I rarely buy prepared foods from Whole Foods because they're expensive and often disappointing. Exceptions to this are the pizza, a couple of soups, and, on good days at least, the salad bar.
I was there today to lay in some provisions before the predicted snowstorm hits tonight. I'd been out a good part of the morning and was getting hungry, so naturally I gravitated to the soup bar. $3.50 for a 12 oz. bowl isn't bad, so I took a chance on the Italian wedding soup. I have a hard time steering away from anything with sausage in it.
People have raved about IWS to me, but I'd never tried it. I'd wager that I still haven't. WF's version consisted of a salty commercial-grade chicken broth, small bits of onion, carrot, and parsely, and chicken sausage. No herb flavors were discernible except for in the sausage. The overwhelming impression was of a canned chicken vegetable soup.
Like I said, I don't know much about this variety of soup. I want to look up some recipes and commentaries to see what I was missing. I like WF's vegetarian chili and some of their seafood soups, but I won't get this again.
