MINNEAPOLIS — Progresso has announced the launch of a limited-edition chicken soup-flavored cough drop.

According to a press release from General Mills, Progresso’s parent company, the new cough drops will taste like Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup. They will be available for a limited time in January to celebrate National Soup Month and coincide with cold and flu season.

“For decades, Progresso Soup has brought you cozy comfort on chilly days or when you’re under the weather,” said MC Comings, VP, Business Unit Director for Progresso at General Mills. “When you’re sick, nothing is truly more reassuring than Chicken Noodle Soup. So, we thought, why stop at the soup bowl? We took the beloved flavors of our Progresso Chicken Noodle Soup and packed them into a fun, savory candy Soup Drop for a totally new way to enjoy the taste you love whenever and wherever you want.”
