 The reason that ramen noodles and soup packets have never really caught on with college kids and other busy, broke folks is that they're just too time-consuming and complicated to make. You have to find a water source, a heat source, and if you're feeling all elegant, a bowl and a spoon. Well no more, fellow noodle slurpers, no more. Fancy-pants kitchen tools like ovens, microwaves, faucets and pans will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to Campbell's new line of Fresh-Brewed Soup K-Cup packs. "Campbell is connecting with consumers in new and exciting ways. We expect this delicious Campbell’s Fresh-Brewed Soup to provide consumers with a flavorful, convenient soup that fits their lives today," said Denise Morrison, President and Chief Executive Officer of Campbell Soup Company in a press release. "Cool," said a hungover liberal arts major who didn't feel like putting on pants and wandering to the dining hall before it closed. Previously: |

Other than it's pretty much hot instant seasoned salt water and dry noodles.. I don't understand the k-cups making things easier.
Just have the brewer make hot water, pour over noodles, add salt seasoning packet. Did someone REALLY need a k-cup to understand this concept?
I usually make soups from scratch, although if I am pressed for time, I will start with a low sodium box of veggie broth, and build from there. But at any rate, I've not been impressed by K-cup coffee; I doubt even more that I'd be impressed by K-cup soups. Right now sipping down Trader Joe's caffeinated brew, from a regular coffee maker. When this thing goes the way of all coffee makers, I'm getting a French press.
Soup to be made by a Keurig brewer? Seriously? This product must be aimed at the rich and lazy because there aren't many Keurig brewers in college dormitories.
Let me be frank, and you can be kat... This sounds way more complicated to make than a cup'o noodles.
No. Just...no.
I would worry less about the problem of flavors co-mingling, and more about bacteria growth and cross contamination from soup to beverage.
Where would the cross contaminate occur? Potable water flows into the top of the punctured cup ... then what?
It come out the same nozzle the coffee or tea. duh
... and you get chicken tasting coffee or vice versa. That's not contamination, Surly, that's mixing flavors. Derp. I'd like to hear from Leslie to hear what s/he meant.

Um, what about that statement is true??
I'm thinking maybe that was meant to be sarcasm. But still, is this some kind of prank post?
I used to make minute rice in my mr coffee when I was in college, lol.
Mmmmm, Colombian with just a hint of chicken broth. Yikes!
A spot of cream in your noodles, madam?
