Trader Joe's Soups, Ranked
Trader Joe's
My sister calls me The Soup Fairy because I’m always brewing some up, even in the dead of summer. I have an addiction, okay? Fortunately, fall is the ideal season for cozying up with a big, hearty bowl while watching the best fall movies. Since Trader Joe's is practically packed with seasonal soups this time of year, I'm ranking them from worst to best to help you find your next go-to flavor.

Scroll on for my full ranking of 8 Trader Joe's soups!

\u200b\u200bTrader Joe's Organic Hearty Minestrone Soup

Trader Joe's

8. Organic Hearty Minestrone Soup

Trader Joe’s, I’m so sorry, but you’ve entered your flop era with this soup. The taste is too watery, uninspired, and ultimately flavorless. Do yourself a favor and avoid this option at all costs.

\u200b\u200bTrader Joe's Italian-Style Wedding Soup

Trader Joe's

7. Italian-Style Wedding Soup

I know this can be a controversial take, but I’m an Italian wedding soup lover through and through. That’s why I was so disappointed with Trader Joe’s version. It came out to be so watery, jumbled, and overly-salted to the point that it left me feeling uncomfortably bloated. My ultimate verdict? No, just no.

\u200b\u200bTrader Joe's Organic Lentil Vegetable Soup

Trader Joe's

6. Organic Lentil Vegetable Soup

When I think “boring soup," I immediately picture Trader Joe’s Organic Lentil Vegetable Soup. There’s nothing inherently offensive about the taste of it, yet there’s nothing all that memorable either. Just a standard flavor that’ll leave you yawning.

\u200b\u200bTrader Joe's Miso Instant Ramen Soup

Trader Joe's

5. Miso Instant Ramen Soup

I’m a big ramen fanatic, but store-bought soups tend to be a let-down for me. Unfortunately, Trader Joe’s is no exception to this rule. This pick has too much sodium and not enough flavor. While it may be ideal for college students who want a reliable midnight snack to counter a night of heavy drinking, I’d much rather just go to a ramen restaurant.

\u200b\u200bTrader Joe's Chicken Noodle Soup

Trader Joe's

4. Chicken Noodle Soup

Now let’s get to the good stuff. What’s more classic than a can of hearty chicken noodle soup? This is a must-have for any pantry, and at only $3, its rich flavor is well worth it. Talk about comfort food!

\u200bTrader Joe's 3. Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Trader Joe's

3. Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Trader Joe’s Organic Tomato & Roasted Red Pepper Soup is a fan-favorite, and after my own taste test, I can clearly see why. The rich, creamy flavors are so fresh and nutrient-rich that it'll leave you feeling cozy and satisfied, even hours after your last bite.

\u200bTrader Joe's New England Clam Chowder

Reddit

2. New England Clam Chowder

Be sure to stock up on Trader Joe’s New England Clam Chowder before I swoop in and purchase every last one! I’m that addicted, y’all. This is the perfect cozy dish to keep you full all season long. The taste is so flavorful, delectable, and classy that you’ll feel like you’re ordering from an oceanside five-star restaurant.

\u200bTrader Joe's Lobster Bisque

Trader Joe's

1. Lobster Bisque

I spent years living in Massachusetts, so I know a good lobster bisque when I see one. Trader Joe’s offers the perfect New England taste with this option! One spoonful of this soup will have you feeling like you’re on the East Coast. Simply delectable and delicious. And at only $5? No notes.
