Introducing: Cup-a-Soup. The first real soup you cook up in a cup instantly. (1972)

Cup-a-Soup varieties: Kids can pick a soup! (1972)
Unless you are a very lucky mother, the beginning of the school year is filled with lunch bucket problems, especially when it comes to getting a hot, nourishing food included with the sandwiches and fruits.
Compounding the difficulty is the fact that different children have different tastes.
Lipton Cup-a-Soup can solve it all for you — and so easily. Just empty a packet into a small thermos, add a cup of boiling water, and stir.
There are five varieties, each packaged four packets to the box: chicken noodle, beef noodle, tomato, onion, and green pea.
Each one bursts instantly into a hearty soup, well-seasoned and “drinkable.” So, you see, you can make five different kinds at the same time, if you wish, without wasting an extra moment or movement, and without using any utensils except a teakettle and a spoon.
