nutritious junk

Cup noodles is a staple for most college students, busy office cubicle junkies, and starving artists/struggling actors. Alas, these cups contain miniscule nutrition and instead give you plenty of msg and sodium. bummer, eh? Well, the Spice Hunter has a whole slew of ready made soups that boast better nutrtionals. So i was willing to give their Chicken Noodle a try. Nutritionally they are rather sound: each container has 140 calories, 2.5 g fat, 8 g protien, 2 g fiber, and 600 mg of sodium (way better than cup noodles' 1434 mg!). I have mixed feeling about this product though. I liked the smell and the quick and easy prep. The noodles were nice and hearty and tasted like good pasta. But i had some issues with the "chicken" pieces that resemebled beige raisins. Plus, the broth itself was too salty and the flavor a little to bold and seasoned for a chicken noodle soup. I am not sure how to explain it, but its as if they added way to much bouillon for the amount of water they suggested adding (and mind you, i added the EXACT amount suggested by the directions). As a college student and struggling actor, these types of soups serve me well so i want to try the Spice Hunter's other varieties, but i dont think i'll get the chicken noodle again. I'll go to Souplantation for my chicken noodle fix (nothing like free seconds!).
