Try Progresso Soup Drops, the new Progresso Soup Candy inspired by Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup. Available at progressoSoupDrops.com for a limited time!

Progresso is celebrating National Soup Month by reimagining a classic comfort food — as a hard candy called Soup Drops.

If you didn’t know, January is National Soup Month, and a company that often comes to mind when you think of canned soup decided to offer people a different way to experience chicken noodle: in the form of drops.

The brand says the savory drops are available for a limited time in January for National Soup Month, and the peak of cold and flu season.

Each order of 20 drops comes in a container resembling Progresso’s actual soup cans and is accompanied by a can of actual Progresso Traditional Chicken Noodle Soup. The cost of both is $2.49, plus 99 cents shipping.

The Soup Drops will be available for a limited time throughout January, which is also National Soup Month. Those looking to get their hands on the drops can purchase them at ProgressoSoupDrops.com starting at 9 a.m. Eastern Time on January 16. Additional drops will be released every Thursday for the rest of the month, while supplies last.

The company says the chicken noodle soup-flavoured drops taste like broth, savoury veggies, soft egg noodles and a sprinkle of parsley. Each $2.49 can comes with 20 lozenges. The main ingredient in the lozenges is isomalt, a sugar substitute often found in sugar-free treats, as well as chicken meat powder and chicken fat.

Progresso has introduced chicken noodle soup drops, a new product designed to provide the comfort of traditional chicken noodle soup in a convenient hard candy form. The drops taste similar to Progresso's traditional chicken noodle soup. This limited edition item is available only for the month of January.

General Mills on Thursday launched a limited-edition hard candy celebrating the savory comfort of Progresso's most-loved soups. “When you’re sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than Chicken Noodle Soup.
