Cup a soup thoughts 🤔

[Webbo2]

Is that the same as Vulcan?

It is in North Yorkshire.😎

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.

You'd be surprised...

Bovril or miso for me if I want a savoury drink, but that's quite rare tbh.

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 sort of do this. I get the ramen noodles from Aldi (the plain ones that have four bundles in a packet for 99p), add some stock, whatever flavourings I want, any leftover meat / veg that might be in the fridge and maybe a tablespoon of mayo to finish off. Not japanese kewpie mayo, that's well spendy...

Ramen noodles are a bit 'foreign' for our Accrington lad.

I used to quite like a mug of boullion back in my vegan days. Cheaper, less salty and more flavourful. Plus if I didn't finish it I could use the rest in actual cooking.

We have a soup maker and that way, we know what goes into it.

Same here, normally use miso paste as the stock base with a bit of garlic and ginger, and ideally some fresh coriander to finish it off!

I'm just having one of those mushroom and croutons cup a soups I bought two days ago. I added a good squirt of garlic puree/paste and it tastes very nice.😉👍

Has anyone called an ambulance for Accy?

The way he’s going he could up with scurvy.😉

This may be strange coming from someone who likes instant noodles, but I think instant soups are boggin

B and M often have Ainsley Harriet cuppasoup on special offer. 79 pence for 4 I think

Chicken and leek, spicy tomato and some others are quite low fat so have them with lunch at work instead of a cup of coffee. Doctors orders for a low fat diet.

Nope, I eat very healthily thank you!😉 Today I blended broccoli, cauliflower, garlic and tomato soup. Then warmed it up with some of those small Patagonian scallops and extra virgin olive oil. A bit weird, quite tasty...and very healthy!😇👍
