soup that you just add water to and heat no no you cook these These are ingredients it takes 8 to 10 minutes depending on the kind of soup you cook it yourself it's homemade and therefore it has that flavor and it has the flavor of the kind of soup that ordinarily if you were to make it the oldfashioned way would take hours of simmering on a hot stove all day you do it in 10 minutes sure I know when you go in the grocery store there are all those cans that are so easy to pick up and you have to go way on down till you find the lipin envelopes but do it one time remember to do it once and try
