I mentioned in my Holi post that we had an illness in the GoriRajkumari household but failed to mention the following…
- It was me…sick…again.
- Gastroenteritis SUCKS the big one.
- There isn’t a Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup to be had anywhere near us. Not one.
You know, when you’re sick, all you want to do is eat the foods you find comforting. For me it’s Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup, Saltine crackers, Jello (red…uhm…flavor?) and Sprite.
Sprite can be found here and I use Marie biscuits to substitute for the Saltine but the soup is hard to come by.
However! Bear has found an excellent substitute which, in my honest opinion, is 100% better than any Campbell’s CNS I ever remember eating!
What is it?
Maggie.
Yep! Maggie Soups are awesome! Way better than even Knorr which you can find here in India!
My favorite is Maggie Creamy Chicken. It’s delicious and warm and very comforting. Also good on a not so happy stomach.
So give Maggie a try! It’s not just masala noodles anymore!

I’m pleased to hear that you are feeling better now, being sick really is the pits!!!
There is nothing better then chicken noodle soup when you are feeling sick, you just need someone to make it for you and bring it to you in bed!
Take Care.
I love maggi soups! But I just found out recently that Keya started making some that are even yummier and take even less preparation as you just pour the pack into a tea mug and add boiling water. In Switzerland it was called Quick Soup and I think it was from Maggi, Knorr has also much better soups back home, I find the one here BORING
I grew up with Maggi!
Vertically at the beginning, now sideways…. 😦
I’ve had the creamy mushroom. It makes a fabulous sauce. I have to steer clear of any dairy (which unfortunately includes cream soups) when I get sick here. It quickly sours on my stomach and things get ugly.
I miss saltines too. I fully intend to go through a couple of packages while I’m at home for the summer. I’ll have a pack in your honor. 😉
Don’t forget the Mac-n-Cheese and Tuna Helper! LOL 😉
Am always a big fan of maggie, but never really tried this one. I should check it out.
Oh you should! It is TOO good! And I am really very picky about my soups! 😉
We will certainly look for it, how is your health now? Did I tell you..I moved stateside in Jan.
No! I didn’t know! Congratulations! Send me an email and fill me in on the scoop!
My wife loved that when she fell sick in India. We brought back around 24 packs of those – she now has them when she is sick here!
I don’t blame her! I plan on doing the same myself! 🙂 It’s even better than Campbell’s! 🙂
I definitely miss chicken noodle soup too 😦 But the Maggie Creamy Chicken looks good. I have to see if I can get that in Nepal.
