• Your favourite 'tinned' soup

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:29 am**

Yes, we do cook our own from scratch and buy fresh soup when we can't be arsed, but I'm talking about the convenience of having some tins of soup in your cupboard.

Now I've got that out of the way. What are your favourite tinned soups? By the way, I'm on Baxter's Royal Game for lunch.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:35 am**

There can only be 1...

Heinz Cream of Tomato

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:36 am**

I'm intrigued as to why 'tinned' is in inverted commas.

My favourite would be Heinz version of minestrone.

I'm use packet soups because they are lower on calories. But now you've mentioned tinned soups, I might venture out for a tin of French Onion soup.

I'm not normally a fan but in an emergency I don't mind Heinz mulligatawny with extra pepper and doorsteps of bread with real butter dipped in....also use it for a base in chilli con carne etc

Baxter’s Royal Game is one of my favourites, and if I had to go Heinz I’d say Beef Broth

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:48 am**

Heinz Pea ‘n Ham is excellent.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:49 am**

Heinz Beef Broth.

The only vegetable soup I've found that doesn't contain peas.

I don't like peas.

Regularly have a tin of soup for lunch with some cheese on toast. I mix it up but Baxter’s chicken and vegetable broth is a particular favourite especially with a drop of hot sauce added.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 11:58 am**

now this is what Up the Clarets was designed for...

Haven't had it for years
I'm now yearning for it

Another shout for pea and ham but Baxter’s is by far the best. Very difficult to get hold of in Burnley but managed to get some from Spar on Padiham Rd.

Heinz oxtail is excellent poured over chips. Makes the best chip butties. Now there is a childhood memory.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:05 pm**

Mine is oasis soup when. People. Ask why. That one I say you get a roll with it taxi for Lenny utc

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:07 pm**

Baxter's minestrone is wonderful, i always have a few in
the cupboard.
Like a meal in itself with crusty bread.
Lovely.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:10 pm**

Heinz Tomato....Cream of..... and half a loaf of thick sliced white bread

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:18 pm**

Royal Game doesn't half make a good winter's lunch. I'm having it with four rashes of thick granary toast.

I also love Heinz oxtail soup with a good shake of the old white pepper.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:19 pm**

Baxter’s lentil and bacon, with a dash of malt vinegar

That's another favourite of mine, but without the malt vinegar, though I might give it a try now that you have mentioned it.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:31 pm**

Another one for comfort food during the winter months - pour a tin of pea & ham over a decent (Haffner's) meat pie. Place the pie in a big soup bowl first, though.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:38 pm**

Another vote for Mulligatawny (preferably Heinz but others are also good).

In winter I have tinned soup once most weeks for lunch. Homemade w/w bread sliced thick and lightly toasted, bit of unsalted butter spread on and cut into fingers for dipping.
I used to love Heinz tomato, pea & ham and ox-tail too but not so much nowadays- especially the latter two.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:39 pm**

Baxters Scotch Broth especially nice poured over a decent meat and potato pie

Aye, has to be cut into fingers for dipping. I have one of those big tea mugs that holds over a pint. Pour 400ml tin of soup into the mug and cover top with cling film. Put a breather hole in it and heat up for 2 minutes in the microwave. Take out and stir, then back in for 50 or 60 seconds.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 12:53 pm**

We don`t tend to buy tinned soups but ... Our go to "buy in the supermarket" is from Morrisons in a carton and its "3 Bean soup", its bloody good and we always add some freshly fried smoked bacon lardons before heating it mmmmmmm lovely with crusty bread

.

If I had to say a tinned soup it would be Baxters Mulligatawny soup

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:00 pm**

I’m no Veggie but I love minestrone soup, preferably Heinz. Cream of Tomato on cold winters days and either Chilcken or Mushroom (or combined) when I’m feeling under the weather.

All are better with croutons, and bread/roll liberally buttered (real butter) and a liberal application of salt and pepper to taste.

I’m hungry now… mmm.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:09 pm**

Baxters Cullen skink with buttered crusty bread

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:15 pm**

Heinze chicken and mushroom.

Currently tucking into a Baxter’s Pea and Ham.

Special mentions for the go-to Heinz Cream of Tomato, and Baxter’s Lentil and Bacon.

Bonners roast chicken parsley and rosemary.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:45 pm**

Chicken soup imo is best home made by boiling up a left over carcass from the Sunday roast with chef’s base, a bouquet garni from the garden (if you have one) and a couple of whole garlic cloves (skin left on). Add orzo 20mins from the end and a bit of tarragon. Don’t really like tinned chicken soup.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:50 pm**

Heinz Tomato, boring choice perhaps, but come on - what a classic. I'll never turn that down if offered with some crusty bread.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 2:52 pm**

Like a lot of soups, besides buying also making.

Up until 15 it was Oxtail by far, at 15 I discovers seafood soup in a harbour in Spain, first trip outside the UK for me, life changing event lol.

Since then can add Cullen Skink, Mulligatawny and any kind of Gumbo to the joint second place, Seafood Soup still number one for me.

Like many of the others mentioned but above are my preferences.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:16 pm**

Make my own so I can sit here feeling all self righteous.

Back to topic though, I ain't bought none for years and years but I'd probably favour the lamb BIG SOUP or something along those lines.

In a carton, probably Covent Garden chicken.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:23 pm**

Another for tomato can't go wrong with that.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 3:38 pm**

Tinned tomato soup with a quarter of a teaspoon of Kashmiri chilli powder stirred through it before heating. Kashmiri powder is a mild chilli powder that gives food a warm heat while adding additional depth to the flavours. We use it quite a lot in our house.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 4:08 pm**

For me it's Baxter's lobster bisque.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 5:12 pm**

chicken noodle, oxtail and chicken my favourites, with a toasted portugese roll

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 5:19 pm**

Mulligatawny...proper winter warmer.

any clam chowder, with a generous sprinkle of white pepper

Snow's Manhattan Clam Chowder, with a bit of hot sauce dashed in.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 6:51 pm**

any soup with a haffners meat or pork pie in it heinz tomato would be good or a veg one

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:09 pm**

Baxter's Game, as mentioned oft times on here.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:49 pm**

Proper Czech sour cabbage zelenacka soup with chunks of klobasa sausage in and 3 fresh rohliky to dip in it!

Tinned? Beef Big Soup

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 7:54 pm**

Cheaper to make your own now at £1.70 a can,

However back in the day as a student, cream of tomato , with boiled pasta and grated cheese , black pepper and a splash of Tabasco was my cheap meal to get me through

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 8:04 pm**

After browsing this thread I searched my cupboards for soup,right at the back a solitary tin of Heinz leek and bacon soup,and lovely it was with Warbys bread spread thickly with Lurpak.
Thanks to this thread I just enjoyed a lovely snack.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 8:04 pm**

One of my student meals was musroom soup mash. Boil some spuds, heat the mushroom soup and mash it in. Bang some grated cheese on top.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 8:27 pm**

Cream of tomato.

Posted: **Thu Feb 02, 2023 8:33 pm**

I make my own... cheaper, better, healthier (have you seen how much salt/sugar is in tinned soups?)

However - Heinz chicken soup and toast is my hangover lunch when I'm proper rough. The slimy lumpy bits are ace
