I bought some Trader Joe's Jasmine Rice as a quick way to cook up some white rice.
The box comes with three frozen pouches of rice, and I followed the instructions on the box and microwaved one of the pouches for 3 minutes.
The rice isn't a sticky rice, and it wasn't mushy or hard and came out perfectly cooked. It was perfect as a side of rice for two people.
I tried some of this light vegetable soup because I was sick with a cold.
Just like with their chicken noodle soup, the noodles (spiral pasta) were OK, but all the vegetables seemed to just dissolve in my mouth. The soup had a strong, sour tomato taste that got worse as I ate more so I didn't really care much for it.

The last time I had a chicken noodle soup was several years ago, but I tried some of the Progresso Heart Healthy Chicken Noodle Soup since I was sick.
The taste of the soup was OK -- it was salty, but it didn't seem as overwhelmingly salty as some other soups. Both the celery and carrots in the soup seemed unnaturally soft, and they felt like they just dissolved in my mouth. The noodles were OK and didn't dissolve right away. There weren't a lot of chicken chunks, but I didn't really care for them, anyway. Overall, it just tasted like an average chicken noodle soup.
