Continental Cup of Soup

There are numerous flavours available on our supermarket shelves of Continental Cup of Soup: Hearty Vegetable, Pumpkin, Lots of Noodles Chicken & Corn, Cream of Chicken, Lots of Noodles Chicken etc.
In the Lots of Noodles Chicken the 3rd ingredient listed is Maltodextrin (a form of MSG), the 6th ingredient are Flavour Enhancers 621 (MSG) & 635 (Disodium 5'- ribonucleotides). These flavour enhancers are banned in other countries but are very common in Australian foods. 635 can cause itchy skin rashes, hyperactivity & mood changes. The 9th ingredient listed is hydrolyzed corn protein (another source of MSG!) All good reasons to make it yourself!
