While most folks flock to the cough drop aisle at the first sign
of a cold, Progresso is here to say, “Hold my spoon!” Progresso
Soup Drops deliver the classic, hearty flavor of Progresso Chicken
Noodle Soup in a format that will definitely SOUPrise fans — it’s a
convenient hard candy drop — reminding you of the comfort you can
find in a bowl of Progresso Soup. These savory drops are arriving
for a limited time this month for National Soup Month, right at the
height of cold and flu season. Now, there’s no spoon needed to dive
into the classic taste of the iconic Progresso Traditional Chicken
Noodle Soup, but you certainly can reach for the real thing if
you’re looking for that feeling of a hug in a bowl!
“For decades, Progresso Soup has brought you cozy comfort on
chilly days or when you’re under the weather,” said MC Comings, VP,
Business Unit Director for Progresso at General Mills. “When you’re
sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than Chicken Noodle Soup.
So, we thought, why stop at the soup bowl? We took the beloved
flavors of our Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup and packed them into a
fun, savory candy Soup Drop for a totally new way to enjoy the
taste you love whenever and wherever you want.”
While this new savory hard candy may be a first for the brand,
it will have soup fans feeling like they just slurped a spoonful of
Progresso’s iconic Chicken Noodle Soup that they know and love.
That favorite flavor is packed into each drop — it’s like broth,
savory veggies, chicken, soft egg noodles and a hint of parsley
have all been stirred up in a surprising way that’s sure to wow
your taste buds. And the best part is you can enjoy Soup Drops
anywhere — in the carpool line, during a grocery run, while folding
laundry, sitting at the doctor's office or hiding out under the
covers. The coziness you crave is just one Drop away!
You can get your hands on the limited-edition Progresso Soup
Drops, exclusively at ProgressoSoupDrops.com starting on Thursday,
Jan. 16 at 9 a.m. ET (with additional quantities released every
Thursday for the rest of National Soup Month, while supplies last)!
The Soup Drops come in a can that looks just like the iconic
Progresso Soup can with 20 individually wrapped candies within.
Each order also comes with a can of actual Progresso Traditional
Chicken Noodle Soup, all for just $2.49 – the typical price of a
can of Progresso Soup – plus 99 cents shipping. Stock up on this
soup you can suck on — for comfort when you need it, and really
just to say you tried it — and feel SOUPported this cold and flu
season!
