Paul was excited because it made his lunch making job easier, I was excited when I looked at the ingredients and realized there was no MSG in it. This is one of the only chicken soups, and the only in a convenient heatable package, that I can eat due to a MSG allergy that gives me killer migraines. I was especially excited to have this soup coming right out of an observation (which, by the way, didn't happen due to the two hour rain delay we experienced this morning).
I am not typically a big fan of pre-made soups, especially recently, but will admit that I would probably get this again if I found a great deal on it. It had a great flavor, not too chardonnay-y, but just a hint, and the fire roasted tomatoes provided a great smokey balance to the soup. The chicken was better than most processed, soup chicken, it actually looked like chicken, not foamy chunks of "meat."
A down side would be the salt. Almost 3 hours later and I still feel like I licked a salt lick. I realize that part of that is to enhance the flavor, part is to preserve, especially since they advertise "no preservatives" in big letters on the packaging.
Long story short, would I buy this product again? Yes, for occasional eating. Would I recommend it to a friend? Yes, as long as they don't have high blood pressure.
**I was compensated with a free sample of the Campbell's soup, along with socks and coupons through Smiley360.
