I’m pretty pissed off right now. Like, Mel Gibson not getting blown before the jacuzzi pissed. I was at the grocery store the other day and I noticed that Stouffer’s has some new Corner Bistro meal options that come with a stuffed melt and a bowl of soup. Perfect, right? I can’t think of a better lunch than soup and a sandwich. I decided to pick up three of the Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt with Loaded Baked Potato Soup options, mainly because they sounded and looked rather edible. Delicious, even.
Try reading this description and tell me it doesn’t sound like it would make your lunch break at work at least 38% better:
“Herb-topped focaccia bread filled with white meat chicken, bacon and swiss cheese and a buttermilk ranch sauce, paired with creamy loaded baked potato soup”
So today I decided I was in a soup and sandwich kind of mood and remembered the frozen dinners I had bought. Three short minutes in the microwave, and it was time to feast. To my complete dismay, this is what I found..
Stouffer's New Chicken Bacon Ranch Melt and Loaded Baked Potato Soup
At this point, I felt like punching Stouffer right in the face. What the hell kind of meal is this? The “stuffed melt” was the size of a deck of cards, and the “loaded” baked potato soup tasted like a bowl of cream with cheese and three ridiculously large slices of potato added to it. Thanks for reminding me that this is a potato based soup, Stouffer. Also, that bowl may look large in the picture but it has about the same depth as a petri dish.
Thanks a lot Stouffer. I’m not going to get into burying you in rose gardens or setting your house on fire or anything like that, but we are taking a break due to the shittyness that you put into this box and allowed to be sold to me at my local grocery store. I hope you feel bad for completely ruining my lunch.

Hahahahah oh snap!
“eating” this as I type, that’s why i googled it. this stuffed sandwich thing is way too small and tastes like…. i don’t even know, but I took one bite and the “bacon” made me gag and I can’t finish it.
I just had the Stouffers Corner Bistro Chicken Bacon Ranch stuffed melt and baked potato soup for lunch and found it to be just the right portion amount as well as extremely tasty. Will definetly make this purchase again.
I really liked it too! I mean, it’s a frozen meal, it’s not going to be out-of-this-world delicious by any means. It’s pretty much a mini Hot Pocket and a small bowl of canned-ish tasting soup, but what do you expect for three bucks?! I just put some fresh pepper in the soup and threw some crackers on top, and it was definitely more exciting than most Lean Cuisine’s or Smart One’s frozen dinners. I recommend it.
There’s another variety that has (if I remember) a ham and cheese pocket with tomato bisque. It worked, the ingredients for both the soup and sandwich were simple enough that you can’t really screw them up, and I tried dipping the sandwich in the soup (which I do when I make grilled cheese and tomato soup) and it was pretty good. Not fantastic, but it’s a Stouffer’s frozen dinner for crying out loud. For something that takes 5 minutes or so in a microwave before watching TV late at night, it’s a winner.
That potato soup in your pic just looks sad though. It’s like the stepchild soup that nobody will ever love.
s0qyjN I’m not easily impressed. . . but that’s impressing me!
