nicest cup-a-soup ?

or hotcup, currently find the Erin beef and vegetable tasty enough.

There is no such thing as a nice cup-a-soup.
It's easier to find a pot of gold and the end of a rainbow.

An empty one.

Agreed, there really is no such thing as a nice instant cuppa soup. Yuck!

I know that everyone's definition of "tasty" is different but unless they dramatically improved since I last had one - admittedly over 10 years ago - then they are still rank.

They all taste like tomatoes that have been boil cooked in weak vegetable stock.

They're all vile. I particularly dislike the inevitable crunchy bits of pea and carrot that seem to defy being rehydrated.

Making your own soup is probably one of the easiest things to do in the kitchen, so make up your own and reheat at work (assuming there's a microwave, of course) and save a bundle of money. I just buy whatever happens to be the Lidl /Aldi fresh veg offer of the week whenever it's on and make a big batch of soup out of that.

Pot noodles are worse muck though

Oxtail. With a couple of slices of fresh Brennan's bread.

Though didn't they bring out a puke flavour a couple of years back. I thought it was very passable.

perhaps should have phrased it as least rank cup-a-soup !!

they are handy on these cold mornings, especially if where you are working involves bringing a flask and sandwiches. I also find the leak and potato flavor not too bad.

There are some nice ones coming in from Japan in the form of Miso soup, available in Asian markets. I like the Osuimono, and the spinach one is nice too. Healthy as well, good source of B vitamins.

Oxtail is the champion amongst cup-o-soups. Dipping a slice of buttered soda bread in it is expert level.

An Italian girl I worked with could not understand the concept of cuppa soups.

Was always a fan of Knorr's Chicken, but they messed with the recipe, and now it's horrible.

No clue. All I know is that this thread brought the cravings back with a vengeance and a trip to the shop is in order rofl

Muck-a-soup.

Terrible vile stuff altogether and riddled with salt as well. Make a big pot of your own which is very easily and cheaply done and keep it in freezer in small containers and use as required. Much more tasty and definitely more healthy for you.

Semele

Bachelors Cream of Asparagus is a proper craving food for me! Otherwise I hate them all.

El Guapo!

Forget the cup-a-soup stuff and get yourself a microwaveable vegetable soup by Cully & Sully.
Much much nicer!

Erin Oxtail is by far the best.

Lingua Franca

Snert is a disgusting name for a brilliant soup.

I bought this packet of miso cup a soups from a Chinese supermarket a year or so ago. The packet was for 12 cups of soup and had all these different strips of packets. So 12 miso paste, 12 very fine dried seaweed and tofu strips, 12 broth: 4 chicken, 4 beef, 4 veg. Best cup a soups ever, savoury and light and no clumpy powder.

But can I find the feckers again? No I cannot.

Hot Cup is where it's at.

fussyonion

Family member of mine is addicted to these. I particularly hate the chicken one; smells of sweaty privates.

Ruu

Always a soupy lump in the bottom no matter how well it is stirred! Rotten!

Used to live on the chicken with croutons as a lad though.

I just bought a packet of Knorrs 'Gourmet Moments' 'cause they were half price in tesco. It was mushroom, bacon and mascarpone cheese and it was friggin delicious!

Always found normal cup a soups rotten.. watery, with a few clumps at the bottom.

The moments one was fab.

Love an oul Oxtail

Would ye not just make a big pot of soup yourselves? Fcuk a load of vegetables and a stock cube into a pot with some water and leave it to simmer for a while. Result: tasty homemade soup that fills you up.


Cup-a-soups are rotten.

especially oxtail. Even the name sounds horrible.

knorr used to do a great tai vegatible soup in a bag but shelved it (probably because we have such bland taste in Ireland I assume)

a petition should be past round: I'm indignant

Skipen soup. You get a cup of chicken soup and then you empty half a packet of skips into it and let them melt. Yum.

Made my own vegetable soup and it was so tasty and at least you know what's in it.

This sounds like it could be a landmark invention. This needs to be tried.
Have you tinkered with other types of crisp and soup flavours?

Not yet. Skips are the only crisps I can think of that melt instantly. Plus its chicken and skipen, just seems to make sense.

I'm not sure if the Snax would melt but they could make for an interesting crouton.
