Summary: Good Bargain Meal or Snack Staple
Comment: Perhaps, like me, you have been on diet plans that include prepackaged food items. Sometimes I wonder if the primary goal of these diets is to deluge us with such foul and overpriced food that we will never want to eat again. It's possible that this isn't the worst strategy, as people often lose weight on them, and I have found that my health is best when I follow them, both quantitatively and qualitatively. However, while I may be forgiving of bad taste in the pursuit of a healthier me, I am not willing to throw all of my money into that black cauldron.

So, as you may have guessed, I have decided to structure my own rigid meal plan using much less expensive store items. Chef Boyardee is about as cheap as these canned soups get, and I set my expectations accordingly. Upon first opening the can, I was pleased to find it stuffed tight with food. This is quite good, as small cans of soup are sometimes filled with too much broth and not filling at all. I find this is particularly true of "diet" soups, which simply lower the calories by increasing the amount of water. As this soup is rice based, the primary concern is texture, and I was very pleased - not mushy and not crunchy. The chicken and vegetables are in reasonable quantities for this price range and good quality. I much prefer this to the discount soups stuffed with low quality chicken.

Overall, I was very pleased with this soup, and would give it 5 stars given the price. For a higher price, some competitors up the quality by including more chicken breast, but I find that they do little more in terms of creating a better flavor.

Summary: A great Gluten-Free product!
Comment: It's very difficult to find gluten free products that are convenient for travel, cost effective and taste good. This one fits all those criteria.

Summary: As good as you'll get
Comment: The serving size, like all of these 7 ounce "bowls" is small. If you're an adult looking for a meal, this isn't it. It definitely works as a healthy snack or a meal substitute if you're dieting.

The rice is mixed with chicken and veggies, and the whole thing tastes pretty darn good. It's not something you'd want to eat on a daily basis, but a couple times a week is fine.

It heats up perfectly in one minute.

Overall, not as well executed as the Ravioli, but not bad at all.
