Ms. Logan - Joel from 18 Chestnuts here. Thanks so much for your wonderful review and the story about your sweet mom. My mother, Carol, is 91 and absolutely LOVES our soups as well (especially the tomato soup, Red Pepper Pomodoro). She is in an assisted living facility that she loves and, when she's not feeling up to it, will have the kitchen send up grilled cheese sandwiches to her room so that she and her friends can do a "soup and sandwich party". She says it makes them warm on the inside...what more could you ask for?? Have a wonderful day and, again, thanks.
I am loving the asparagus shikate! Its my favorite!!!
I was hesitant at first to try the soup but once I opened the jar I couldn’t stop eating it. I can't wait now to open the Butternut Squash & Pear or the Beetroot & Apple. I will definitely buy again and have been recommending to both family and friends.

thanks for your great review, Carol! We're so glad you loved the Asparagus Shitake, and would love to hear what you thought about the other flavors.
I thought it might be bland...you might be afraid if offending someone!!! But ,,no! It is spicey. It is full of flavor. It is delicious,! I totally loved it and it was very filling...I added some good wheat crackers...a perfect meal.
Your sense for sp ices is extraordinary, I think. I would really not be able to sguess what all was in it...just a perfect mix! Congrats!!!
I chopped up a couple of cremini mushrooms and steamed them for 2 minutes. I then added the mushrooms to the soup and heated the soup to my favorite temperature (hot). The taste and texture of this soup couldn’t get any better.
I love that the soups are thick and have a bite to them! I’m not a fan of asparagus or many vegetables but this is so tasty and helps me get the veggies in!
Adding sautéd fresh asparagus and shitake mushrooms extends the soup and makes this a part of a lovely light evening meal. Paired with a caprese salad this is just right for spring.
I found the combination shiitake and asparagus flavors to be very good. I very much appreciate the reasonable sodium content, as I have to restrict it. I would gave appreciated a bit more buttery flavor and thickness in the soup.
This one is my current favorite! The flavor is a lovely blend of asparagus and mushroom. Sublime. I’ve been having intestinal issues after a course of antibiotics, this soup has been nourishing my body and soul. Thank you!
I really enjoyed the pumpkin soup in particular. The pumpkin soup was very comforting and made me feel like I was with my grandma. It was a lovely soup with many savory notes.
I like all the soups I have eaten so far. I do have some favorites, which I am going to continue to buy. But what I love about these soups is that they are completely plant based, low calorie for the most part, and absolutely delicious. They do not come in cans, something that is a big plus where flavor is concerned. From the very first taste--the wonderful butternut squash and pear--I was hooked. These soups are truly different and I am very happy I gave them a try. I am now awaiting my third shipment. Yum!
Your soups are delicious!!! Their nutritional worth exceeded my expectations. Within a week of trying many of your soups, my strength came back, my appetite improved, I felt so much better.
Would love to see a store/restaurant of 18 Chestnuts right here in Sussex County, NJ.
I order 12 jars but have not tried them all yet. I have tried 4 so far and I loved them all. I also subscribe for regular shipping. I will always have 18 Chestnuts in my cabinet, because that's how good they are.
Miserable damp, cloudy day here so made the soup. It was fulfilling and delicious. Will definitely be ordering more. Really appreciate the quality of your soups.
Asparagus & Shiitake was an excellent balance of flavors! One of my favorites.
In general, I found the soups thin where I thought they’d be more full-bodied.
The only one that I did not care for was the flavor of Butternut & Pear blend. All soups were a bit bland which I can understand that the flavoring is subjective and can be added by the individual.
It was delicious! I had a little left over and used it as a sauce over gf noodles and steak slices. It was very good. I will be ordering more. I haven’t tried the two others yet.
I just started with a selection of soups. I've had the asparagus shiitake. It's lightly flavored and delicious. I'm looking forward to trying the other selections.
