Progresso’s Portable ‘Soup Drops’ Offer a Surprising Twist on a Classic Favorite
Soup on the go? We're all in.
Progresso is introducing a new way to enjoy soup, perfect for this wildly unpredictable cold and flu season.
On Thursday, the brand announced that it's bringing Soup Drops to the world, which it says is "soup you can suck." And if you need way more information, we've got you covered.
“For decades, Progresso Soup has brought you cozy comfort on chilly days or when you’re under the weather,” MC Comings, the vice president of business unit director for Progresso at General Mills, shared in a statement. “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.”
So, yes, it's essentially soup candy.
Progresso's Soup Drops, the company explained, delivers the same taste as its Chicken Noodle Soup, all contained in a tiny hard candy. "It will have soup fans feeling like they just slurped a spoonful of Progresso’s iconic Chicken Noodle Soup that they know and love," it added. "It’s like broth, savory veggies, chicken, soft egg noodles, and a hint of parsley have all been stirred up in a surprising way that’s sure to wow your taste buds."
And if you want the soup drops, you need to act fast, as they will only be available for a limited time for the rest of National Soup Month, aka January. To buy them, you need to head to ProgressoSoupDrops.com at 9 a.m. Eastern on January 16.

Additional quantities will be released every Thursday for the rest of National Soup Month while supplies last. As a little bonus, the Soup Drops come in a can that looks just like the Progresso Soup can with 20 individually wrapped candies inside. Each order also comes with a can of actual Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup as a little bonus. The drops are going for $2.49 plus $.99 for shipping. The bragging rights of being one of the few to snag Soup Drops is priceless.
