Cup-A-Soup Chicken Noodle Instant Soup pack of 12, 1.8 oz

When you need some comfort and warm nourishing soup you can't go wrong with Cup-a-Soup in the chicken noodle flavor. I am happy I now have 12 boxes of these for all occasions. I also think these make a nice gift to someone who is under the weather with a cold virus. I am not a doctor, so this is not medical advice but you can put a bit of garlic in your soup and I think that clears the sinuses even better than just plain chicken soup. These soup packets can be made quickly and are not too salty, just flavorful and delicious. My husband likes me to have these on hand so he always has some soup when he wants to have some! ~The Rebecca Review

This is my favorite flavor of the Cup A Soup instant soups.

Yes, these are salty and not great for people with sodium issues. But, I keep them in my desk for a little pick-me-up and warm-up since I sit right under a large HVAC vent in the office. The same soup I remember from growing up... easy to prep in a coffee mug and makes a quick sipper of a snack.

June 2023: After over a year of not buying the Chicken Noodle Cup-a-Soup, I recently decided to buy a box from a local store. It tasted much like I remember it, but no more (chewy) chicken pieces. None of the cheesy aroma from the case I bought last year from Amazon or the box I got from Rite Aid; just the normal "chicken" flavor. I never did get any clarification from Lipton about if there was a production problem with the lot. The case I received yesterday has a "BEST BY FEB2724MUK" marking. March 2022: I've been buying and consuming the Chicken Noodle with White Meat Cup-a-Soup for ages. With my last purchase in Dec. 2021, something changed. It does not taste or smell the same. It has what I would consider a slightly cheesy taste and an orange-ish/brown complexion. I should have been alerted that it may not taste the same since the box labeling changed. Previously, it said "Chicken Noodle with White Meat". Now it has "Chicken Flavor Noodle with other Natural Flavors". I bought a box from Rite Aid yesterday, labeled with the new use of Flavor/Flavors and it also has the same (cheesy) taste. I checked the expiration date and lot code info on the bottom. Best Used date is OCT2222MUK, the same as the ones I bought here on Amazon. Only the time stamp/lot code is different: 02:54 L10 11023 (Rite Aid) vs 23:28 L10 11022 (Amazon). If you have enjoyed this soup for the last couple of decades like I have, be aware that something is different with the product that has the new labeling. I don't like it anymore. I used to have two or three cups in one sitting but I'm probably going to dump this entire shipment. I contacted Lipton back in January and they were going to send me a replacement coupon but if this their new/updated formula going forward, I won't be buying this soup anymore. I'll stick with their Soup Secrets Noodle Soup Mix. It's more than I would want to eat for a small between-meal snack, but at least they haven't changed the taste/recipe.

Too much salt, but was okay when I poured some of the salty liquid out and added hot water again. In other words, I reduced the amount of salt. Will I buy this product again? I may, because it is convenient and handy to have on hand.

For context, I am physically disabled with lots of stomach issues. I’ve struggled for years with food, not being able to eat solid food, not enjoying the bland liquid food my stomach can tolerate, and being nauseous 24/7. But, THIS SOUP??? Not only can my stomach tolerate this product, but it tastes so good!!! The noodles and dehydrated carrots make me feel like i’m eating a meal, otherwise i’d be drinking plain broth for dinner. No other soup mix or similar product comes close to this. Not even this brand’s similar variations. The taste. The ease of cooking. Even the packaging is easy to open! When I’m really weak physically but still have to try and eat, i can still open the soups & make them. My mom used to get these for me when I was sick as a kid. On a whim I picked up a box at the grocery store because I was desperate to “eat” something other than broth, plain applesauce, or apple juice. I then started ordering them in bulk off of here- they’re my main oral source of nutrition at this point, but it manages to still make me feel like a normal person. They are perfect please don’t EVER CHANGE THEM

Great price for the quantity of soup.

Its the standard cup-a-soup. Its just very hard to find in grocery stores. Too many other varieties now so stores don't carry an old standard. Too bad for stores, too good for Amazon.
