Soup? Can take it or leave it. At a push I'd say Heinz Chicken or Mushroom. Something simple. Too many chunks of vegetable and it's too reminiscent of warm vomit.

The new Heinz "Special" soups are very nice - Med. Tomatoe and Bacon is my fave.

Not a fan of the fresh Covent Garden soups - far too much salt in some of them.

Won't eat packet or tinned soup due to the levels of salt in them. Home made with fresh Veg is the way to go.

Home made grandma-style vegetable broth with parsnips, leeks, carrots, onions, barley, split peas, marrowfat peas and a beef shank or chicken and a couple of boiled potatoes in it. Mmmmm....perfect for those winter lunchtimes.

Or.......

Have a roast dinner (chicken or beef) and not eat something that looks like someone else spat it out once already.

It has been known to cure most things, yes. I often make it when I feel a bit run down, or the day after excessive consumption of wife beater.

Heinz tomato has always been a winner, even better with a touch of cream added.

I personally really like Campbell's Clam Chowder New England style. Trouble is they only sell it the States which is a shame. No other clam chowder can hold a candle to it.

if anyone lives in manchester, they must go to the Oddfellows arms in mellor, near marple and try the muscle chowder - mind blowingly delicious. - its a starter, you won't need to eat a main course

'Those Convent Garden Soup company soups are lovely '

Some are, some are rank, their Beef, Thyme and Merlot was like brown water flavoured with rubbing Alcohol, utterley disgusting and nearly 3 quid.

Have to agree, home made is best every time, also you do have to watch the salt intake, however on most other counts most soups are fairly healthy, most are less than 300 calories per can and fill you up, *** opposed to an 800 cal sandwich, bag of crisps and a mars bar.
