£1.40 from Tesco at time of writing. A tin (as opposed to plastic pot) of exactly the same stuff would be less than a pound. It’s certainly easier/tidier than a tin – 1m45s in the microwave, stirring halfway, and no pan to wash up. All of the packaging parts are recyclable too. But the soup… [Read More]
soup reviews
Chuckle chuckle, guffaw guffaw, tee hee. We’ve all seen it on the shelf of our local corner market, and we’ve all thought about buying it just to be able to take it home to say “who wants to try some cock”? So, in a review that may finally see Student Munch blacklisted from the web,… [Read More]

New Covent Garden Soup Co
Very tasty soup; creamy and rich whilst still being moreish and not sickly. You could be served this as a starter in a restaurant along with fresh bread and butter and you’d most likely be perfectly satisfied. The markup on this is huge- it probably cost Covent Garden pennies to make. I got it reduced… [Read More]

Glorious!
Very tasty, and for the first time ever, a ready meal soup with REAL CHICKEN. With pieces that are bigger than a housefly, for a change! £1.99 – RRP. £1 reduced Lovely coconut and peanut flavour without being too rich. Quite a thin soup, with a few bits of veg and some individual grains of… [Read More]

A rich lobster flavour really comes through the mixture. The smoothness of the texture resembles the smoothness of real lobster. Gorgeous flavour. If you find it for £2 or more, knock a star off.
Reasonably tasty. Actual pieces of chicken, some of them almost an inch long! Nice, easy microwave instructions. Nice idea. More chicken then expected, and more than it first appears. Not bad!
The noodles have no texture, flavour or vigour. Nicely surprised by real pieces of chicken, albeit tiny. Authentic Chinese flavour, but no SUBSTANCE. Feels a bit like eating the sauce from a chinese dish, but without the dish. Tasty enough, would have again. Serving suggestion: add your own pieces of chicken/mushrooms. Though, admittedly, this kind… [Read More]
The cheese and the broccoli come through very strongly. Finally, a soup that doesn’t taste like every other cup-a-soup! Not overly blended- nice little bits of potato and onion here and there. Tasty, nutricious. Beware this is stilton cheese, and tastes like it. Don’t expect cheddar! Lovely, powerful, mature cheese, which isn’t too strong for… [Read More]
Really gorgeous thai curry smell. Don’t let the word “soup” fool you- I tried eating this with a spoon and struggled! This is principally a noodle dish and you’ll need chopsticks or a fork. Lovely, clearly fresh ingredients, healthy stuff, one of your five a day. The sauce is just creamy enough, and has a… [Read More]
Pleasant, dark taste, akin to a gravy. Basically a mincemeat gravy, only a bit mean on the mincemeat. The soup is a little bland, could do with seasoning. Meat pieces are about the size of the bits of meat that get stuck in your teeth after a hearty meal. In other words, titchy. Certainly edible,… [Read More]
