Jay's Soup Cube. Episode 1 (The Pilot)

Hi and welcome to Jay's Soup Cube, I'm your host Jay.

Today we're going to try the Healthy Choice Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle (with white meat only) from ConAgra Foods Inc.


After placing into a ceramic bowl, this canned delight cooked up in a jiff on high in the microwave. A dash of pepper and a healthy splash of Tobasco Sauce later and you're ready to go. Today's accompaniment is a Turkey and Swiss sandwich on whole wheat bread with Jay's brand hot chips and a pickle on the side. (slurp)

---eat eat eat, sip sip sip --- (Time is elapsing)

Over all I'd give this soup a 4 stars out of five. With it being touted as "Healthy" and all (note the little running man next to the 'C' in 'Choice' denoting that either: A) This soups so good you need to run to the store to buy some, B) People who run for fun tend to enjoy this soup rather then say... the Meatnormus Rib-n-Giblets Triple Cheese Burger at Burgers King or C) If you eat this soup to fast you may need to run to the bathroom), the most obvious thing you taste is the lack of sodium. We Americans love our salt and when embargoes are placed on it by Socialist companies like ConAgra Foods Inc. (the 'Con' stands of Con-munists Universal Health Care Plan Supporters I'd imagine my Super-Republican co-worker would accuse), our taste buds can pick up on it right away. Aside from the salt deficiency (there-by increasing my chances of getting a neck goiter I'm sure), what I did find refreshing was the "Only White Meat" aspect of this soup. See, every can of chicken based foodstuffs almost always claims to be made with 'only' white meat. But anyone who has ever had a can of soup knows that sometimes when that chicken-colored object that is floating at the rim of the bowl as buoyantly as a chubby kid at the community pool, it is anything but "white meat". You're never quite sure what it is exactly but you're sure as shit it isn't white meat. (It's gizzards or chicken ankle fat I always assume). The Tyson Mechanically Separated Chicken Pieces Machine never bats a thousand, we all know this. But every piece of chicken in this soup was in fact white meat chicken from what I could tell so I'm happy with it. I'd say to buy this soup when you are in need of a saltless good time and don't have hours to spend hand separating your chicken carcasses.

Tune in next time for Jay's Soup Cube when I try another brand of canned domesticated fowl in liquid.

Thanks and have a nice day.
