(6 pack) Bear Creek Country Kitchens Chicken Noodle Soup Mix, 8 Servings, Shelf Stable, 8.4oz Pouch

At a time when I was quite sick, this soup made the difference. It was so soothing, the sodium content was perfect, dipping crackers in it made it so comforting. It was the only thing I was craving at the time and I ate on it for several days just for the comfort.

My family really loved this soup. The flavor is yummy and comforting, and it makes a generous amount — perfect for an easy dinner, and the leftovers are great for lunch the next day. We enjoy most of the Bear Creek “just add water” soups because they're simple to prepare when resources are limited or when you just want something warm and satisfying. I did find that it needed a little longer to cook than the package suggests; the noodles and vegetables were still a bit tough at the recommended time, but a few extra minutes made a big difference. One thing to note: this is chicken flavored but doesn't include actual chicken. My children said they would've liked chicken in it, so next time I plan to add a can of chicken or some shredded chicken to make it heartier. I served it with crackers on the side, which paired perfectly. Overall, this is a yummy, comforting soup and a great pantry staple — just allow a little extra cook time and consider adding chicken for a fuller meal.
