Soup Comparison
We’re a chicken soup expert. Our grandmother and mother made great chicken soup; and we think ours is even better. So it counts when we say that both of these soups are most enjoyable, yet both lack what makes our soup great: fresh herbs. So if you receive soup as a gift, cut fresh parsley and/or dill into it (we use both).
Both are good, satisfying and welcome. Personally, we prefer the soup from Grandma’s because we don’t like salt. The larger chunks of chicken and vegetables made it more of a meal than a bowl of soup. Here’s a side-by-side comparison.

	Grandma’s Chicken Soup	Spoonful Of Comfort
Broth	Clear, light, not salty	Slightly heartier and obviously salted
Noodles	Lots of curly noodles	Lots of fettuccine, cut in varying lengths
Vegetables	Large chunks (1") of carrots, celery, onion)	Small dice of carrots and celery
Chicken	Large chunks of succulent white and dark meat	Large chunks of succulent white meat
Packaging	Arrives in a festive outer carton, white with big orange and white bubbles (circles). Soup is in a plastic container that melted a bit when we cleaned it in the dishwasher, so we couldn’t reuse it. (It is recyclable, though.)	Packing carton is plain, but there are lovely yellow polka dot grosgrain ribbon ties and handsomely-printed cards on each of the box contents. Soup is in a large, reusable glass jar.
Add-Ons	Many, from challah, cake and chocolate to mugs, stuffed bears and the “Chicken Soup For The Soul” book.	Six challah-like rolls and/or 6 homemade-style oatmeal cookies
Price*	Half gallon soup: $29.99 Choice of noodles and/or matzoh balls Add-on gift sets $39.00 to $70.00	Soup: $32.00 Noodles only Rolls and/or cookies: $6/package

Comments

Send more of each—we were bereft when the soup was gone. They made us feel great: true comfort food.
Both brands of chicken soup could be enhanced with a bit of fresh parsley and/or dill.

So what’s the difference between chicken soup, chicken broth, chicken bouillon and other drinkable forms of chicken? Find out on the next page.
