The title says vegetarian but the ingredients say chicken stock. Just a reminder to always check ingredients before eating!

    That is just plain ignorance or someone who just doesn’t care. Inexcusable!

    I wonder if the enzymes in the cheese are rennet also?

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard it referred to as “chicken juices” before. Absolutely cursed combination of words 😭

    I don’t know how to report it to fix the title. If anyone knows, lmk

    A fair amount of vegetarians, and even more so vegans, I know won’t trust home cooks or products they aren’t super familiar with and have researched already.

    As one vegan friend put it, “The amount of people that think butter is vegan is alarming.”

    You didn’t hear? Chicken is considered a vegetable now. Seriously though, I can’t even count how many times someone has asked me if I eat chicken after telling them I’m a vegetarian.

  7. I used to eat this quite a bit and noticed I usually felt a little upset stomach after eating. The one day I read the ingredients and that would be why!

    Same issue at Thai and Chinese restaurants. Is this vegetarian? “yes it is”
    Has fish sauce and oyster sauce in it!!!

    The fact that it’s in the title & not even just a descriptor is insane.

    A long time ago, I was a public school teacher in Austin, Texas and also a strict vegetarian. I wanted to know what vegetarian options were available for students (and anyone else, like teachers and parents) in the cafeteria and found out that to the district, vegetarian option means “lean meat”, such as roasted turkey slices.

    Like, as if the only reason to be vegetarian was to cut down on fat, so offering lean meat instead of greasy fried meat was somehow acceptable for vegetarians. I complained and talked to nutrition services because I genuinely wanted to understand how eating turkey was vegetarian to them. Nutrition services reprimanded me for wasting their time. And that was the end of that.

    The package itself has no mention of being vegetarian so it looks like a mistaken copy editor misunderstanding what a vegetarian is

  12. Why would they put chicken in a broccoli cheddar soup. They don’t know how to cook.

    I shared it with the soup buyer at Walmart. It will get fixed.

    This reminds me when Progresso came out with “Vegetable Classics” soups (maybe 15 or 25 years ago).

    Almost every one had chicken stock.

    It’s not hard to make soup. 90% of the time I have soup it’s something I’ve made.

    Too much of this kind of thing (like the OP mentioned).

    I think most of the vegetable classic line now does **not** contain chicken stock however.

    True story. My friend is a lifelong vegetarian. He is working at an elder care facility. Asked the chef if he had vegetarian options since they often feed the staff. The chef replied that the soup was vegetarian but he used chicken stock. The chef honestly didn’t know it counted if it was in a liquid state. He thought vegetarians just don’t chew meat. He was feeding this also to vegetarian residents.
