The Soup Drops are hard candy drops made in the flavor of Progresso's classic Chicken Noodle Soup. The drops are sold in a can designed like the brand's regular soup cans, with 20 individually wrapped candies. It also comes with one can of Progresso's regular Chicken Noodle Soup.

"When you’re sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than Chicken Noodle Soup. So, we thought, why stop at the soup bowl?" said MC Comings, VP, Business Unit Director for Progresso at General Mills. "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.”
