 Like the soup I had when I was a kid.Feb 14, 2010
By Eric Svensson
I have loved tomatoes and tomato soup since I was little. My mom would hand me a can of Campbell's and send me off to walk to the babysitter, to eat before I went to kindergarten. I always ate the whole can's worth.
Now I am a nearly-retired engineer, working in an office many miles from home. My wife of 34 years sends me off with things for my lunch. When there isn't Lipton Tomato Cup-A-Soup in the bag, I reach into my bottom file drawer and pull one out of my own stash. The coffee machine makes the hot water for mixing it on the spot, and I love it as much as I did in 1957.
It's not a fine restaurant, it's my desk. It's not gourmet soup in a beautiful china bowl, it's Cup-A-Soup in my coffee cup. But it's tomato.

 Quick, delicious and quite satisfying!Jan 28, 2008
By Kurt A. Johnson
In 1865, Thomas Johnstone Lipton went to the United States and held various jobs. After five years, he returned to Britain, and opened grocery store that soon blossomed into a whole chain. Nowadays, Lipton (now owned by Unilever) is known for two products, teas and instant soups. Well, I must say that I love Lipton's Cup-a-Soups, they come in a convenient envelope, only need hot water added, and are relatively low in fat, calories and sodium. (Yes, any packaged product will be higher in sodium than homemade, but at 506.5mg per 26g envelope, it's not that bad.)
I keep a box of the tomato Cup-a-Soups in my desk at work, and on particularly cold days, I make up a cup. Also, I must say that when I am rushed, I can make a delicious lunch out of a quick cheese sandwich and a cup of this soup! So, overall let me just say that this is a delicious product, one that is sure quick, delicious and quite satisfying!

 DISAPPOINTED ~~~ To Much Sugar.Apr 04, 2011
By Rich K
I love most Lipton soups and the convenience of making them in the microwave oven in 1 1/2 minutes is fantastic. They are a healthy alternative to coffee or soda. And yes there are some vitamins in it as apposed to coffee or soda. This is made in Canada and is all natural with no preservatives which is a good thing.
I recently purchased the Lipton Chicken Noodle with White meat " My favorite " and the Lipton Spring Vegetable which was also quite good. Since the other ones where so good for an instant soup I thought I would try the Tomato soup also. Unfortunately the Tomato soup was disappointing. I guess it's a matter of taste but it seemed to sweet for me and did not taste natural. It has 13 grams of sugar which equals about 3 teaspoons of sugar, a lot for a small 6 ounce cup of soup. The salt content is quite high also but since I have no problem with salt it's not a major problem for me. I probably will use the remainder of my soup for cooking since I don't care for it as a soup.
I have never added sugar to tomato juice or a fresh tomato to make it taste better so I don't understand why they do it here. I can understand salt or even lemon juice I do it all the time, but not sugar.
I am sure some people would disagree with me and might even like it sweet but this is my opinion. It's unfortunate that you have to buy a case instead of 1 or 2 to just try.

Just like grandma used to make!May 09, 2010

Wow, nothing like a bowl of Lipton Tomato Cup-a-Soup to take me back to my childhood.
I remember that when my mother had one of her, well, let's just call them "episodes", she'd drop me off at grandma's house and disappear for hours, maybe even days, but grandma would always force a smile and let me sit down with one of those connect-the-dots books while she'd make me a big, satisfying bowl of tomato soup.
First she'd get some tomato powder out of a big metal tin. Back then, if you wanted tomato powder you had to make your own, and grandma used to grow her own tomatoes in her yard and dry them in the hot sun on her porch, and then she'd grind them into powder using mortar and pestle.
Grandma would pour several big scoops of tomato powder in a big stock pot, and for every scoop of tomato powder she'd add a scoop of sugar, then she's stir it together and in a half an hour or so I'd have enough tomato soup to quietly sit and eat for hours while she watched her soap operas on her "portable" 19 inch black-and-white Motorola television. Ahhhh memories.
Now I can have tomato powder and sugar any time I want, and in half a minute -- not half an hour -- with this amazingly hearty and satisfying instant tomato soup! Just open a pouch into a microwavable cup and in a few short seconds, lunch is served. A lunch full of rich tomatoey goodness that will remind you of a simpler time, and perhaps bring back some childhood memories of your own.
Seriously, I made up that stuff about grandma, but I didn't make up the half sugar part. Check it out for yourself. This stuff is half sugar! Why? I though I was enjoying something delicious (well, as delicious as microwaved powder in water tend to get) and saving money on lunch too, and then I looked and found it was half sugar. Are the tomatoes they make the powder out of so sour that they need all this sugar? I don't get it, but I was very disappointed.
However, if you really love tomato soup, this is a very fast and cost effective way to get it, and it tastes amazing good all things considered.

Tomato Cup-A-Soup reviewFeb 06, 2010
By Donna M. Stedham
This soup is excellent for a quick pick-me-up and also is very good as a seasoning pack for dishes such as meat loaf or vegetable soup. Very good and very easy -- two things that appeal to me.
