What You Should Know

Campbell's Condensed Soup, 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken is a classic pantry staple you’ll find in the canned soup aisle alongside broths, gravies and other condensed soups. Packaged in a 10.5 oz recyclable metal can with the familiar Campbell’s branding and the “98% Fat Free” callout, it sits near other convenience bases shoppers reach for when building quick weeknight meals or stocking up for storms. The brand leans on Americana and nostalgia — Campbell’s evokes family dinners, casseroles and simple comfort food — while marketing cues like “no added sugar*,” “farm-fresh cream” and “no antibiotics” aim to reassure health-conscious parents and busy cooks. The label also lists allergens (wheat, milk, soy), and small-print ingredient details reveal modified starches, protein isolates and flavor enhancers. Sensory-first, the condensed product is thick, opaque and velvety in the can; when mixed 1:1 with water or nonfat milk it becomes a smooth, creamy sauce with tender flecks of chicken, mild savory chicken stock notes and an umami lift from yeast extract/MSG. Typical uses are as a quick solo soup topped with herbs or as a creamy binder for casseroles, pot pies, green bean dishes and stovetop sauces — a ritual often involving stirring, microwaving or thinning on the stove. Processing context: this is a shelf-stable, highly processed condensed soup that relies on modified starches, emulsifiers, isolated soy proteins and flavor concentrates to deliver consistent texture and long shelf life. It is positioned for convenience, nostalgia and versatility rather than being a minimally processed or organic option.
