Very delicious! I had never heard of the Progresso starters and thought it might be like cream of mushroom soup. Much richer, full flavor. Husband and I loved it--kids did not. For our next time I will add more fresh chives to garnish or just a crunchy tossed salad and crusty bread. We also want to try other pastas and maybe add spinach to it. We had this as our main dish without meat and it is very rich and tasty and super fast for a meal on the run. Two thumbs up!
