Advantages: taste

Disadvantages: 400g tin a little big for 1 meal

When I'm feeling rubbish, after chocolate, this is the first foodstuff I turn to, especially when ill. Wholesome and comforting, this is very good winter food.

This soup comes in a 400g tin, or a 'tin for one' which is just about the perfect size for lunch, whilst a 400g tin, although technically two servings, is good for dinner, if you have my appetite anyway!

4 cans will set you back around £2 but you can buy them individually if you felt so inclined. Heinz is pricier than other soup, but it is much better quality and I have never found another soup that matches Heinz tomato soup.

The taste test: The soup is tomato-ey but not too strong a taste. It is very creamy and thick, but I do have to say that I find it a little bland on its own. I usually add dashings of cheese to the top, and I like to mix in dairylea cheese which melts a little to thicken the soup a little. It's also great with a bit of bread in it or with some ham.

It is healthy: made from real tomatoes and so low in fat and sugar.

Summary: creamy, lovely soup
