Ajinomoto Knorr Soup DELI® Porcini Mushroom Cream Soup Pasta 42.3g is a single-serving cup of soup with the pasta already in it. Ajinomoto describes it as a rich, porcini-scented cream soup that clings to the curly pasta for a satisfying bite — the mushroom character is built in layers, from porcini powder and mushroom extract through to dried buna-shimeji, butter-sautéed mushroom powder and cheese powder. Add hot water and it becomes a small meal rather than a side. An official FAQ notes that the pasta was reformulated in August 2023 to be more filling and to rehydrate faster.
Ajinomoto publishes where the main ingredients come from: the pasta is made in Belgium, the mushroom extract in France, and the porcini powder and dried buna-shimeji in China. The finished cup is produced at Ajinomoto Foods' Kawasaki plant in Japan.
About Ajinomoto
Ajinomoto (味の素株式会社) began trading in May 1909 and was incorporated in December 1925. It holds the Knorr licence in Japan, where Soup DELI® is its cup-format soup-with-pasta range, alongside ranges such as Hondashi (ほんだし) bonito dashi granules.
What "soup pasta" means here
Soup pasta is a Japanese convenience-food format rather than an Italian dish: a cup holding dried pasta together with powdered soup, so that adding hot water produces both at once. It sits somewhere between an instant soup and an instant noodle — the pasta is the substance, and the soup is the sauce.
