Rao's original NYC location is known for its difficulty in securing reservations due to its limited seating and celebrity clientele. However, consumers can access Rao's flavors through a variety of retail products, including pasta sauces, frozen meals, and soups. Rao's jarred soups, available since 2019, come in various Italian-inspired recipes without artificial ingredients. A review of 10 soups reveals mixed results, with some flavors lacking authenticity and depth, particularly the Tuscan Style Beef soup, which struggles with its broth and overall execution.
"Rao's store-bought soups have been around since 2019, and now come in a wide variety of styles and recipes - all Italian-inspired, of course, and made without artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives."
"Despite being an omnivore's dream, this soup doesn't pop the way I thought it would. It should have been the best of both worlds - essentially a vegetable soup base paired with beef flavorings and real hearty chunks of beef."
"In all honesty, I think it's the broth and beef that present the problem. Like the brand's French onion soup, the broth here leads with a strong sweetness and a touch of grease."
