About the Brand
The Healthy Choice story began with former ConAgra Foods CEO Charles "Mike" Harper. While traveling through California on business, this hot-fudge-sundae lover suffered a mild heart attack. Although he made a full recovery, he needed to evaluate his eating habits. So he began a search for foods that satisfied both his taste and health needs. When his search proved unsuccessful, he took it upon himself to bring to market products that taste good and are good for you. And that's how Healthy Choice was born. All Healthy Choice products today are built on the same philosophy Mike Harper had more than a decade ago--foods that are made from real ingredients and prepared in such a way that high-quality flavor and nutrition are maintained.p ConAgra Foods quickly embraced Harper's idea and introduced the first line of Healthy Choice products in 1988, consisting of 10 frozen meals. Over 15 years later, Healthy Choice offers more than 200 products that expand to a variety of food categories, none of which compromise on taste or nutrition.

Customer Reviews

this'll always hit the spot--even with that packaging...
Healthy Choice makes an excellent soup and this chicken with rice soup in a microwavable bowl is no exception. The soup is delicious and overall fairly healthy for you.

I like that the soup provides a good deal of chicken, vegetables and even the rice tastes fresh! The broth is also very tasty. Healthy Choice makes a high quality chicken noodle soup than most other brands because they include chicken and rice while keeping limits on fats, sugars and cholesterol.

One look at the ingredients shows us more positives: There are no trans fats and the soup has almost zero saturated fat. It is also extremely low in cholesterol. However, it does contain sodium (480 mg per serving) so if you need to watch your sodium intake please consider this before buying this product.

Unfortunately, sometimes the top lid is difficult to remove and then you have to handle the bowl very carefully to avoid spilling the soup. The soup is filled up almost to the brim of the bowl; and so it's easy to spill a little! The top lid is somewhat cumbersome and doesn't really help enough when it's on top of the bowl inside the microwave oven, either. The cover didn't completely cover the soup bowl in the microwave and some soup spilled inside the microwave. And yes, you DO need a solid surface on which you can open this container otherwise you are almost certain to have a spill because the soup bowl is filled completely.

Overall, the soup itself is excellent. The packaging, on the other hand, is nothing special. The cover lid is cumbersome to remove and inside the microwave soup can spill out through the cover. I think that the packaging drives the cost of this soup higher than it otherwise might be. The packaging needs to be changed; perhaps Healthy Choice could make a slightly higher bowl so that the soup won't easily spill out when you remove the plastic lid.

I highly recommend this for people who love chicken soup with vegetables and rice if they don't need to worry about sodium in their diets. If you are bothered by the packaging, however, then try another brand. Five stars for the actual soup combined with three stars for the packaging makes this a four star review.

Serve it hot!
This is really good soup, all thats missing is a good piece of bread and some butter...but I guess then it wont be healthy anymore

Excellent product!
When you think of what you could spend on junk for snacks at work, this is really quite a bargain. My own "research" tells me that soup helps cut the munchies. Bring a couple of them to work, and you just might be able to stay out of the cookie jar or vending machine.

Of course it's not the same as home-made, but as a close second, Healthy Choice has the added benefit of great packaging that allows you to stockpile for those days when you've forgotten to bring other food and can't get out to pick something up.

Healthy Choice soup is definitely worth trying.
