Tabatchnik New York Style Chicken Broth with Noodles & Vegetables

This tasted almost identical to their other chicken soup with dumplings, just with more noodles in it (and no dumplings). Same difficult greasy frozen pack to open, but otherwise the cooking was unproblematic (I did have to add an extra minute of cook time though). Really, there's sort of a weird taste to this -- corn starch? Chicken fat? And there's very little seasoning or salt flavor, which is quite different from a canned soup. Nevertheless, it's allergy-friendly, and therefore good to have around for sick days (as I experienced today!).

Tabatchnick Chicken Broth with Noodles & Dumplings

I never expected to venture into the frozen soup space, but this is a rare chicken noodle soup that has zero soy protein in it. Amazing. A true blessing. It's weird to make because it's a frozen block of soup that sort of overhangs any normal human sized bowl, so you have to have a plate underneath and an active stirring mindset, but overall the cooking was still fairly simple. The result is much less saltier/flavorful than I expected, given the salt content, but that's OK - I don't mind a bland, hot chicken water. The noodles are good, firm, eggy, and plentiful, and the little carrot squares are also good. The dumplings (n=2) are weird balls of cornmeal, not noodle/flour, but they're filling I guess. Overall, this is OK if you need a chicken soup. I don't yearn for it but I was happy to have it yesterday when I came home with a budding illness! And I'll definitely try out their other pea-free options.
