This is the soup that took top honors at last year's Fancy Food Show in New York, except now they're packaging it in a fully-cooked, hear & eat pouch that I don't have to refrigerate. Now I can have my Green Chile Chicken Soup in 60 seconds, not 40 minutes. It's faithful to the original recipe that I used to get at the deli at the Albuquerque airport. Delicious!

I found this soup is of all places a Big Lots store. I had a pkg. when I got home and went right back to buy what was left. It's all been gone for a long time and I hope it comes back instock soon. I think this soup is actually fresher tasting than some homemade soup, it's just darn good. Give it a try you won't be sorry.

Now I can give up trying to duplicate it! Just the right amount of heat, and it is a flavorful heat, not just a sting. Thick and satisfying, and easy to keep at the office. For me, there was not an artificial taste, I wonder if the other reviewer had an expired product. As far as shelf stable soups go, I thought it tasted a lot fresher than shelf stable grocery store stews and meals that are available by the boxed mac n cheese. A bit pricey, so only 4 stars, but if you are tired of bland and boring, this might be for you.

As a native New Mexican transplanted to New York state, I'm always searching for something authentic from back home.
This soup has all the right ingredients, but the flavor is overwhelmed by preservatives or chemicals of some kind; to me it tasted so bad that after the first package I had to throw the rest out.
If you can get past the flavor, the packaging is very convenient for lunch at work, it heats up quickly in a microwave.
