Changing Chicken Noodle Soup

At first blush, it feels a little like changing the note rung by the Liberty Bell doesn’t it! The New York Times is reporting that soup giant Campbell Soup is changing the recipe for its classic chicken noodle soup! What’s next? Taking spots off Dalmatians? Taking the pink out of pepto?

Word is the company is dropping the number of ingredients from 30 to 20, and saying most of the ingredients in the revamped recipe can be found in the average kitchen.

Campbell CEO Denise Morrison told the Times, "We're closing the gap between the kitchen and our soup plants."

Some of the ingredients being removed include potassium chloride, monosodium glutamate, maltodextrin and lactic acid, but some real food is coming out too, with celery and onions getting the boot.
