About
This is the soup you make when you need something nourishing; when it's cold and wet outside, and you don't really want to wait for delivery. And guess what? It's exactly what you need! My-One-And-Only Soup is succulent and luscious, with the savory chicken flavor infusing the hearty tofu and beefy mushrooms. Little creamy bites of egg make My-One-And-Only Soup all the better. This is the best microwave soup you can imagine, and you'll know it for sure when you taste it!
