These days, he is probably right. They did steal his idea though, & probably cheaper to settle than go to court. Of course if he does get some money the lawyer will probably get most of it.
Actually, you cannot patent a food “idea”, you can patent a recipe but since the company used his idea not recipe he is out of luck. Besides is the chicken soup made from scratch or from a can? Adding a teaspoon of caffeine powder to a can of Campbells soup is not a recipe.
