With it being such an icy cold January, I hope you’ve been enjoying National Soup Month as much as I have by warming up your insides with the perfect feel good food — soup!
This is an especially exciting year for Campbell’s® Condensed Chicken Noodle soup which celebrates its 80th birthday!
Once upon a time, it wasn’t even called Campbell’s® Condensed Chicken Noodle soup. It started out being called “Chicken with Noodles” and it wasn’t really all that popular.
When a famous radio program host accidentally called it “Chicken Noodle” soup on a popular radio show, sales took off! The soup was officially renamed “Chicken Noodle” and it remains the top-selling soup for Campbell to this day.
With 32 feet of noodles inside each can of Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, I see why it’s still happily slurped up by children and adults everywhere!
More fun soup tidbits:
• Frank Sinatra always asked for chicken and rice soup to be available to him in his dressing rooms before he went on stage.
• Soup can be dated back to about 6000 B.C. and was first made of hippopotamus.
• It has been noted that pop-art artist, Andy Warhol, found the inspiration to paint his “Campbell’s Soup Cans” series because that’s what he had for lunch every day for 20 years.
For lots of yummy soup recipes to celebrate National Soup Month, head to the Wisest Kid website for “Sip, Slurp and Spoon” soup favorites like this Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe.
There’s just nothing better than a bowl of hot soup in January, and every sloppy, slurpable spoonful of this is more delicious than the next!
Made with another of my favorite Campbell’s Condensed Soups, Cream of Chicken, it’s full of zesty flavor and makes one heck of a satisfying meal for the whole family.

I hope you enjoy it. It’s oh so yummy nummy!
What homemade soups do you make using Campbell’s Condensed Soup?
Hippo soup?!? Thank goodness we’ve come a long way from that!
I love a good bowl of chicken soup, especially in the winter time!
Looks delicious. I wish I had a slow cooker so I can try it.
I bet my husband would love this recipe! I will make sure to print it and share it with him so we can make it over a chilly weekend.
As I am gluten intolerant I don’t use Campbells just in case. We make our own bone broth with pastured beef or chicken bones.
I’ve been looking for a good chicken tortilla soup recipe and this one looks so yummy, and easy too!
Yay! I love finding new crockpot recipes, especially when they look delicious and have ingredients the whole family will eat!
It looks so good. I love Chicken Noodle Soup.
I love tortilla soup and being able to make it in a slow cooker is an added bonus. Looks delicious!
I guess I never thought to make other soup with their soup. That is a great idea! And I love tortilla soup!
I love slow cooker recipes! I will have to try this one out. I have been really craving tortilla soups! They are always good!
That looks so good. I think I’ll add lima beans instead of corn – I’m fussy that way. lol
That looks so delicious and easy to make too! I want to try it out!
Shhh….we don’t buy Campbell’s anymore since changing our eating habits. It looks good though! Love your photo!
I’ve never had chicken tortilla soup but this looks so good I might have to make an exception. I’m going to tell my hubs about this for our next week’s menu.
Chicken soup, not popular? Now that was a surprise….I’m glad our tastebuds have evolved 🙂
Looksl ike a good way to make it at home without having to make your own rue, etc
I wish we were getting some of the cold weather everyone else seems to be getting. I’m in California, and the governor has declared a drought. It’s really bad with the rivers drying up. I’ve loved and been eating Campbells soup since I was a little kid. I love chicken noodle & clam chowder! This soup looks really good. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Oh man! That soup looks amazingly good!
Definitely a classic and old standard. I can’t imagine anyone not loving soup… I’m a big fan of soups and we sure need them now. 🙂 Love the story sharing too.

That soup looks delicious! I love Tortilla soup.
That looks soooo good! I’ll have to make this for the family soon, especially with this freezing cold weather.
Vow, that looks delicious. We love chicken noodle soup as is but chicken tortilla soup it taking it to the next level.
What a great post! I just love those older advertisements. I can’t believe the first soup was made of hippopatamus?! That’s wild.
We love to eat Tortilla soup here in my home especially during the cold months.
Tortilla soup is one of my favorites!
What a great meal to have on a cold Midwest winter night. It is making my mouth water right now. Thank you for the recipe
I make all kinds. Chicken is always good.
I would add black olives. Also, if you’re looking for the perfect film to go with this for ‘Dinner and a Movie’ night, get the DVD of the romantic comedy-drama, “Tortilla Soup”, starring Hector Elizondo (“Pretty Woman) as the head of a family with 3 daughters. Funny and charmng!
I really enjoy eating a nice comforting hot bowl of soup! This recipe looks fantastic. I love that Black beans and corn is in it. I love that combo. Thank you for sharing. I will give this a try.
My teen has always LOVED Campell’s chicken noodle soup! LOL! The recipe looks so easy, which I love. And I think my teen and hubby would love it. Thanks so much!!
This looks so good. It’s a perfect soup for the cold weather. I can’t wait to try your recipe. Thanks!
This soup looks amazing!! I wish I could use these soups to make it, but i have a dairy issue. I’ll have to figure something out and make it because yummmmmm!!!!!!!
That chicken Tortilla soup looks so amazing. Definitely something I would love to dig into on a cold day like today! Great recipe!

Oh my Goodness! This looks absolutely wonderful. I was craving this yesterday (and again now after seeing the photo). I know what I’ll be making this weekend. Thanks! 🙂
That looks so good! I’m looking for some slow cooker soup recipes, too! And… hippopotamus? Yuck! 🙂
I am now drooling at my screen.
That looks delicious.
LOL! I might also be drooling a little bit! It looks so delicious and warming on this cold dreary day!
This soup looks so good! Thanks for sharing your recipe, I pinned it!
I use Campbell’s Condensed Cream of Chicken Soup to make Chicken and Dumplings. It helps thicken up the batch nicely.
I have always loved classic chicken noodle soup, but this looks amazing! I would love to make this.
WOW 80 years! I love their soup! I think my favorite is their Tomato soup made with milk – add a grilled cheese sandwich and we have some major feel good food! Hubby and I always keep a can in the cupboard for that special meal.
I had no idea it was National Soup Month. Yum. I love soup, especially in the winter.
I did not know that is how Chicken Noodle soup got its name but I have been eating it since I was a child and I actually had it for lunch today.
Love the recipe that you shared and I will be trying that out.
The Chicken Tortilla Slow Cooker Soup looks like a winning recipe. I always keep at least one can of Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup on hand, just in case my kiddos or hub get sick.
I love those old ads so much! And thanks for reminding me to use my slow cooker- somehow I always forget how convenient it is!
With this weather…soup is number one on my menu!
I love how in the chicken tortilla recipe photo you have some of the noodle and sauce hanging over the cup! It looks amazingly delicious. You probably think this pregnant lady is crazy lol. 🙂
Looks yummy! This would have been perfect this week to do with the freezing temps we had!
I make a mean broccoli cheddar soup using their soups. Your chicken tortilla one looks like one I just might have to make.
What an easy way to make a nice soup
They sound so good. I don’t cook at all though
I’ve used Campbell’s soups as ingredients in other recipes but I’ve never considered using it in a slow cooker recipe!
Wow, this looks good. It’s funny… I cook with Campbell’s soup all the time, but don’t think I have ever made SOUP! lol I need to try something like this!
Mmm I need to make this soup! Sounds delicious
Hippopotamus!? Wow. I”ll pass. But I love chicken noodle! lol
I absolutely love chicken tortilla soup!
What a great recipe. I love things with a little spicy twist. I didn’t realize it was national soup month. I guess I have been celebrating all month – we have been having a lot of soup!
That soup looks soooo yummy! I love tortilla soup and I love using my slow cooker – so I MUST try this recipe!
I have never figured out what it is about the plain old Campbell’s Chicken Noodle soup that never gets old. I had it just last week. Your Chicken tortilla Soup looks delicious, I bet my boys would love it. I love how the name changed of the soup after a mistake in announcing the product – funny how things happen that way.
I’ve been looking for a great chicken tortilla soup! I’m going to print this and add it to my recipe binder!
My kids LOVE this brand chicken noodle soup and eat it at least 1X a week! What a nice spin on how you added other ingredients to it!
bookmarking– this looks ABSOLUTELY delicious!
MMM this sounds so so good. I only use tomato soup out of a can. I need to make more soups to warm me up.
Those are really fun facts! Who would have thought the first soup was made from hippopotamus, LOL. I pinned this so I can remember it and the tortilla soup recepy also 🙂
Yum! This looks so good. I have been really wanting some delicious soup but still haven’t made any!
Chicken tortilla soup is my fave!
Happy National Soup month. I love soup. Love the great soup facts. I am definitely going to make that chicken tortilla soup. Yummy!!!
I did not know it had that many noodles.
This looks yummy! With all this cold, I could use a big bowl of this too.
Thanks for sharing.
Wow I had no idea they had been around so long – that dish looks amazing – I really do need a slow cooker! x
My husband just bought a CASE of chicken noodle soup at Sam’s Club. I’m soooo over eating just regular soup and we have many cans to go before we’re out again.
Thats a really really great idea to use the soup along with some other goodies! I always use broth alone but you got smarter than I did.
Today feels like the perfect day for chicken tortilla soup. It has been so dreary lately that I need a good pick me up 🙂
I’ve never heard of National Soup month. The perks of blogging, you learn something new everyday. I made chicken foot soup earlier this month. tehehehe
oh that sounds so absolutely yummy and appealing right now.
I have to try it out
I had no idea it was national soup month! I need to try your recipe now!
I make homemade french onion soup. It is so good!
Mmm, that looks amazingly drool-worthy! How odd to know that some ate hippopotamus soup!
I had no idea there were 32 feet of noodles inside a Campbell’s chicken noodle soup can! That Chicken Tortilla soup looks great, and it much needed around here right now – with the temperatures being just now getting back to over freezing.
Those facts are so cool! Chicken Tortilla soup sounds and looks so yummy!
This looks so delicious!!! Totally gotta try this recipe!
I am so impressed by how you transformed a can of soup. Looks delish!
Heavens I’ve been eating Campbells soups almost all my life–and their Chicken Noodle has always been my favorite-. I actually like to use the condensed Cream of Mushroom soup in a couple of recipes.
that looks amazingly delicious. I love soup but the rest of the clan could go either way
YUM! Looks delicious, Liz! Chicken Tortilla Soup is a recent favorite of mine!
I love Chicken Noodle. But your Chicken Tortilla soup looks amazing.
Love soup, and it seems like we’ve been having it almost every day. Would love to add this recipe to my collection.
Wow this soup looks and sounds heavenly! I will make this very soon!
Great Campbell’s info, I love reading stuff like that! Your soup also looks so delicious. I’ve been wanting to try our slow cooker out more so can’t wait to try this!
We just made Tomato Crab Bisque soup last night for supper! It was amazing!!
YUM! This sounds fantastic and looks fairly easy to throw together in a pinch!
Oh I just love chicken soup – but I’ve never made it with tortillas. I can’t wait to try this!
This looks so good and not that hard to make. Perfect for those cold days we have been having here in Canada 🙂
mmmm printing out the tortilla soup recipe….did not know it was 32 feet in every can….wow
ALL I’ve been wanting (and making) lately is soup! Pots and pots of soup! it is the PEFECT food for all this cold weather we have been having!
Hippopotamus soup? That doesn’t even sound appealing to me. I’ll stick with chicken. 🙂
very cool history lesson on soup we are a huge soup eating family especially on cold days like today
I cannot imagine hippopotamus soup! LOL..ugh! But, your Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup sounds divine! Time to get the crock pot out!
This recipe looks delicious! I love soup.. matter of fact I’m going to make some now LOL!
This soup is right up my alley! I love a nice warm soup on a chilly winter night. Chicken noodle is my favorite soup, too! I have to try this.
I’m glad we’ve come a long way from Hippo soup! 32 feet of noodles is a lot of noodles!
Im liking this! I love your little bowls as well-very cute!
Mmmm if you knew what I was eating for lunch you’d know why I’m sitting here drooling over your soup photos. That looks so darn good.
Cold weather and soup just go together, no doubt about it! Made Michael a can of potato soup at the hospital yesterday. He ate the whole can… and kept it down!
Chicken Noodle Soup is my youngest child’s favorite, and my daughter loves the Chicken and Rice. 😉
How funny that it wasn’t popular, can you even imagine? And hurrah for the radio guy’s slip up, I do suppose!!
I wish every month was soup month. Soup is my official favorite food (pizza is RIGHT on its heels, but that’s another story). 😉
Oh that looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your recipe, we love soup around here!
That looks soooo yummy! I need to get over my irrational fear of burning my house down if I leave my slow-cooker on while we’re not at home. 🙂
i love tortilla soup!! this looks super easy, too
I love soup and am so loving this. I hope it tastes as good as it looks cause I’m definitely trying it!
oh, that looks awesome. i love black beans and corn with chicken
Soup is about my favorite winter dinner. When I am sick Campbell’s cream of chicken is my go to for feeling better.
I didn’t know that Chicken Noodle Soup didn’t start out with that name, isn’t that so funny how a little change can make something go from a dud to a tradition.
great recipe! glad you didn’t try the hippopotamus version 😉
Bookmarking! Totally making this!
I adore my slow cooker and really need to start using I more often. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the history behind this soup, how cool! The oldest ad is awesome to read. Your recipe also looks amazing and we love using Campbell’s cream soups for our recipe creations too.
This looks awesome and so easy! I’ll be adding this to my menu for next week since I have everything already 🙂
I could go for a bowl of that hearty soup right now! (It’s not even lunch yet.) Cambell’s soup is a staple in so many great recipes! Those old adds are neat to look at too.
