I can't be angry at Progresso for this because this is the world we live in. The drops are either a soup-flavored lozenge that people can suck on instead of cough drops, or soup-flavored hard candy. It's tough to tell for sure. Either way, as a seasoned food writer, I knew it was my fate to experience soup in lozenge form.\r\n

What do Progresso Soup Drops taste like?<\/h2>\r\n\"Progresso\r\n\r\nI wish I could tell you the drops tasted like a cup of homemade chicken noodle soup<\/a>. But the drops don't taste like soup or even like chicken, for that matter. The only flavor I have confidence in naming is \"crushed black pepper from a spice rack that was manufactured in 1972.\" The other flavors are no creation of God or nature.\r\n\r\nI sat silently with a soup drop in my mouth for five whole minutes<\/em> trying to figure out how to explain Progresso Soup Drops, and that's the best I can offer. I hoped this would be an encapsulated version of a warm cup of\u00a0chicken broth<\/a>, but unfortunately, Progresso missed the mark.\r\n

What are Progresso Soup Drops made of?<\/h2>\r\nTurning to the back of the can, it seems Progresso Soup Drops are primarily made of isomalt (a sugar substitute commonly used for hard candy) and salt, with cornstarch, MSG, powdered cooked chicken, natural and artificial flavor, chicken fat, palm oil, potassium chloride, spices and<\/em> coloring, citric acid, disodium guanylate, disodium inosinate, caramel color and maltodextrin for flavor, stability and excitement.\r\n

How long will Progresso Soup Drops be available?<\/h2>\r\n

You can buy Progresso Soup Drops at progressosoupdrops.com<\/u><\/a> for the rest of January, while supplies last. Each bundle includes 20 individually wrapped soup drops in a mini soup can and a full-size can of Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup for $2.49 plus shipping. Honestly, that's not a bad deal\u2014which is probably why the drops are currently sold out. Keep an eye on the calendar, because a new batch will drop on Thursday, January 30.<\/p>\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
