Hi it’s Natalie from the Costco food and product review fan blog Costcuisine!

In the last week I reviewed the Costco Brazi Bites, Costco Organika Collagen Protein Powder, Costco Formosa Dessert Mochi and Costco Jules Destrooper Butter Biscuits.
We had our first snowfall of the season here so I decided it was fitting to review some soup that I got from Costco that is classically Canadian! Today I’m reviewing the Costco Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle Soup.
Cost
The regular cost of the Tim Hortons Chicken Noodle Soup is $11.99 for six 540ml cans but I was able to get it for three dollars off which is a pretty good deal! Cans of soup can definitely vary in price depending on whether it’s organic etc!
Convenience
It doesn’t get more convenient than this! All you have to do is pull the top off and microwave or heat on the stovetop. Perfect for easy work lunches or lunch at home, we even use it for a quick dinner with grilled cheese sandwiches. The best before date is about two years from the date we purchased it.
Nutrition
One cup is 90 calories, two grams of fat, 11 grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fibre, two grams of sugar, six grams of protein and 620 mg of sodium. Low in calories and fat but also a little low in protein and high in sodium. The ingredients list is pretty straight forward.
Taste
If you’ve ever had Tim Hortons soup Chicken Noodle Soup before this has the same flavor as the soup you get in the restaurant however I found it had less vegetables and chicken in it and also was more watery than what I’ve had from the restaurant. The broth flavor is good, a little on the salty side and I love the mini shell noodles they use because they’re not overly soft or soggy. There’s a few bits of carrots, red peppers and peas in the soup but definitely not an abundance and I was left craving more! The main thing I noticed was I found there was definitely not enough chicken in the soup! I really only found a few scant pieces here and there. Next time I’m craving chicken noodle soup I think I’ll go for something a little heartier.
I probably won’t be buying this again because I think there’s better canned chicken noodle soup available but I’ll definitely finish up my case during the winter months! I think I’m looking for something a little heartier with more vegetables and chicken! Maybe I’ll have to make my own.

I’m curious to know what your favorite canned chicken noodle soup is! Please share.
IS THIS MADE OF REAL CHICKEN BROTH ? . Because if yes..it’s good for sick people. If not sick people has to stay away from this.
I usually make my own chicken soup. But because Im sick ..I tried this one. But I’m wondering if the broth is actually made from real chicken broth??. Can’t find the info in the internet.
Most canned soups are very salty, this is no exception. I feel this is just a lame effort of Tim’s to capitalize on their name/brand. We won’t buy them again as you said, it has very little protein and vegetables.
I’m going to take back the 5 cans that I have left and see if I can get a refund, if not I will be donating it to seniors in my town.
The only good thing about it is the convenience, but otherwise, I can make better. Way too much broth and not enough chicken, vegetables, and noodles. Definitely won’t be buying again.
We didn’t like this soup at all. Ended up giving it to the food bank.
I previously had tried the canned Tim Horton’s chicken soup. Very little in the way of chicken, noodles, or veggies. What a disappointment! Will never buy it again and was glad I had only bought one tin.
Most definitely doesn’t look at all like the picture on the can. I wonder if the food photographer used the technique of adding clear glass marbles to a bowl of soup. They sink to the bottom and make it appear to have more meat, veggies, noodles, or whatever.
I prefer to make my own.
