Query: Does not taste fresh

As a native New Mexican transplanted to New York state, I'm always searching for something authentic from back home.This soup has all the right ingredients, but the flavor is overwhelmed by preservatives or chemicals of some kind; to me it tasted so bad that after the first package I had to throw the rest out.If you can get past the flavor, the packaging is very convenient for lunch at work, it heats up quickly in a microwave.
