Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken Soup

Earlier today, I opened and ate approximately half of a can of Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken with white and wild rice Soup. Almost a year ago, my Father brought the can over and with the weather being nice and cool in Hartford today, it was a good time to try this chicken soup.

This Campbell's Chunky Soup variety is full of ingredients and flavor and it is also low in fat and calories. Presented here, in an effort to assist the consumer, is an article which reviews and examines Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken Soup with white and wild rice.

The net weight of the standard - sized container of Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken Soup with white and wild rice is 18.8 ounces (1 lb 2.8 ounces). According to the product's nutrition facts label, the container holds about two 1 cup servings. In physical size, the container is a regular style Campbell's Chunky Soup can ; it measures roughly 5" x 3".

Price
The regular retail price charged for one 18.8 ounce can of Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken with white and wild rice Soup at Hartford, Connecticut area supermarkets is approximately $1.50.

This price seems reasonable to me. It works out to $0.75c per one cup serving of soup.

Consistency / Texture
Loaded with pieces of chicken and vegetables, Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken Soup with white and wild rice offers a pleasing consistency. Not too thick and not too thin, this soup contains good sized pieces of chicken, potatoes, tomatoes, carrots, celery and corn swimming in a savory chicken stock.

A considerable amount of white and wild rice is also present in this soup. In this reviewer's humble opinion, the two types of rice add a desireable sense of ballast to the soup, making it fairly thick and enjoyable to eat. The overall mouth feel offered by this soup is quite nice.

Nutritional Facts

This low - calorie soup also contains 0.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 2 grams total fat, 10 mg of cholesterol, 810 mg of sodium, 18 grams total carbohydrates, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 1 gram of sugars and 6 grams of protein, per one cup serving.

Taste / Flavor
So far, I have eaten Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken Soup only once and for the most part I really enjoy its flavor. The pieces of white meat chicken are moist and actually taste like real chicken meat. The vegetable pieces taste nice and fresh and the white and wild rice add another appealing dimension of flavor to the soup.

The chicken stock broth in this variety of Chunky Soup is pleasant tasting, but to me, it doesn't necessarily taste very 'savory'. After reading the list of ingredients in this soup, I learned that it contains a small amount of sauterne wine, 'flavor', 'spice', chicken fat and monosodium glutamate (MSG), but I didn't see any ingredients that would lend a savory flavor to the mix.

While I do like the flavor of this soup, I think it could benefit from the infusion of some more spices and / or spicier ingredients, if it is to be named a 'savory' soup. On a flavor scale of one through ten, I would assign this product a rating of 8.50.

Packaging
Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken Soup is packaged in a regular style Chunky Soup can. The can features an easy open lid, which means that a can opener is not necessary to open the container.

The distinctive red Campbell's Chunky Soup label sports a close up illustration of the enclosed soup on the front and the rear label lists all relevant ingredient and nutritional information.

Overall Rating
All things considered, Campbell's Chunky Savory Chicken Soup is a tasty soup that is low in fat and low in calories. Loaded with pieces of chicken and vegetables, this soup is reasonably priced and is stocked and sold at food retailers across America. This product is recommended.
