Great soup with delicious flavor (maybe a shake of salt and pepper depending on your taste)! One container is a perfect quick meal for two.

My family loves a variety of soups, but their favorite is beef & cabbage soup made with leftover pot roast and other fresh vegetables and it's always a problem not having enough beef broth. I have used others but this is absolutely the best. It is low in salt and high in flavor. There is always some in my refrigerator. I use it whenever I need beef flavor.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Pacific-Natural-Foods-Beef-32-Ounce-Pack-of-12/dp/B001HTI22G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Pacific Natural Foods Beef. 32-Ounce (Pack of 12)</a>

This is my favorite soup EVAH! I really need to learn how to dupe this soup (yes, I'm a poet and I know it). This soup is soooo yummy. This is not spicy AT ALL, so, if you like extra heat, do what I do and give this soup a few shots of your favorite hot sauce. This soup is seriously addictive with no skimping on the chunks of chicken and sausage. NOM NOM NOM to the highest power of NOM!

This soup is really quite good. Stock a couple at work for a nice healthy snack. Add a little butter and it's great!

I agree with other reviewers that it's very salty, so beware if you have issues with blood pressure, etc. It IS delicious, though...just enjoy in moderation! The rice doesn't seem to soften much, so be prepared to "chew" your soup as well.

First of all, I must state that this is the tastiest pre-packaged soup known to mankind. The spice mixture is a delight to my taste buds. The noodles are better quality than most pre-packaged Ramyuns. The ease of cooking this is just what you would expect. It's simple and that is why I'm often inclined to make this a meal when I know that I shouldn't. I opt to live a little in these situations.

Preparation is key. The soup by itself is probably a health hazard if you eat it each and every day. As others have mentioned, it has little to no nutrients of particular value for any diet, and high sodium content. However, when one adds a variety of meats and veggies, it could possibly be gourmet caliber soup.

I particularly enjoy cubed pork tenderloin or shrimp, mixing that with the soup. Poaching an egg or two in this soup will make it better as well. As for veggies, green onion is a definite must have, along with shitake/portobello mushrooms (I like both), and I like to add broccoli. Many times, I'll add bean sprouts and cilantro, but those are truly optional in my opinion. However, a personal favorite of mine to add to this soup is fishcake. If you don't know what that is, don't let the name fool you. Go to your local Korean market and pick some up. It's sensational in this soup.

As for the unhealthy aspect, simply use less of the packaged spice and you'll probably feel better about yourself. I use the whole thing myself, but I really don't eat these as much as I used to. Lastly, the soup without all the additional meats and veggies is still tasty, so it's not a necessity to add the extras - only recommended. I still must suggest that one poached egg be the bare minimum. Enjoy!

This was the first time I tried this soup and I love it. It's think and hearty with a nice creamy texture. I thought the flavor was wonderful, it had a slight peppery finish that kicked it up a notch. Plus - organic!! Highly recommend for the fall and winter months!

I love these soups.  I am on a salt restricted diet and most soups have way too much sodium for me.  Yes, others may add salt but I don't and love the taste!

Excellent soup with a spice I can't quite pick out, noodles are great, a must if you like spicy noodles, miles better than regular ramen.

I thought that this was incredibly delicious soup. I was highly concerned, seeing all the negative reviews, that this was a bad purchase and that the product would be downright inedible. My worries were for naught; this soup is amazing! It has a bold, savory flavor that is extremely satisfying, and would make a great lunch or dinner item at an extremely affordable price. It is true, some of the particles don't dissolve, but I don't find them to be unpleasant; all other instant miso soups that I've bought have had the same issue with the particles, and it has never been a bad thing for me. I just kick them up a little when I'm eating the soup; that way, the particles don't become sludge. Perhaps one thing that could make the soup better would be the inclusion of rice or noodles with meat (or tofu, if you're vegan like me), but I find it to be absolutely delightful on its own. Skeptical about buying it? My opinion is, don't be. This is a fantastic product at a great price, and would be a great thing to have around the kitchen for use as a broth or savory flavoring agent if you don't appreciate it on its own. I will buy this product as long as they offer it on Amazon for sure!

If I had to choose one word to describe this Indian stew by Jyoti, it would be delightful! Admittedly, I'm a relative novice to this kind of Asian cooking, but I know what I like, and I really like this stuff! The delicious buttermilk sauce was thick and creamy, whilst the potato dumplings were just plain scrumptious. Be forewarned, however, that this dish is heavily spiced and salted! From what I gather, this is typical for Indian cuisine. The unique blend of spices is, all at once, wonderfully exotic and nearly overpowering. The curry flavor comes right-on through, whilst the other spices were a bit more subtle, yet completely unfamiliar. Adding some fresh vegetables, e.g., sugar snap peas, Vidalia onions, bell peppers, sugar beets, etc., would help to lessen the saltiness and tone-down the spiciness, as well. This stuff would be great over biscuits, rice, noodles [you name it], or as a base for a myriad of casseroles. If you're at all adventurous, then, for your own sake, jump off the deep end and order-up!

Little Sheep was one of my first hot pot experiences and has remained the best for years. Every time I would go, we would take the remaining soup base (topped off of course!) home and use it to make awesome soup the next day. Always looking for a way to take the restaurant experience home, I ran across these soup bases on Amazon and ordered them. Each pack has several packets with seasoning, oil, and herbs and berries. The resulting soup was almost exactly like the standard Little Sheep soup base! I'd love to see the price drop a bit, but at ~4.50 per pack which makes enough for +4 hearty meals, its a good deal and a great item to have in the pantry!

If you are like me and love the flavor that they berries add, but don't like the bitterness of eating them, I ended up buying&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Prepworks-by-Progressive-Stainless-Steel-Mesh-Tea-Ball/dp/B00004RIZ7/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Prepworks by Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball</a>&nbsp;to hold the berries and other herbs I'd rather avoid winding up in my spoon. So far it has worked great and is pretty easy to use. Cleaning can be a pain and requires a good brush to get everything out.

I ordered the Hearty Bean and Ham Soup.  It's delicious.  My mom and I live together, and we often have this for dinner with corn muffins, or just buttered saltines.  Sometimes we eat the soup over a scoop of rice. Yum!

Aside from the fact that a few cans were dented, this broth is excellent base for beef soup with noodles. A tbsp of low sodium soy sauce added helps to bring out the flavor. We just make it with fresh minced garlic and ginger, chopped scallions, tofu cubes, and soy sauce. If you need a little bit more to it you can add baby spinach by the handful a few minutes before serving to let it wilt. Maybe even a dab of sesame oil. Then you have soup to go along with white rice or big udon style noodles that have been precooked. Dinner on the table fast and easy with vegetables, protein and a starch. Easy nutritious meal. This is a great helper for soup bases!

I have used this soup for a long time, but I live in a smaller town and often it's hard to find in the grocery store, so I ordered a case of it to ease my mind!  I use it 'as a soup' when I'm in a hurry, but I also use it as 'flavor' in much of my cooking!  It makes a great addition or flavor enhancement for many daily dishes, even if you only add more of the same meat for a heartier soup!  If you like 'these flavors', you can add a variety of other seafood, meats, or vegetables to suit your own desire, create your own unique recipe, or create something new, ........ but the greatest thing for me was ordering in bulk to prevent frequent trips to the store.  I also think it will keep well for those who do a lot of 'food storage' for survival, or personal purposes.  Ordering it and having it delivered to your door is the best way to keep an old favorite handy!!

Great taste. I ordered this to use in a specific recipe, Chicken Thai Soup With Lime. The recipe came from a magazine an used a rotisserie so I was anxious to try this easy recipe. I can vouch that the soup was delicious, and I am sure it was mainly due to this Thai spice. I had never heard of "Thai spice" but that is what the recipe called for. I was pleased and will continue to use this in other Thai recipes.

Love the Pad Thai flavor.  Don't love the weapons-grade MSG or ridiculous amounts of salt.  Sometimes I toss the noodles and just use the flavor packets to give some spice to steamed vegetables.  A must-have soup in winter if you are feeling like a cold is coming on.
