For those of you that had this, were you impressed?
After having this, my thoughts are it’s hotter than most mainstream Ghost pepper branded items but still not that hot.

It’s spicy for a canned soup but it definitely is not good.
Parnwig
Super salty and not a good flavor to me. I won’t get it again.
2xthepride2xthefall
No. Lots of heat, but no flavor.
ShiftyState
Not in the slightest.
It just wasn’t.
It wasn’t spicy. It wasn’t hearty. It was barely chunky. It didn’t taste like anything but a little cayenne sprinkled into watered-down chicken broth.

I enjoyed it.

Impressed? I don’t know if that’s the right word for any canned soup. It tasted exactly like the nostalgic canned chicken noodle soup, but very spicy. Pretty much exactly what I expected.

No super gross!

Just make good soup and add ghost pepper flakes

Looking at the comments, I’m super stoked I just bought a can lol

Made my butt cry sad tears after eating. Do not recommend.

Tastes like salt and sadness. But it does have a bit of a kick for being store bought canned soup.
oppositegeneva
It had a lil kick to it and I love canned soup so I buy it occasionally but I was shocked people on this subreddit say they can’t finish it
Spicier than most mainstream things labeled ghost pepper, so that was nice, but that isn’t saying much lol

It wasn’t spicy at all, and had no flavor.

I’d call it “okay” on both heat and flavor. Adding 1/2 tsp of ground cumin helped make the flavor actually pretty decent, The heat was more than I expect from canned products, but it wasn’t anything to write home about.

Nah it was pretty bad. It was spicy. Spicy as fuck for a big commercial company like that actually, but it lacked flavor with the spice. I like a spicy profile to my flavorful food, I don’t just like spice. So it gets a 4/10 in my book.
nosybystander
Not impressed by any means but I appreciated the effort because usually you get 0 hint of ghost pepper. It does require a large amount of jazzing up just for flavor, and I did add a lot of ghost pepper powder to give it more of a kick.

For Campbell’s….yes. I was pleasantly surprised, I’d buy it again.
AbnormalHorse
I haven’t tried it, because I’m kinda repulsed by canned soup? These Campbell’s Chunky ones are so gross.
That said, whatever they’ve done to the label design pushes a button for me. I can’t even elucidate what about it makes it attractive to me from the shelf. I think it’s just the red on black? I DUNNO. My eyes definitely pause on it when I cruise past the canned soups.
Glad to know it’s kinda lame. I always add hot sauce to my canned soups if I’m forced to eat ’em.

There’s a reason 60+ cans of this are in the bargain bin at the store
De4thMonkey
There was no food in it. Just spicy
hiker_mittens
It’s not my favorite, still had to add Bear Spray sauce but I do that with other chunky soup. It’s cheaper and better to add some peri peri to chicken noodle, that’s my go to.
MattyIce8998
I actually liked it.
It’s at the upper end of what I’d find comfortable to eat, which is great and doesn’t happen often. And tastes fine, just normal chicken soup.
getsome13
Spicy for mass produced, sure….but not tasty.
Also, it absolutely wrecked my stomach, which is extremely rare for me
RHOPKINS13
Garbage. Soup is too thin and doesn’t really have much flavor, just heat.
spacechimp
I appreciate the fact that they put in a better effort than most. There is enough heat added that it goes beyond using “ghost pepper” as a meaningless marketing term like “flamin’ hot”. That said: It seems like it is just soup with a bit of extract added. It didn’t change the flavor profile at all — there was just extra heat.
BeerNutzo
Hot garbage. Sits on the stomach like something you shouldn’t have eaten. Processed trash food.
globs-of-yeti-cum
It was indeed spicy, but still just pretty mediocre canned soup. Not great
Sowf_Paw
It didn’t even meet the low standards I had for it.
Norst4thwckd
Funnily enough I just had my first can today, tastes like soggy, bland Campbells chicken noodle soup. No pepper flavor or scent cause they used extracts but it was surprisingly spicy for a big brand. Don’t drink the broth, got cramps as soon as it hit my stomach. Should have seen that one coming.
deadzed85
8/10 spice 6/10 flavor but way too greasy
Camper198
It looks like I might be the only one that likes it.
easymachtdas
No
AmoebaNext_
No. It’s just spicy. Not tasty. It’s hot for the sake of being hot. But it’s not hot enough if that’s all you’re after.
AlternativePOTUS
It’s kinda hot, flavor overall is pretty meh IMO.
Raethule
my goto from campbells is the chicken tortilla soup, add my own sauce to taste, better than this by far.
Koolaidsfan
Can bad
Sub000000
It’s good. Just like the regular chicken noodles but spicy. Unfortunately the spice adds no additional flavor.
Plastic_Primary_4279
Yeah, it’ll make your nose run, but it doesn’t taste very good.
I’d rather buy a reg can and add my own spice/sauce…
DonDaBomb13
It’s spicy for canned soup, the spice doesn’t add too much to the flavor profile unfortunately
Dry_Wallaby_4933
We finally got this soup here in Canada. I was surprised by how hot it was for something mainstream. It’s almost as hot as Buldak 2x. It’s not anywhere near as good as homemade soup and not really healthy obviously but it’s a nice lazy late night snack/guilty pleasure. I like it and will be purchasing more for sure.
Wing21Wing
Very good imo
Absentmindedgenius
Spicy water with garbage floating in it.
threadedanimal
I do not recommend choking on that soup you might feel the burn in your ears
pnmartini
One of the worst things I’ve ever eaten.
Spicy chemically tasting water.
huge43
Spicier than I expected. I don’t think the flavor was as bad as everyone here is making it out to be….but I wouldn’t buy it again most likely.
VaderNova
I wouldn’t say impressed. It’s good as a Campbells soup don’t get me wrong. But just like anything else that claims to be “ghost pepper” or “extra hot” only has a hint of spice. Just buy some regular soup and add your own spice. It’s all a gimmick.
Muted-Shirt-1421
Tasted like shit and was hot as fuck for a commercial brand. Hottest product I’ve had in a year from a big brand. Had like two bites and threw the rest away. Awful
