Better Than a Soup Cup.Jul 05, 2006
By mirasreviews
Annie Chun's Udon Soup makes a quick meal that is larger than traditional soup cups and without the reconstituted texture. The soup bowl holds about 3 cups of soup, which is a nice size for lunch. It's all-natural and vegetarian, consisting of noodles in a flavorful soy soup, with dried mushrooms, onions, bok choy, herbs and spices. The ingredients come in 3 packages: a bag of noodles (not dried), a liquid soup base, and a packet of dried soup toppings. Just add boiling water.
Actually, the instructions on the package are unnecessarily complicated. They tell you to add water to loosen the noodles, drain it off, add the other ingredients, and then add more water. This isn't necessary. Maybe you need to loosen the noodles if you are going to microwave the soup. I suggest stirring the noodles after one minute in the microwave. But if you have a kettle handy, empty the 3 packages into your soup bowl, add boiling water up to about a half inch from the top of the bowl, and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This is faster, easier and uses less water than the instructions recommend, and the soup comes out perfectly.
Annie Chun suggests adding spinach, snow peas, broccoli, mushrooms, shrimp or tofu to make your soup into a more complete meal. Some of those things would need to be cooked before you add them, but I find that fresh mushrooms and frozen peas make excellent additions that require no pre-cooking. If you put some sliced or diced mushrooms into the soup when you add the boiling water, they will partially cook while they sit for 5 minutes, acquiring a nice dense texture that is neither raw nor limp.
Ingredients: Noodles: wheat flour, water, tapioca starch, lactic acid, salt. Soup Base: soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt), shiitake mushrooms, sea vegetable, evaporated cane juice, rice wine, yeast extract. Toppings: green onion, maltodextrin, bok choy, tofu, red pepper, shiitake mushrooms, guar gum. Product is manufactured in a facility that uses peanuts. . The soup bowls are made of a corn product [...] that is biodegradable. Not that anything degrades in a landfill, but at least the bowl isn't toxic.

Getting this AGAINJan 11, 2007
By Buzzing Bee
"amazon shopper"
Yep, like the title, I'm getting this again. The first shippment lasted 1 week. Here's my review... This is a great quick meal for lunch in the office. Instead of spending 5 or 6 bucks to get add extra lipids to my arteries, I decided to try these noodles.
The noodles were already cooked sealed in a vaccum bag. The dehydrated vegtables actually look like vegtables after you add water to it. Overall, I felt it was a pretty "authentic" Udon experience. I really enjoyed these noodles. Also, at 110 cal per serving ( there is 2 servings in the bowl ) its a not too bad for you. If you want something quick, great tasting, and not good for you, this is your item.
The sodium is a bit high, but you can always control that with how much of the soy sauce you put in. Overall, I give it 4 stars... cause there's always room for improvement!

Considering it sits on the shelf...Jun 28, 2006
By Amy
... it's not too bad. They keep a long time so when I forget my lunch or simply have to work much later than I expected, I have something to eat at work without resorting to a vending machine. More filling than popcorn and one of the better shelf-sitting noodle bowls available. Adds variety to my workplace pantry.

 My New Favorite Soup!Sep 11, 2007
By VisualSmith
This soup offers a great mild asian flavor without all of the weird "american asian" flavor. After my latest trip to China, I wanted to find an authentic soup and noodles in the States. Udon Soup is Japanese but according to the packaging, it originated in China and was brought to Japan by a monk. So that explains the Chinese flavor. The noodles are packaged moist and fresh. The bowl is biodegradable. It makes for a great lunch at home or work! I highly recommend!

Great for my emergency stash...Feb 10, 2010
By Bridget
"XXXXXXXXXXXXX"
i started buying these bowls last year, to stick to my resolution of avoiding drive-thru when i'm at work. i keep a case under my desk. i really like these for when i want a hot lunch. it's a little more prep than say, campbell's, but definitely worth it. and while i had the same complaint about the lack of flavor as other reviewers, i simply adjusted the amount of water i used to compensate. my other complaint would have to be the texture of the tofu and vegetables used, but that can't be avoided when freeze drying. i don't even use the little packet; i just add in fresh ingredients . it's a great way to get my daily serving a veggies, especially knowing how horrid a cook i really am. the gals in my office have gotten hooked as well, and we now have 'vegetarian fridays' twice a month in a bid to get healthy. these are always brought in by at least one person.
