IMAGINE™: THE BEST NEW SEAFOOD BISQUES AND VEGETARIAN SOUPS

MELVILLE, NY, (September, 2005) – Imagine Foods announces the introduction of the first-ever all-natural seafood bisques in convenient aseptic, shelf-stable packaging. A leader in the aseptic soup category, these four new gourmet soups will complement the brand’s extensive line of organic vegetarian soups and meat/poultry-based broths.

New Crab Bisque and Lobster Bisque varieties are thick and creamy, and made with the freshest seafood ingredients available. They are flash cooked to preserve their fresh, savory flavor on the shelf, and can be refrigerated for 7 to 10 days after opening for added convenience. Seasoned with garlic and red pepper, plus a dash of onion and sherry wine flavor, Imagine seafood bisques deliver restaurant-quality taste at home.

New Imagine Organic Sweet Potato soup, the first organic aseptic sweet potato soup on the market, is made with the finest organic sweet potatoes, lightly simmered with fresh herbs, and seasoned with ginger for a delightful soup with distinct taste. Our USDA Certified Organic Sweet Potato soup is rich and smooth, while remaining dairy-free.

All new Imagine soups are packaged in a convenient, re-closeable 32 oz. aseptic carton, and are ready to simply heat and serve. You can find new Imagine soups in Natural Food Stores.
