Cup a soup thoughts 🤔

[MontyVeda]

It's got to be about twenty years since I last had a cup-a-soup.

Not much in the way of nutrition. It's basically flavoured salty water. Be better off buying a can or carton if you don't want to make your own. And tbh, it's not like soup is difficult to make...

nobody, not nobody considers cup-a-soup as an alternative to actual soup. We all know that it's flavoured salty water. It's a drink and as Accy says, an alternative to having a brew.

Been a long time since I last had a cup a soup.
I do enjoy a Bovril these days to replace a coffee, especially on a cold winters day 😋

I think it was Hugh Fearnley-Whittingsall years ago who suggested making your own pot noodle e.g with frozen veg, rice noodles and stock/boulion. It's a nice idea but I always forget to do it, and you need a container large enough to put it in.

I enjoy the Miso soup option. Can use miso stock if you run out of sachets.
But like an exotic Marmite soup.
Warming, tasty drink.
Was a middle of the night option on extended, bumpy sailing trips.
Did make the mistake of buying the more expensive version with gobbettes of tofu. Won't make that mistake again.

I wonder what biscuits he dunks in it... 🤢

What do you think about cup a soup(s)?

I try not to think about cup-a-soup.

We keep a few in the camper van, and I will quite often (in said van) have one as a late night snack, usually golden vegetable, mainly as a hot drink that doesn't have any caffeine.

My recipe for cup a soup :

Tablespoon of salt.

1/3 a cup of wood shavings.

A tablespoon of grit from the road outside.

E2846 (depleted uranium) and E958 (ground up toilet block) as flavourings.

Add hot water to taste.

I'd take that with a pinch of salt

Unless you’re growing your own vegetables and free range meat you’re eating food that’s just as bad as a cup a soup.

Even if you are buying the above from the organic farm shop.

WTF are you on about?! I'm replacing brews as in beverages, not replacing meals with cup a soups! I eat very healthily thank you!😏

If your using it to feed yourself when you haven’t the time to make a snack, then Fossyant’s comment is a valid one.

Hmm Cup a soup - if they are good enough for Slade then they are good enough for anyone.

IYKYK!
