It's okay tomato soup   2010-08-12
By Michigoon (Mid-MI)
I'm not sure if I grew up with a different sort of tomato soup than most reviewers, or if I just got a bad batch, but I'm not getting a heartfelt home-made tomato soup flavor. When I emptied out my pack of tomato soup and gave it a good mix, I got a visibly grainy result. I even added a little extra hot water, wondering if I'd put too little in. I've tried several packets, and each time I can still press my spoon across the bottom of my bowl and get a grating sound from the unmixed ingredients. The product is very salty, and the consistency suffers from the grit. It's not a bad flavor overall, largely because of my personal tastes. I leave most tomato soups in condensed form, even reducing them just a little to get them really thick so the soup sticks to crackers and sandwiches. Given that, the slightly grainy results I get from Cup-a-Soup very nearly fit from my taste. Overall, this is fine as a quick treat once in a while, but it's too salty for regular use. Keep in mind this is coming from someone who likes really thick and salty soups, so I feel this product goes overboard. I feel this product overall tastes a lot like it came from a packet, instead of fresh or even from the can. Recommended for tomato soup fans who need their soup on-the-go, but only once in a while.
Very convenient, good taste, too much salt   2010-08-07

These are stocked in the snack room at work. I tried a few and thought they were pretty good, so I now have them at home for quick snacks. They taste about as good as canned soups, but calling them "soup" is a stretch. These are powdered mixes, so the soup is broth and noodles. I'm OK with that for a snack, but these would never be confused with stew or even real soup. ;-) For me, the main attraction is convenience. They mix fairly well with hot water, but I use a small battery-powered blender to eliminate the clumps. This doesn't work so well for the ones with noodles. My main concern is the sodium. I usually dilute it with at least 30% more water because it's just too salty. The calories are fairly low except for the tomato, which I found surprising. But I see that there's 13g of sugar in every packet. Wow! Cal/Fat . . . Salt . . Sugar . . . Flavor . 45/10 . . 470mg . . 01g . . Spring vegetable . 45/10 . . 550mg . . 00g . .

Tomato (Sorry about the periods, but Amazon keeps compressing out multiple spaces.) These are my favorites in order of preference: 1. Tomato: This is pretty good tomato soup -- guess it's the sugar. ;-) And it's too salty. 2. Chicken Noodle with White Meat: The "white meat" is just a memory (no chunks), but still, it's pretty good. Too salty. 3. Cream of Chicken: Not exactly "creamy", but slightly thicker than the chicken noodle. Too salty. The price is amazing. At $16.64 for 12 4-packet boxes, it's 35¢/packet. I usually use two for an afternoon snack/meal that will last me a couple of hours for less than $1.00. These same boxes are available elsewhere for up to twice this price. I like buying by the case, but I wish they had a variety pack. They have a shelf life of about a year. The 4 rating is because of the sodium. I would give it a 5 if it were lower.

Just like grandma used to make!   2010-05-09

Wow, nothing like a bowl of Lipton Tomato Cup-a-Soup to take me back to my childhood. I remember that when my mother had one of her, well, let's just call them "episodes", she'd drop me off at grandma's house and disappear for hours, maybe even days, but grandma would always force a smile and let me sit down with one of those connect-the-dots books while she'd make me a big, satisfying bowl of tomato soup. First she'd get some tomato powder out of a big metal tin. Back then, if you wanted tomato powder you had to make your own, and grandma used to grow her own tomatoes in her yard and dry them in the hot sun on her porch, and then she'd grind them into powder using mortar and pestle. Grandma would pour several big scoops of tomato powder in a big stock pot, and for every scoop of tomato powder she'd add a scoop of sugar, then she's stir it together and in a half an hour or so I'd have enough tomato soup to quietly sit and eat for hours while she watched her soap operas on her "portable" 19 inch black-and-white Motorola television. Ahhhh memories. Now I can have tomato powder and sugar any time I want, and in half a minute -- not half an hour -- with this amazingly hearty and satisfying instant tomato soup! Just open a pouch into a microwavable cup and in a few short seconds, lunch is served. A lunch full of rich tomatoey goodness that will remind you of a simpler time, and perhaps bring back some childhood memories of your own. Seriously, I made up that stuff about grandma, but I didn't make up the half sugar part. Check it out for yourself. This stuff is half sugar! Why? I though I was enjoying something delicious (well, as delicious as microwaved powder in water tend to get) and saving money on lunch too, and then I looked and found it was half sugar. Are the tomatoes they make the powder out of so sour that they need all this sugar? I don't get it, but I was very disappointed. However, if you really love tomato soup, this is a very fast and cost effective way to get it, and it tastes amazing good all things considered.
Like the soup I had when I was a kid.   2010-02-14

I have loved tomatoes and tomato soup since I was little. My mom would hand me a can of Campbell's and send me off to walk to the babysitter, to eat before I went to kindergarten. I always ate the whole can's worth. Now I am a nearly-retired engineer, working in an office many miles from home. My wife of 34 years sends me off with things for my lunch. When there isn't Lipton Tomato Cup-A-Soup in the bag, I reach into my bottom file drawer and pull one out of my own stash. The coffee machine makes the hot water for mixing it on the spot, and I love it as much as I did in 1957. It's not a fine restaurant, it's my desk. It's not gourmet soup in a beautiful china bowl, it's Cup-A-Soup in my coffee cup. But it's tomato.
