Progresso Chicken Broth, Original

Progresso Chicken Broth, Original, 32 oz sits on supermarket shelves in the soup and broth aisle, often grouped with other canned and carton broths, bouillons, and stock concentrates. You’ll find it near ready-to-heat soups, rice mixes, and evaporated milk — an easy grab for cooks who want a reliable liquid base. It suits quick weeknight meals, pantry top-ups for storm prep, and anyone building a classic chicken soup after a cold. The brand leans on long-standing American comfort-food cues: familiar, dependable, and positioned toward value-conscious shoppers who still want a recognizable national label rather than a boutique or organic alternative. Marketing emphasizes tradition and convenience rather than artisanal provenance. The label often highlights simple-sounding claims like Original and Natural Flavor; there’s no organic seal or child-focused branding, and the front-of-package messaging skews practical and straightforward. In plain terms this is a commercially prepared broth — heated, strained, and packaged for shelf-stability — not a homemade stock, but also not a complex sauce or snack item. Sensory-wise it pours as a clear, light amber liquid with a warm chicken aroma and a thin, watery mouthfeel that carries a salty, savory finish; carrot puree adds a touch of sweetness and body. Packaged in a 32-ounce shelf-stable carton, it’s typically resealable and stored in the pantry until opened. Rituals around it include simmering it into soups, thinning sauces, cooking grains, or sipping warm when under the weather. Its familiarity and low-effort role make it a pantry staple in many American households.
