Actually I also had the same problem with you. My parents bought some instant "vegetarian" noodles(vegetarian here refers to no meat but we can take eggs and dairy products. For veggies,no onions,no garlic,no leeks,no shallots. Anything to the onion family is a no). The vegetarian noodles when opened and cooked,it contained spring onions! Now this relates to the question you asked. You did refer to the ingredients list and that's good,for also we did refer to the list for spring onions but there was none.

Ok now back to question. Actually well you can open the soup and smell if there was chicken stock used. I suppose you're a vegetarian or perhaps you are cooking the soup for someone who is a vegetarian or for some other reason, but I think that the soup should have not used chicken stock. You can ask your neighbors or friends to actually cook some chicken stock and compare the taste/smell to see if there was chicken stock included. But if there was chicken stock in the soup,i suggest you make a report to CampBell and tell them as this is a vegetable soup,they should not have included the chicken stock together... Take for example,KFC, My family SUSPECTS(the word i use here is suspect, because i do not want to counterattack KFC or anything but suspect it from the smell) that the mashed potatoes consists of chicken oil,as part of their recipe. And the oil is from the deep frying of the chicken. They skimmed the top layer as it contains the batter from the chicken itself,and thus because of this reason,it enhances the taste of the mashed potato(this oil is the sauce on top of the potato).

And also for the noodles,now they have added a sticker to show that there is spring onions added.

So answer: Do confirm with a friend,family member or neighbor if there is chicken stock. If a vegetarian is going to eat it,please do report it to CampBell if chicken stock is included. But if there isn't any, Then feel free to eat the soup(which I hope it turns out so)

Anyway,not all food labels(or ingredients list) can be trusted. Like the trans-fat matter a few years back...

Good answer and if you have any doubt, do not eat. Report It

  • I would imagine there is no chicken stock in it if it is not listed on the ingredients. Here is a link to a vegetarian version of Campbell's veg. soup

    http://www.foodlocker.com/001-01-1066.ht...

    You can always research it online, but i personally dont know.

    the ingredients, inorder order by amount, have to be listed on all food products. campbell's has two versions - one is specially called vegetarian vegetable. check their site. mmmm mmmm good....
