Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup


(Standard condensed version, like in the famous Andy Warhol painting)

I haven't had it in ages, but I was feeling nauseous today due to some prescription I'm on for the next week, and it seemed like just the thing, and it was.

It brought back memories of sick days from school, and watching The Price is Right hosted by pre-gray-hair Bob Barker.

The broth is excellent (but only if you add half the amount of water that the can says to add, which I've been doing since I was a kid). The noodles are soggy but that's inevitable due to the canning process.

The only problem I have with it is the lack of chicken. If you were to weigh all the tiny bits of chicken that are in one can, it would probably only be a few grams total, and you could probably fit them all at once in a soup spoon. There's an easy fix for that though. I added half a pound of cut-up raw chicken thigh meat (I like to use thigh meat because it stays tender and moist even when you boil it) to two cans of it, which made it into an actual filling meal in addition to a cure for nausea.

The original Campbell's Chunky version of Chicken Noodle Soup was delicious. Then they changed the recipe somewhere in the 90's I think and now it's a watery broth just like their other chicken noodle soups. I wish I could find that original recipe and I'd make it myself.
