JUST IMAGINE ...Finding a packaged cream soup that's low in sodium and that tastes great is next to impossible. Make that was. Imagine Soups manage to pull off the minor miracle. The secret to making a delicious full-flavored creamy soup? Organic vegetables simmered with spices, then pureed with a little soy milk or rice flour for thickening.
