The labeling on the front displays that the soup comes with broccoli, spinach, courgette and parsley. The total percentage of the above vegetables and herbs in the soup comes to a total of 17.4% of the total soup. I did expect the percentage of these foods would be higher as they were listed on the front of the label, so was a little disappointed that that the percentage was so low. I guess a major reason for this is due to the high water content of these vegetables. Water makes up the bulk of the ingredients (which is expected since it is a soup), followed by potato and leek.

| Nutrition Information from Tasty Pot Co. |
The soup in low in kilojoules, fat and sugar so it is great for people watching their waist line. It contains 5.1g of dietary fibre which accounts for 17% of the recommended daily requirement. As with many packaged soups it is quite high in sodium (47% of the NZ recommended intake), however compared to other soups available this is quite a low amount.
The soup contains no detectable gluten and is suitable for vegans.
After all this nutrition information, you probably just want to know how the soup actually tastes. Well for my taste its a little tangy. It has a sour almost zingy taste which leaves an odd sensation in my mouth. The texture is great, smooth, creamy with real chunks of vegetables. I probably wouldn't buy it again due to the weird tangy sensation.
