full list of dairy-free and vegan Amy’s Organic Soups. Please feel free to leave your own rating and review for this product line at the bottom of this post.
Vegan Chunky Tomato Bisque (pictured above)
This was my most recently sampling, and I was impressed. Amy’s has a tomato bisque with milk, but they’ve since released this vegan variety with a touch of coconut cream for richness. The flavor is bold, yet pure and perfectly salted. I found it to be just a touch too sweet (they really could tone down the organic sugar added), but it tempers well with add-ins or bread for dipping.
Fire Roasted Southwestern Vegetable
This soup has a heat that sneaks up on you … the kind that makes you keep eating, quickly, to keep it from catching up with your taste buds.I loved the flavor, though my timid taste buds couldn’t continue to eat this soup straight up. To tame the heat, I made a meal for two out of the single can, pouring it atop two bowls filled with a base of brown rice and steamed sweet potato chunks. The soup itself contains black beans, potatoes, carrots, and corn all in a spicy, tomato base. On its own, if you can handle the kick, the entire can would make a good light meal for one.
Tuscan Bean & Rice Soup
If I had a cold or the flu, this deliciously warming soup would be my go-to nourishment. It has a wonderful tomato plus vegetable soup-base with a hint of spice that adds interest without too much heat. The rice within the soup was very fine, almost like small pieces of barley. I added some more pinto beans and frozen corn (both organic to keep with the theme of course) as I felt the soup was still light on add-ins. Both Tony and I enjoyed it; I only wish I had another can on hand for my husband who now has a cold! Back to the store I go …
Butternut Squash
While both Tony and I enjoy butternut squash, anything involving a puree typically reminds us of baby food. Plus, while butternut squash itself has a light sweetness, most brands of butternut soup tend to load up the ingredients with syrupy sweeteners. Fortunately, Amy’s remedied both of these issues by thinning the squash to a smooth and soupy consistency, and only adding a hint of evaporated cane juice. The sugar enhanced the natural sweetness without overloading my taste buds. That said, the overall flavor is just slightly lacking… something that perhaps just a pinch of cayenne would fix.
Light in Sodium Lentil
Sadly, my first thought was, “hmm, needs salt.” Resisting the urge I reached for the pepper grinder instead. Both Tony and I thought this was a good move. While I often find Amy’s Chili (even the medium) a bit too spicy, this soup was on the bland side and lacked zing. Even after the peppering, the soup was still shouting for an additional herb or spice, but I couldn’t quite make out which one. Cumin? Paprika? Rosemary? Perhaps some future experimentation will tell. Beyond the flavor, I liked the heartiness of this soup. Rich with lentils, and light on liquid, I could easily fill up on a whole can. But instead, I served it over brown rice, making a little lunchtime meal for two.
Thai Coconut (Tom Kha Phak)
This was a meal in a soup! A generous hand with the coconut milk makes this soup rich and provides a flavor base that is reminiscent of mild curry – perfectly warm and lightly spicy. In terms of consistency, it was mostly soup, with just a few bits of sweet potatoes, green beans, shiitakes, and meaty tofu to break up the fluidity. Since the additions were sparse, I added some cooked brown rice, a small diced and steamed sweet potato, and a cup of spinach. It was a perfect match with Thai restaurant-quality goodness. While I love to make my own curries and coconut soups, this is a worthwhile shortcut purchase for a quick and easy dinner.
