cup a soups

chuky_r_law

just bought a knorr chicken noodle cup a soup. very disappointed i must say. last time i bought a packet of this was about ten years ago in new zealand. that was reasonably chickeny, with plenty of noodles and veg. fairly decent for something so cheap. this knorr one though is rubbish. there are about 20 tiny bits of diced carrots and parsnips (and i mean tiny!), and then there are these little hoopy things floating about, which i presume are the noodles. and there is hardly any flavour.

have to say i'm a bit disappointed. is this the best we can do?

anyone know of a better brand of these in ireland?

Cup-a-Soups you say? Oh well when I was in Cambodia...

Oxtail is good but it takes one-and-a-half of them to make a proper cup.

beans in a bowl.

beans soup.

Cup a soups? A sachet full of dust, which when hot water is added, tastes like hot watery dust. The flavour on the side of the packet is irrelevant.

Ah just go for real soup, I'd rather tea than them cup a soups.

Theyre full of MSG too. So are the Knorr stock cubes, it's the cheaper ones like the tesco own brand that have better ingredients.

Fact. Unless you buy the raw materials ie chicken and vegetables, you will be buying chemicals in packaging. What a joke to think we spend so much money on food that shouldn't really be classed as food.

Anyone that buys that sh*te expecting it to even resemble food deserves to be disappointed.

think it works out as 40c a sachet. so i really wasnt expecting much. but for it to disappoint me at that price then thats saying something

.... and then there's those mysterious "croutons" that bob around in your cup making you think that lumps of polystyrene have dropped from the ceiling while you weren't looking.:(

You want real soup?

Then try the Organic Moroccan style soup you can buy in Superquinn, out of this world and so filling.

Riddle101

It's like The Sopranos are making cup of soups now. There's no quality in them. I mean I remember the cup of soups tasted decent enough, but now they have no real taste.

my sinus' are fecked so was told to drink plenty of hot liquids. not something ive had in ten years but have to say that this was way worse than i thought it was going to be

Colmustard

Packets of flavoured salts and chemicals of which you add water.

I don't imagine they are for the healthy eaters even the low fat and salt versions.

Colmustard

For once AHs is in complete agreement, cup of soups are muck and probably toxic muck.

My sis make big pots of natural soup, fecken gorgeous, I must learn how.

Am I the only one that loves a good cup a soup??

Got a cold ? Hot Whiskey is your friend

They were, most likely, never tasty. As you have grown older your tastebuds have become more sophisticated and less likely to tolerate crap.

When I become dictator one of my first acts will be to ban pot noodles.

+1. But failing that I do like soupfulls! my fav is the beef one- although it smells like dog food when it's cold on the pack- but you won't smell that if your sick

save that for the pub. lemon and cloves. no sugar!!!

hot rum (old sea dog works well) does the job too.
