Sweet soup? Ick!
Why would it be sweet? It's more like a bouillon cube.
The image looks like a hard candy, i.e. made with sugar, and since I couldn't find a Nutrition Facts label to check the sugar content I went with what it looks like to me. I'm not sure sucking on a bouillon cube would be all that great, too salty. But hey, to each their own. I didn't mean to 'yuck on your yum'.
Scientists? Preoccupied!

here's an early review
https://www.thetakeout.com/1758741/progresso-chicken-noodle-soup-drops-review/
I've already gone over the fact that they are, in fact, gross, and you won't want to try more than one. But the thing is, if you buy a container, you can bring it to your friends and family and say, "Hey, want to try a salty drop that's supposed to taste like chicken noodle soup? They're gross."
Or, take them into the doctor/dentist/bank office and mix them into the bowl of hard candies.
That’s so evil, lol, I love it
If I did that, my dentist would definitely know it was me., Lol
What kind of evil dentists has hard candies available in their lobby?
Just the regular evil kind
So my take from this is that this could be a neat alternative to bullion and a funny gag gift. That's honestly not nearly as awful as I expected.
I've gotten salty candy at Asian markets, I'm sure of this has been done better elsewhere.
They stole my catchphrase!
