Campbell's Low Sodium Chicken with Noodles Soup

Chicken noodle soup is one of those things that everybody has had in their lifetime, and Campbell's really does it best in my honest opinion. But, their regular chicken noodle soup contains 100% of the daily requirement of sodium - over 2200 mg (read the review). So, they tried to improve upon the nutrition by giving us a low sodium version, with only 120 mg. They succeeded in making it healthier while at the same time, they made the sodium/salt content so low that this has no taste at all. It's like drinking hot water with bits of chicken and noodles - not good. Campbell's, can we get a medium sodium version?

But I do applaud Campbell's for giving us this choice. There are many people on a low sodium diet, who might find this product useful. In addition to low sodium, one can only has 130 calories, 4.5 grams fat, and 1.5 grams saturated fat. It may even be good as a soup base. But for the rest of the population not on a sodium restricted diet, I suggest you check out some of the other soups reviewed for another alternative, because if you buy this, you probably will feel like you threw away your dollar and change.

Our local Kroger Holt,Mi) removed all the low sodium soups. They did special order the low sodium chicken noodle for me but it is almost impossible to find these great low sodium soups. So many people are now watching their sodium intake and these soups are just the ticket. That is when you can find them.
