Chicken noodle soup

Savory and mild, with soft noodles, tender chicken pieces, and a light, salty broth.

Lens analyzed

Canned chicken noodle soup is a ready-to-heat soup of chicken, noodles, and vegetables in broth, sold shelf-stable and meant to be warmed straight from the can or diluted with water depending on the brand. It's one of the most recognized comfort foods in North American pantries.

Where it comes from

Condensed and ready-to-eat canned soups became a household staple after canning and condensing technology matured in the early 20th century, with chicken noodle becoming an enduring, widely stocked flavor across brands.

Buying it

Check whether the can is condensed, which needs added water or milk, or ready-to-serve, which doesn't. Look for a dent-free can, since dents near seams can compromise the seal.

Storing it

An unopened can stores well in the pantry for a long time. Once opened, transfer leftovers to a sealed container in the fridge and use within a few days.

Keeps about 2 years in the pantry.
