 Lots of broth, light on taste October 20, 2008
Healthy Choice soups are not my first choice when it comes to ready-made soups. These are convenient to take to work, though, so I often pair one of these with some crackers or a bag of tortilla chips to round-out a meal. They're easy to open and heat.
The Chicken with Rice Soup is a little light on the rice, however. This is not a hearty meal. There's much more broth than chicken, rice, or vegetables in the package. The flavor is light, and especially not as salty as other ready-made soups. The chicken, vegetables and the rice are of decent quality, though, and this soup almost always seems "fresh" after I heat it -- it doesn't seem like it's from a can or container.
One plus - I find that the Healthy Choice lids are much easier to remove than those of their competition, with no strange tabs to squeeze or excessive force required to remove the plastic lids. Recommended for a light lunch especially when trying to watch your calorie intake.
this'll always hit the spot--even with that packaging... June 21, 2008

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.

Healthy Choice is the real healthy choice when it comes to soups. It's delicious combination of vegetables and meat make it hard to believe it's so healthy. Watching your weight and cholesterol has never been as easy. The healthy choice products come in a variety of food choices so you can always choose what you like. Its hearty and easy to prepare, since it comes in its own microwavable bowl. Don't waste time, just getting healthy today.
Great taste, low sodium, a must-have for soup lovers April 2, 2008

In less than 2 minutes in the microwave, you can enjoy a soup that has great-tasting chicken, delicious rice, and low sodium content; in doing so, you will make a healthy choice while on the job or at home. After finishing this soup, your body will feel healthier than it would with high-sodium soups. Beware of soups that have sodium content approaching 1 gram; instead, choose Healthy Choice's Chicken with Rice Soup and give your heart a break.
Convenient March 15, 2008
My husband and daughter really enjoy this soup. I like how convenient it is for them to grab, heat up, and eat.
