Campbell's Homestyle Healthy Request Soup, Savory Chicken Soup with Brown Rice, 18.6 Oz Can (Case of 12)

The taste is very good. Nutrition is substantial, except that the can contains 3/4's of the daily allowance of sodium. I'll limit myself to half a can per serving, while I usually consume a full can of soup at a time.

Of all the light or healthy versions of canned soups by Campbell's (and others, too), this is my favorite. True, I happen to like most things that are Mexican in flavor, so that's a factor. But after sampling some "diet-friendly" soups that were bland or boring or heavy on the celery flavor (hate that), this was a lovely change.I've made sure to keep it stocked in my pantry for over a year now.It's tomatoey brothy, it's got black beans and chicken and rice, but it's not stew-like. It still has plenty of broth, so it's adaptable. I tend to sprinkle some low-fat cheddar on top to add to the flavor and texture. Some days, I'll open a can of black beans and add it for more fiber. When I want to splurge, I add more beans, corn, low fat cheese and a tiny dollop of lite sour cream.If you have leftover veggies and rice, you can thicken it into a stew. I've done it, and it works.Some info: One cup has 130 calories. It has 480 mg of sodium per serving, and 2 g of fat--one of those saturated--plus 2 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein.This is just a fun soup and tasty and a winner from Campbell's. I hope it stays in their line permanently.A note: The convenient microwavable can version of this doesn't taste as good. It probably has to do with it being cooked IN the can in the nuker, maybe, not sure. But I did notice it tasted "tinny" in that other packaging. I'd recommend THIS can and cooking in a non-reactive pot (ie, stainless steel), because this broth is very tomatoey.Enjoy.Mir

For a snack.

The product itself is exactly what I wanted. I have noticed that Campbell Chunky soups have been decreasing the size and amount of chicken in the soup. Shrink-flation? Probably. Protein is expensive. This soup is exactly like what I get at Walmart. What makes it worth buying from Amazon is the price. Not significantly cheaper than my local Walmart, but every penny saved helps. Plus, you can't beat having it show up at your door. Will buy again.

I often have this soup for lunch or dinner. But to make it outstanding I added about 1/4 tsp of ground cumin and I add about 1/2 of a shredded dried chipolte pepper, or just some crushed red pepper flakes. I would give this soup 5 stars except it and most canned Chicken-type soups by Campbell (and Progresso) that contain chicken provides the chicken as cubes taken from a pressed block of chicken. That part is especially unappetizing. When I add the above ingredients, I also crush these chicken cubes which helps.Update: Just received a new shipment of 12 cans. Most were crushed and 3 were very crushed in shipment.

Well packaged tray and not a single dented can! Campbells quality sent to your door in bulk!

So good. Ate everyday and made it seem like I was back at home eating home made soup:)

This is actually my favorite soup. Ever. Please do not stop stocking it. I dearly love it, and it is the only soup that I can eat all day and never get sick of.
