Unexpectedly Delicious
I purchased Wild Zora as a person who loves soup, is constantly on the go, but also fortunately happens to usually be close to some kind of container that can heat water. As good chicken soup is one of my favourite comfort foods, I purchased the 12-pack of Lemon Chicken and poked a couple of packets away into my bag for use at the office when the workday doesn't permit me the time to devote to a long lunch. I was expecting a mild, broth-like soup that would sustain me until I could eat again...and I got way more than that.This soup is not only completely simple to rehydrate (just pour 8 oz of hot water over the mix into a soup mug or bowl, stir, and wait a few minutes), it's also wickedly flavourful. The lemon is bright and tangy, and the ginger gives a great balance to the savory rosemary chicken. Not only is this product now my go-to when I know I'll be busy, it's also my stand-in for an easy appetizer when fixing food for my folks or friends. I've found it also makes a wonderful add-in when at the final stages of cooking wild rice for stuffing. Great flavour, super easy, and highly-adaptable to all sorts of delicious applications.

Very Disappointed!
I was sooo looking forward to this, the ingredients sounded soo amazing and I love soups. This was not at all flavorful, and it's extremely difficult to get to dissolve. The spices and veggies bits never did soften and the water added was boiling. It tells you to keep stirring as you sip it, but no matter how much I stirred there was a lot on the bottom after. I won't be getting them again. I think I may try making soup and adding it to mine.....hopefully they won't go to waste.

Not that great
It’s really overpriced for what it is. I love the idea, but it’s only okay in flavor. Great ingredients, it’s a nice to have around at my desk in the office and in my pack for a day hike for a clean snack, but not at all something worth auto order and getting all the time. Love the concept. I do, it’s just not worth the money in my opinion. At this price after a year I’d just buy my own freeze drier and season correctly. The herbs tend to stick to bottom and sides of a mug even when following directions on preparing. I lost more to my yeti than consumed. I am not a huge bone broth person, but may try this line of broths if they make them since it is clean and has a smidge better flavor than similar brands. Based on ingredients I thought I’d love. Something was off for me. Just not my cup of tea:soup I guess.Pros: top notch ingredientsCleanEasy to makeLight weightLow calorieNegs:Flavor -would like more lemon to come outHerbs stick to mugPriceNot enough chickenShort shelf life for dehydrated food

Has a lot of floaties in it.
The taste is ok for a packet soup that you just add hot water to, but you end up with quite a bit of little chunks that don't dissolve, little tiny pieces of freeze-dried chicken and what looks like lawn clippings. They will do for getting something in your stomach real quick at work, which is why I bought them, but it's not my favorite brand of instant soups like this.

Perfect for Backpacking
I bought this to take on a back-country backpacking trip. I was looking for food that was light enough to carry, as well as nutritious and tasty. I feel like I struck gold with this soup. Its made with the best ingredients and there isn't anything in it that isn't actually food. I can carry a week's worth without weighing down my pack. And it is super-delicious! Just add water. Easy to cold-soak, if you're a no-stove backpacker. The instructions did say that you have to continuously stir as you eat. I discovered this is because the ingredients will settle to the bottom of the cup. That didn't bother me at all, but you should be aware.

Would not recommend
Pros:* Cheap* Easy to make* Healthy (I'd have to look into this morning to confirm how much more healthy)Cons:* Basically a tea (maybe a pro when sick?)* Veggies/Chicken almost non-existent* Bland flavor* Bits of freezer dried ingredients stayed freezer dried---Obviously this is a company trying to make a simple product with a focus on health. You may enjoy these packets of soup but I could not. They would best be described as flavored tea (honestly). The ingredients weren't really there and the ones that were ended up being dry. I guess I expected actual chicken from the cover but if it was there... it was miniscule.I went back and forth between a 2 and 3. These packets almost feel like a starter for an actual soup you will make with it.

Way to many seasonings.
There was so much poultry seasoning floating at the top, you had to scoop it off. It was like chewing a scoop of it right dry out of the bottle The consistency and texture was awful. I even let it set for about 5 minutes, kept stiring without it changing. The chicken, veggies at the bottom of the cup were hard (never softened) and also texture on my tongue was unpleasant. The broth was so so. I though it had way too much lemon . With a little less lemon lemon flavor would have been tolerable. You bare taste chicken flavor. I passed it on to other employees I work with, a few who practice clean, natural, organic living. The box finally went in the garbage. Sorry about the bad review.

Addicted!
I’m officially ADDICTED to this soup.Healthy, quick & easy to make, easy to bring on a trip or to work & tastes great.I’ll occasionally make/add white rice to add extra substance, along with a little chicken broth & extra lemon juice bc I love lemon-flavored everything. Seriously this soup is bomb.
