Hearty, familiar, and genuinely satisfying with big pieces of chicken, sturdy vegetables, and noodles that stay closer to al dente. It lists more sodium than Rao’s, yet in a blind sip, it tasted less salty.

What I loved: Generous chicken, al dente noodles, comforting broth, and good texture.

Small quibble: The nutrition panel shows higher sodium even though the flavor reads less salty.

Rating: 8/10
