Love me some soup, and I bet you do too!

Raise your hand if you like warm delicious soup? Good. Now raise your hand if you like free things? GOOOOD. Here’s what I got for ya:

Progresso teamed up with BlogSpark and they were awesome enough to send me a TON of delicious soups to try! They also (unaware that they were feeding my oversized mug addiction) sent a cool Progresso Mug, just big enough to hold the whole can. My upper body strength work came into play when I carried these bad boys up my three flights of stairs from the delivery truck to my kitchen!

I know it’s been a little while since my last GU:2010 (I promised you though, there’s one coming!) , but what about YOUR goal update? Was healthy eating a part of your goals for 2010? Well, Progresso wants to help you out!

Though I can’t promise I’ll be there to help carry the box up your stairs, I can promise you that soup is GOOD, and Progresso is no exception.

To enter this GIVEAWAY (different than the souper you contest), all you need to do is:

• Leave a comment telling me your Progresso soup! If you’re new to this tasty brand of convenient goodness, you  can check out their WEBSITE and tell me the flavor you’d most like to try!

Easy peasy, right? Because we want to waste no time getting started on a healthy 2010, I’m keeping this giveaway open only through this weekend, aka midnight on Sunday (CENTRAL time). But why wait? All it takes is a click of a button, and you’re ticket’s in the hat!
