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

Progresso's Soup Drops are available online every Thursday, at 9 a.m. ET, until the end of January, which also happens to be National Soup Month.

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 product resembles cough drops, and unites two flu-time classics – a warm broth and hard candy – into “soup you can suck on” for the height of cold season, parent company General Mills said in a statement on launch day.

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 announced Thursday it is introducing Progresso Soup Drops, which is a chicken noodle soup-flavored hard candy.

Progresso has stirred up a soup-er strange confection to honor National Soup Month. Through the end of January, the soup giant is selling chicken noodle-flavored hard candies — “soup you can suck on,” parent company General Mills announced in a news release Thursday.
