Lipton Cup-a-Soup Chicken Noodle

Lipton Cup-a-Soup is a widely recognized brand of instant powdered soup designed for quick preparation. The brand Lipton was originally founded in Scotland by Sir Thomas Lipton in 1890, first making a name for itself in the tea market before expanding into dry food products like soups and sauces.

Today, the ownership of Lipton is divided. While the tea business was largely sold to CVC Capital Partners (forming Liptea), the dry foods division, which includes the iconic Cup-a-Soup products, remains under the ownership of Unilever. Unilever is a British multinational consumer goods company with headquarters in London.

Manufacturing of Cup-a-Soup occurs globally to serve different regional markets. While many North American products are produced in the United States or Canada, the brand maintains a global manufacturing footprint.
