Sainsbury's Basics Creamed Chicken Soup

I adore soup! I'll virtually eat any variety and any make. As I have it for lunch most days I find I've tried most of what the supermarkets have on offer and realised that I'm someone who doesn't do 'Economy Products' in any way shape or from. I'm a brand snob but occasionally will buy shop own products but anything that looks basic I give a wide berth. However a while ago while in Sainsbury's late one night I wasn't at all well and knew I needed something to eat and all I wanted was a tin of Heinz Tomato Soup but the shelves in my city centre store were near on empy and all they had to offer me was their own economy tin. Well I had to have it though I was ...  Read the complete review

Sainsbury,s basics CHICKEN SOUP (CREAMED) Shopping in sainsbury,s for a few tins to keep in the cupboard for a rainy day, this soup is available for a mere 27p per can.

I was strolling through Sainsbury today when I cam across , this. I have a habit of picking up any time which is ridiculously cheap. This was one of those items. at like 27 p If I remember correctly. Well I came home feeling awfully hungry and the soup was the only thing that would be ready in 5 minutes, I chucked it in microwave. I am usually quite impressed by basics product; this however was not one of those moments. I tasted it plain first and was disappointed, my expectations shattered. It was the blandest soup I had ever tasted. Well any ways I was hungry so I set about to make it a bit acceptable. Got some hot pepper sauce, ...  Read the complete review
