I love soup in any way shape or form particularly on cold winter nights. I particularly like making my own but quite frankly it can be a time consuming job and talk about expensive and oh the washing up afterwards, no way! I hate having to peel and chop vegetables (got no food processor!) and I quite simply can't be bothered with it! I do find that alot of soups you can buy now can be just as tasty (if not more so in some cases) than home made. With the likes of Covent Garden soups and the ones in most supermarkets that are chilled there's a huge selection about to choose from, any flavour imaginable and you can buy mega healthy ones, added vitamins you name ...  Read the complete review

Batchelors Cup of soup and more Dooyoo 15/2/10 This soup made from powder in a sachet, is a most convenient way to get a bit of warmth and nourishment inside you on a cold day and for less than a pound for a pack of four is good value for money. As I work outside most of the year gardening and some handyman work, it is great to stop to warm myself without any long drawn out methods of preparing. Just pour contents into a mug and add a little water and stir into a paste and then add the rest until you have a smooth liquid as thick as you like. I do however feel that it can be improved by adding a bit of extra flavour because ...  Read the complete review

I love soup, especially now it's getting colder. There is something very satisfying about a lovely cup of soup to warm you up on a winters day. I've tried probably every brand of cup a soup going and normally they are really thin and watery and don't really taste anything like they should! Batchelors cup a soup are advertised as 'A Great Big Hug in a Mug' this isn't far from the truth as they are so rich and creamy and bursting with delicious flavours that it is almost as good as a hug! Cup a soups are traditionally sold in boxes containing 5 or 10 sachets of the same flavour. Each sachet contains enough for a standard mug size of cup a soup, ...  Read the complete review

As the evenings begin to draw in, the mornigns get darker, the nights get colder and a chill sets in, I always feel that it has become the season for soup. Much like the hot sun (remember that?) is a signal that it is time to drinking a nice tall glass of Pimms, the first signs of a morning where the grass is laden with dew, where the windows are thick with condensation, where the first moment out of bed sends a shiver of cold down your spine indicate to me that the time is right for some nice warming soup. Both my girlfriend and I are big fans of soup and often make our own using whatever vegetables we have in the fridge along with our flavours and seasoning ...  Read the complete review

Soups are one of my favourite foods (and drinks). I am not that keen on Tea and Coffee so until recently I didn't have many hot drinks in front of the TV. Since trying Batchelors Cup a Soups I have been having one a night ever since. The soup comes in a powdered form. It is packaged in sachets which are then packaged in a cardboard box. You get 5 sachets in a box. The box is simple and easy to open, this is a funny thing to bring up but I often end up tearing boxes to shreds. The preparation of the soup is easy peasy. Set the kettle boiling, tear and empty the sachet into a mug, and water, stir and then wait for it to cool a bit. The sachet is dead ...  Read the complete review
