General Mills on Thursday unveiled Progresso Soup Drops, a limited-edition savory cough drop that tastes like Progresso's chicken soup. It immediately sold out — but the company's making more.

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

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.

General Mills on Thursday launched a limited-edition hard candy celebrating the savory comfort of Progresso's most-loved soups.

For others, it’s cough drops and a box of tissues. While we can’t offer you blanket-sized tissues, a canned soup company has announced the next best thing: soup-flavoured cough drops. Yes, really. While one foodie writer said he’d ‘rather be sick’ than pop a Progresso ‘Soup Drop’ ever again,

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 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.

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.
