We Tried The New BWW x Campbell’s Parmesan Garlic Chicken Noodle Soup

Buffalo Wild Wings is really maximizing their collaborations lately. After how impressed I was with their Pringles crossover, I’m pretty excited to check out this parmesan garlic inspired Campbell’s chicken noodle soup. There’s a lot to say about it, so let’s dive right in.

Our Verdict

Pros: This is a very niche product. Campbell’s took their thick creamy chicken noodle soup and added in a garlicky base and sprinkled in some parmesan cheese to try to mimic Buffalo Wild Wing’s parmesan garlic wings… ’cause I guess that’s what we’re doing now.

The resulting soup is genuinely enjoyable. While it does hit you a bit too heavy on the garlic right off the bat, the cream of it all quickly mellows things out. Once the bite starts to settle, you notice the other flavors inside―green onion, red bell pepper, and carrots.

The egg noodles that are hiding in the creamy mixture have some weight to them. They still fit into your spoon―which does sound odd to point out―but for a second, I was so intimidated by their size I almost reached for a fork to go at them. Which is crazy. Eating soup. With a fork.

I think the very niche, but effective, use for this wing-inspired chicken noodle soup would be at a football watch party. You can impress your friends with this find and they can revel in the fact that they were able to enjoy wings in a form that didn’t leave their hands in a sticky, gooey mess.

Cons: Now this is an interesting one. I appreciate this soup for what it is. What I’m currently struggling with is why we were given parmesan garlic chicken noodle soup. It’s not better than Campbell’s creamy chicken noodle soup. It has its own unique taste from the added garlic and parmesan but it’s not actually adding anything of value. 10/10 times I’d rather go for a can of Campbell’s regular creamy chicken noodle.

I can’t even fully recommend this to fans of BWW’s parmesan garlic wings. This is embarrassing to admit but as much of a fan as I am of both parmesan cheese and garlic, I borderline actively hate Bdub’s parmesan garlic wings, which I have to admit because that dislike didn’t transfer over to the soup. It’s an enjoyable soup!

Genuinely I believe this was only made because Campbell’s is bored. They’ve been at the top of the canned soup game for so long. They had to give their chefs something new to cook up to keep them around. Hey, if that’s what it takes to keep things going at Campbell’s headquarters then I look forward to the BWW honey BBQ canned soup collab next.
