(More customer reviews)I like these Knorr sides plus veggies for making a fast meal. The alfredo is my favorite, just add a can of tuna or chicken when preparing, and call it a one-dish meal. Supper, anyone?

Lipton Cup-a-Soup, Spring Vegetable, 4-Count Pouches per Box (Pack of 12) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These are stocked in the snack room at work. I tried a few and thought they were pretty good, so I now have them at home for quick snacks. They taste about as good as canned soups, but calling them "soup" is a stretch. These are powdered mixes, so the soup is broth and noodles. I'm OK with that for a snack, but these would never be confused with stew or even real soup. ;-)
For me, the main attraction is convenience. They mix fairly well with hot water, but I use a small battery-powered blender to eliminate the clumps. This doesn't work so well for the ones with noodles.
My main concern is the sodium. I usually dilute it with at least 30% more water because it's just too salty. The calories are fairly low except for the tomato, which I found surprising. But I see that there's 13g of sugar in every packet. Wow!
Cal/Fat . . . Salt . . Sugar . . . Flavor

(Sorry about the periods, but Amazon keeps compressing out multiple spaces.)
These are my favorites in order of preference:
1. Tomato: This is pretty good tomato soup -- guess it's the sugar. ;-) And it's too salty.
2. Chicken Noodle with White Meat: The "white meat" is just a memory (no chunks), but still, it's pretty good. Too salty.
3. Cream of Chicken: Not exactly "creamy", but slightly thicker than the chicken noodle. Too salty.
The price is amazing. At $16.64 for 12 4-packet boxes, it's 35¢/packet. I usually use two for an afternoon snack/meal that will last me a couple of hours for less than $1.00. These same boxes are available elsewhere for up to twice this price.
I like buying by the case, but I wish they had a variety pack. They have a shelf life of about a year.
The 4 rating is because of the sodium. I would give it a 5 if it were lower.

Organic Vegetable Base Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On the product label you will see "autolyzed yeast extract" which is another name for MSG. When yeast is autolyzed, protein is broken-down during that processing and glutamic acid is freed (processed free glutamic acid is none other than MSG). According to truthinlabeling.org, "There are over forty food ingredients besides 'monosodium glutamate' that contain processed free glutamic acid. Each, according to the FDA, must be called by its own unique, 'common or usual' name." Thus, food manufacturers can state 'no added MSG' for their product yet the product may still contain MSG disguised by another name, such as 'autolyzed yeast extract', 'hydrolyzed protein', 'calcium caseinate', etc. You get the point. MSG and its various pseudonyms are everywhere and in everything (including body care products, infant formula, etc.) so read, read, read labels please and become informed.

(More customer reviews)Rapunzel does us free glutamic acid in their yeast to boost flavor despite claiming it is not in the product. Third party tests have revealed this to be true. I had a horrific reaction to this last night.
