What You Should Know

Campbell's® Healthy Request Condensed Cream of Chicken is a familiar pantry staple youd often spot in the canned soup aisle alongside other condensed soups, broths and stocks, and quick-meal bases. Packaged in a recyclable 10.5 oz metal can with the iconic red-and-white Campbells label, it signals convenience and legacy brand trust. Shoppers grab it for quick weeknight dinners, casserole and baking recipes, or as an easy sauce starter when thickening with milk or water. The product is positioned as a family-friendly, heart-conscious alternative to regular condensed soup, leaning on heritage branding and health-focused claims like "Heart Healthy," "50% less fat and 50% less sodium," and a note about chicken raised without antibiotics to appeal to more health-aware and budget-conscious consumers. The label carries no organic certification and does include clear allergen statements (wheat, milk, soy). In plain terms this is a highly processed canned soup that mixes chicken stock, creams, starches, protein isolates and flavor enhancers into a shelf-stable base. Sensory notes: when prepared it yields a smooth, velvety, slightly thickened cream of chicken texture with mild savory chicken and celery/onion aromatics, a pale cream color with hints of yellow from beta-carotene, and a comforting, homestyle mouthfeel. The ritual is pragmatic: stir one can with a can of water or nonfat milk and heat on the stove or microwave for a fast single-dish soup or ingredient component for casseroles, pot pies, or quick sauces. It occupies a practical, comfort-food niche in American grocery culture.
