About the Brand
The Healthy Choice story began with former ConAgra Foods CEO Charles "Mike" Harper. While traveling through California on business, this hot-fudge-sundae lover suffered a mild heart attack. Although he made a full recovery, he needed to evaluate his eating habits. So he began a search for foods that satisfied both his taste and health needs. When his search proved unsuccessful, he took it upon himself to bring to market products that taste good and are good for you. And that's how Healthy Choice was born. All Healthy Choice products today are built on the same philosophy Mike Harper had more than a decade ago--foods that are made from real ingredients and prepared in such a way that high-quality flavor and nutrition are maintained.p ConAgra Foods quickly embraced Harper's idea and introduced the first line of Healthy Choice products in 1988, consisting of 10 frozen meals. Over 15 years later, Healthy Choice offers more than 200 products that expand to a variety of food categories, none of which compromise on taste or nutrition.

Customer Reviews

Good eatin' made easy!
What a great idea! Tastes good, good for you, and the perfect size for us single folks! It couldn't be any easier. Just pop off the metal top, put the plastic lid back on, set the timer for 1:30, and ding...soup's done! Then the best part comes after. - virtually nothing to clean! No pot, no bowl, just a spoon maybe for some of you. I use a plastic one of those too so everything just gets tossed. All food should be packaged this way!

Not such a healthy choice -- exploded in microwave
I regularly heat soup in a microwave at my office. Brands include Campbell's, Progresso, etc. in "microwavable" containers like this HC product. Each requires a slightly different time to heat completely so the first time I heat a product I watch it carefully to determine that time.

I followed the HC directions, removing the metal lid under the plastic cover and replacing the plastic cover. Our microwave is a relatively low wattage model (compared to the 1700 watts assumed by HC on the label) so I knew it would take longer than the 1 minute 30 seconds they recommend.

Because it was lunch hour, other people were waiting while the soup heated. We were all startled when there was a loud bang from the microwave and the plastic cover blew off the top and the container jumped, splattering soup all over the inside of the oven. It took about five minutes and a lot of paper towels and water to clean up the mess.

The soup that remained tasted fine and the meat was more tender than normal for soup in microwavable containers.

That said, I cannot recommend it nor will I buy it again. I choose such soups for convenience, not excitement.

I did report my experience to ConAgra (parent company of HC) but to date they have not responded.

Wonderful - Great rainy day lunch!
I buy these for my elderly grandfather who needs to watch his salt and fat intake. He loves them and I know he is eating lunch everyday because they are easy for him to manage.

The only down side is that he is used to just opening and consuming whatever the container size is - and according to the package label, this bowl constitutes 2 servings. So when you read the nutrition information, keep in mind everything is DOUBLE if you eat the whole bowl...
