Any time of year but especially in the winter you cannot beat a bowl of hot soup with a roll or good quality piece of crusty bread. There are fancier and more expensive varieties available but I think Mushroom soup produced by Heinz is sensational and another product has to go a long way to better it in my humble opinion. Everything about this brand says quality even down to the bright red labels with the picture of the delicious soup in a bowl on them.

Currently a 400g tin of this soup is available on the Tesco website priced at 82 pence but you can often find them on promotion or in multi packs where the price per tin is reduced considerably. The tin of course can be recycled and something I really appreciate about the Heinz brand is that a lot of their products have a ring pull on the lid which makes them extremely easy to open especially if you have no tin opener to hand.

Even though some people are content with half I really like to have all the contents of a tin this size and after three or four minutes of heating on the cooker this is a superb lunch or small dinner with your favourite bread or just by itself. The soup is so thick and creamy unlike some cheaper brands and the smell is superb. The colour of the soup is I suppose as you would expect mushroom to be and the small pieces of mushroom are just right, not too big as to be off putting but not too small so you can not notice them whatsoever. Eating this food really is a pleasant experience and really adds to the fine reputation of Heinz being a quality brand.

A great thing is that this contains no artificial colours or preservatives and as a meal choice this would be a good decision as one 400g tin contains 208 calories and 11g of fat which is better than some chocolate bars although that is not taking in to consideration your choice of bread and whether you load it with some kind of butter or spread. This is another food item from Heinz that can form the best part of a good snack or small meal.
