Original

A 900 mL carton of ready-to-pour chicken broth seasoned with all-natural flavours for soups, rice and pan sauces.

Campbell Company of Canada markets this broth from Mississauga, but Campbell closed Toronto soup canning in 2019 and now fills these cartons at U.S. thermal plants. The brand says most soup vegetables still come from Ontario farms, though the stock base is not traced to a Canadian source on the label.

Each 250 mL cup has 10 calories and 920 mg of sodium. The ingredient list is short: chicken stock, salt, yeast extract, natural flavour and a touch of oil. CookWithCampbells.ca lists weeknight recipes built around it.

Sold in the broth aisle at major Canadian grocers alongside Campbell's beef and flavoured chicken lines.
