Dried chicken noodle soup is a packet soup mix intended to be prepared with water. It mainly provides carbohydrate and protein, with some fat. Per 100g of dried mix, it contains 56g of carbohydrate, 17g of protein, 4.8g of fat and 9.3g of salt. These figures describe the dry product, not the soup after preparation.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Adding water lowers the salt concentration but does not remove salt from the mix. The amount consumed depends on how much dried mix is used. Full nutritional figures are in the tables below.
