Don't normally buy tinned soup, but saw some on special at Tesco on Saturday and what with this cold damp weather I thought I'd give it a go. Just tried it now and I can definitely recommend it. It's called Tesco sweetcorn and chicken chowder; it's a new one. Would definitely buy again

I didn't find the carrot and coriander filling but now I bring a wholemeal roll to eat with my soup and that's much better.
I posted that earlier but my post disappears so apologies if this is a double post and the original comes back!

I can only eat a little Heinz tomato soup because I find the flavour so strong.
Anyone else like toast with their soup?

Heinz tomato soup takes some beating. It's lovely with great big chunks of white bread!
I agree.

Oh, it was in ours - maybe it varies from store to store. Sorry about the wasted trip GC

They had Heinz on 3 for 2.
Did you buy any? I'll keep a look out for it

Yay, toast with soup is great, can't beat it, especially with chicken soup. Incidentally, chicken soup has been medically proven to prevent choriza the virus that causes the common cold.

I love soup with things like toast and sandwiches but also I love cream crackers crumbled up (not too small) and sprinkled into the bowl.
I have to be really annoying now and say I never eat tinned soup..... I always make my own. (Ducks quickly behind the sofa before the cushions start flying!!) 
I make vegetable soup, mushroom soup, tomato soup and carrot and apple soup which is great on cold winter afternoons.
The tinned stuff always tastes too salty for me and very processed. Plus my lovely healthy start vouchers will buy me the ingredients, but not the tins of ready made stuff.

Yes - it's my usual lunch at work. And I do make my own soup - vatloads of the stuff - but I like to keep a few tins in as a standby. I don't like packet soup at all though.

Packet soup is a lot of salt and not much else. I have some in my desk for emergencies, but I'm not usually that desperate.

My kids would eat packet soup if given the chance....... they rarely get the chance at home, but my mum sometimes gives them one when they visit her.
The last time I tried one of those (eldest daughter managed to persuade me to try a new carrot and coriander flavour) I ended up throwing it down the sink. Never again! I bet the packet would taste better.

No i pay 59p a time for one. Well worth it though as he has red icing for coat buttons and chocolate eyes.

I like the ring doughnuts which have pink icing and diagonal chocolate stripes from the bakery. But most cakes and buns I prefer from the supermarket unfortunately.

I always think those donuts look so yummy, and every now and again I think I'll have to buy one and I do, but two mouthfuls into it I realise I am not enjoying myself and that's when I remember that I don't like donuts! I wish they tasted as good as they look to me.
I do love the iced finger buns with jam in from Tesco, and they do wonderful jam tarts, but somehow store bought scones never taste as good as home made.
