Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup with a Hint of Basil I love Heinz tomato soup and I do enjoy other brands but I still always prefer this yummy classic the best. Last time we went shopping the hubby accidentally picked up this tomato soup with a hint of basil. The packaging is very similar and it's not really that hard to understand why he made the mistake of confusing the two. The first I noticed that I had a different soup was when I opened it and thought that it had gone bad, very bad. There were lots of unappetising black bits in it!

Now that the clocks have gone back and the nights are drawing in, there's nothing better than a bowl of soup to beat the winter blues, with some thick, chunky bread for mopping up of course! My Favourite soup is Heinz Cream of Tomato soup and we usually have it with a little fresh basil on top to give it that little bit of extra flavour. Mmmmm When I saw this Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup with a Hint of Basil on the shelves at my local Sainsbury's I thought we should give it a go, not that it's hard to add some basil ourselves! It says on the tin that this is a Limited Edition flavour and I guess that this means that it ...  Read the complete review
