Your favourite 'tinned' soup

Post by Billy Balfour » 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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. ;)

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.

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.

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 :D .

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
