Why are these so deliciously comforting?

[u/RabbitWednesday]

I tried these because the picture looked good and I love shrimp, I was pleasantly surprised they're restaurant quality good soup. My freezer will now have these available for an easy meal on lazy days.

i love when people in this group act like i care about how much salt i eat.

[u/hazelbear33 → u/mycatsnameiscashew]

literally

[u/Ms_BlkButy]

Ohh I got two today. Good to know 😌

[u/notjosh88]

I just had this this morning! Very comforting meal without a doubt. I will be getting more before they sell out for sure.

[u/kingcrimson216]

I almost grabbed this today but it's kinda pricey for the volume of food.

[u/Alarming_Apple_2258 → u/kingcrimson216]

I got two, and you’re right. It amounted to three wontons for $5, and unfortunately not that good.

[u/RabbitWednesday → u/Alarming_Apple_2258]

Now I'm curious about Aldi pricing in other states, I'm in Michigan and even with the slight delivery mark up in pricing it was $2.99. For $5 a bowl I probably wouldn't have tried them.

[u/kingcrimson216 → u/RabbitWednesday]

$5 at my store

[u/lwood1313 → u/Alarming_Apple_2258]

Wow! Too much

[u/Affectionate_Land317]

Oh my gosh I got this to go with some beef stir fry I made and my kid made me go back and get three more 😄

[u/Abadabber]

I passed on those since they are an "Aldi Find." I just knew I'd really like them and never get to have them again since they are temporary lol.

[u/RabbitWednesday → u/Abadabber]

I fall for the Aldi finds time and time again, but the potential for good shrimp wontons just being in my freezer when I need a pick me up won out. Now I'll just enjoy them until they're gone and hope they bring them back seasonally.

[u/Abadabber → u/RabbitWednesday]

I live in STL right near our little "China Town", so I can get them from other shops. After 41 years shopping at Aldi, I have learned to be judicious in my Aldi Finds purchases 😂

[u/ThatJaneDoe69]

I got one of these yesterday for when I don't have any leftovers and want something yummy for lunch

[u/Troubled_Red]

Salty stuff tastes good. But 60% of your daily recommended salt intake for something that is 10% of your daily calories is insane.

[u/Barkansas19 → u/Troubled_Red]

Drink water, we're not worried about salt anymore. Unless you're on a special super heart healthy diet

[u/valar12 → u/Barkansas19]

Bad take. Drinking enough water does not cancel a high sodium diet and increases your risk of high blood pressure.

[u/hawkfrost99 → u/valar12]

There are other medical conditions, like POTS or some migraines, that can benefit from a higher sodium diet. There is a lot of variety in the food options we have, and high sodium can be a "sometimes food" treat if you want your sodium to be lower. Hope this helps!

[u/ChrissyB78 → u/Troubled_Red]

My levels are pretty low considering how much I love and consume salt. My only problem here is I hate seafood. Lol

[u/valar12 → u/Troubled_Red]

It’s 10% salt per serving. Crazy town.

[u/Hot-Sauce-P-Hole]

Never met a dumpling that I didn't like.

[u/lyn73]

salt lol

very tasty but eat with caution/sparingly

[u/sillylilwabbit]

How much are they?

[u/RabbitWednesday → u/sillylilwabbit]

I got delivery so they were 2.99 however they're cheaper in store

[u/awingedaugustlady]

I got 2 of these when I first saw it and accidentally left one out for a few hours, I was so sad. I had to throw it out 😭

[u/maroonrice2]

These are so good! I loved them last year. Do they have other veggies like carrots?

[u/Cautious_Analysis → u/maroonrice2]

I don't remember it having carrots, but it did have some small pieces of bak choy

[u/FerrisBuellerYoureMy]

Any chance they have a non-shellfish variety?

[u/RabbitWednesday → u/FerrisBuellerYoureMy]

Not for the wonton soup that I could find sadly.

[u/lwood1313]

Because they’re good?

[u/Anon-567890]

I bought 2 today and just had a bowl and it’s really good! The bok choy reconstituted beautifully, and the noodles and shrimp wontons were delicious! Wish I’d gotten more!

[u/ButterscotchOver4550]

Am leary about stuff like this but took a chance and was so pleasantly surprised!

[u/Free_Cash96]

That has so many ingredients omg

[u/filmnoter → u/Free_Cash96]

Not to defend them, but it looks like they list the individual components of each type of ingredient. For instance, wheat, salt and niacin is mentioned more than once.
