Minnesota-based General Mills, which owns and makes Progresso soup, is selling limited-edition Soup Drops to celebrate National Soup Month.

What Are Soup Drops?

The chicken soup-flavored candies are being sold in a soup can container, and each drop has the flavor of "broth, savory veggies, chicken, soft egg noodles, and a hint of parsley."

Where to Buy Soup Drops

The Soup Drops are being sold at ProgressoSoupDrops.com. The first batch sold out, but you'll have another chance to grab them on Thursdays throughout January.

Each can of Soup Drops contains 20 candies and costs $2.49, plus $1 for shipping. They will be available Thursday mornings at 8 AM CST for the remainder of the month, or until they sell out.

General Mills’ Inspiration for Soup Drops

General Mills VP, MC Comings, said in a press release, "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."
