As many people appreciate, a warm, soothing bowl of soup is comforting, satisfying, and delicious. While cradling that bowl can be inviting, that serving method is not always convenient. With the new Progresso Soup Drops, that classic soup flavor can be enjoyed anywhere and anytime.
Food cravings can hit at the most inconvenient times. Whether it is driving the kids to school or while traveling for work, that hunger for a particular food, flavor, or ingredient can be almost insatiable. When the stove, bowl, or other kitchen essentials are unavailable, what option does a person have?
The new Progresso Soup Drops are the first savory hard candy. Yes, all that delicious Progresso Traditional Chicken Soup flavor is packed into a hard candy. It is the National Soup Month innovation that no one saw coming.
As MC Comings, VP, Business Unit Director for Progresso at General Mills explained, “For decades, Progresso Soup has brought you cozy comfort on chilly days or when you’re under the weather. When you’re sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than Chicken Noodle Soup. So, we thought, why stop at the soup bowl? We took the beloved flavors of our Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup and packed them into a fun, savory candy Soup Drop for a totally new way to enjoy the taste you love whenever and wherever you want.”
To be clear, these are savory hard candies. Basically, the brand has packed the full taste of a spoonful of Chicken Noodle Soup into a small treat. It has herbs, vegetables flavors, even a hint of those egg noodles. It is the most unexpected way to enjoy soup, but one that should not be missed.
Depending on the success of the Progresso Soup Drops, it could be a new food trend that captivates people. While there is a novelty with this concept, there is something to be said about more savory focused treats. There were Beer Mints before. Also, if there can be tomato infused wine, why can’t a favorite dish’s flavor turn into a candy concept?
For anyone who would like to try the Progresso Soup Drops, they are available only at ProgressoSoupDrops.com. The limited edition offering is available for $2.49, which is similar to the cost for a can of soup. Additionally, there is a 99 cent shipping charge. The package includes 20 candies. The brand will restock with more drops periodically.
