New Covent Garden Soup Company

I am a big fan of soups and if you are trying to lose a bit of weight they are some of the best things to have as a lunchtime snack. We quite often make our own soups, especially with left over vegetables from the Sunday Roast, but if we're not able to manage this, I need look no further that the New Covent Garden Food Co. for a really tasty range of alternatives. One of the best things to say about these soups is that they are made from all natural ingredients. They are about the closest soups to homemade ones that I have tried and I'm sure it's down to these healthy ingredients. All of the soups are packaged in cardboard cartons which I think ...  Read the complete review

Eye of toad, Wing of bat I'm a veggie , I don't fancy that. It's October already (where has the year gone?) so Halloween is almost upon us. I'm sitting at my cauldron cackling away with my designer pointy hat on and I'm wondering what potion I can create. Luckily the Covent Garden Food Company has come up with a suitably seasonal warming, fresh and natural soup, who really wants to eat spiders legs or blood of dog anyway? Its appropriately named Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble” and is a pumpkin and pepper soup with “an underlying sweetness of apricots”. It sounds unusual and delicious and best of all new Covent Garden soups were on special ...  Read the complete review

I was so relieved when I discovered this product! At last I thought! I can finally buy ready made soups that actually taste good and actually taste like the ingredients stated on the packaging!

They are a London based company that believes in creating top notch soups (and also risottos and pasta sauces) using high quality, fresh ingredients. They do a variety of flavours, some suitable for vegetarians and out of all of them my personal favourite is the Plum ...  Read the complete review

Soup rocks. There is no doubt about it. I make a mean curried parsnip soup and, if I say it myself, a darned good roasted tomato and pepper soup. My mother's cream of broccoli soup is to die for. Equally wonderful are her lentil soup and her leek and potato offering. You cannot beat homemade soup. It is, sadly, rather a different story in the supermarket. Batchelor's Cup-A-Soup does not rock. Neither does anything made by Heinz and put into tins. Baxter's put some decent soup into tins, but Campbell's do not. In the supermarket chiller, you will find acres and acres of shelf space ...  Read the complete review

Since the beginning of 2004 and i have been on one of these 'healthy eating' type things. Out of the fridge went all the stodge. I gave myself until 2nd January to get rid of all the fatty food, all the chocolate and all the stuff that really isn’t very good for me. Did i manage it? Yes i did...and now im pleased to report that my fridge is full of fresh vegetables, low fat cheese (3% fat it is), semi skimmed milk, no margarine, low fat butter and best of all ive given up bread and wheat based things for a whole month! So what can i eat? Well having seen the Kellogg’s Special K diet thing advertised on the television, i decided that ...  Read the complete review
