No dislike of this excellent soup.

This soup tastes great! But....
I don't like the little "mystery meat" globs. I know they must be a blending of what's listed in there, but they aren't very tasty

While it might seem pricey for soup, it's very "clean," and that's what matters to the people I sent this to. No unwanted chemicals or additives. Wonderful for single servings, a quick meal, and for avoiding allergens and sensitivities since the ingredient list is short. Can even be eaten at room temp from the package, in case that matters to anyone. Otherwise, you can heat it in the microwave or on stove. I would NOT reheat it in the package, though. Pour it into a different container.

It's near impossible to find a good prepared soup that isn't loaded with undesirable ingredients like yeast extract, canola or soybean oil, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, or "natural" flavorings. The closest I've come so far has been Dr. MacDougall's soups, but even those have some filler ingredients. The True Primal soup is the most truly natural soup I could find.

My next biggest concern was "would there be enough meat in it?" We're so used to getting short-changed in this area. The answer turns out to be a resounding YES. There is a generous amount of chicken in each bag. It is pressed chicken though and not shredded chicken parts, which was a little disappointing at first, but once you get used to the texture it is okay.

The flavor is on the mild side, and can be doctored up if you want some more zing. Sodium content is rather high per package (1150mg) but it does not seem salty while eating it and I experience no after-effects like excessive thirst. Maybe because I don't consume a lot of salt otherwise. But if you do, just be careful. I eat the whole package at once but the company says that some people divide it into 2 servings. That makes sense if the soup is an appetizer or side dish, but not if you are eating it as a meal.

Also as with most soups without preservatives, the vegetables are soft and mushy, especially the carrots. I would prefer them less mushy, perhaps the company could cook them less? Hopefully they'll see this. Also, the broth is thin and liquidy and I would prefer a thicker soup, but then you'd have to call it a stew I suppose.

So I would rate this 4.5 stars overall. This soup has some room for improvement, but it is nonetheless at the top of it's class as far as being filling, natural, and healthy. I will admit that at $51 per 8 packages ($6.50 per package) it is a bit pricey if you eat the whole package at once, but if you break it up into 2 servings, it is a bargain for such a healthy soup. I am definitely going to order again and I will try one or more of their other flavors.

Everything was really good until I got a mouthful of what I think was supposed to be meat in it. I couldn't swallow it without gagging after that, but that is just ME, every other member of our 6 adult family really, really, really liked it!
