M&S .....total rip off. Make your own. Takes no time, tastes better and costs peanuts.
I'm a particular lover of soup - I lived on the stuff for about a year! Clock is right, Heinz tomato is dreadfully sweet and should be cut with a tin of tomatoes.
Tinned soup is horrible and the poster who said making your own is the way to go, KNOWS.

Mrs C often makes home made soup - I'm trying to help the lonely males that inhabit this domain with quality alternatives.
Home grown and home made artichoke soup coming up later on this week. This is my no 1 favourite oup ever.
I make my own butternut squash or pumpkin soup all the time.
It's great.

This very simple soup is delicious and always popular. It tastes so rich and creamy our guests are always surprised when we tell them the recipe.
Red lentil and vegetabe soup
1 medium onion - finely chopped
1 carrot - finely chopped
a little veg oil
3 pints of veg stock (we use Marigold Bouillon)
a couple of bay leaves
7oz red lentils
that's it!
Sweat the onions and carrots in the oil until the onions are translucent but not browning. Add lentils and toss them round for a minute to coat them in the oil. Then add the hot stock and bay leaves. Bring to boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes. Take out the bay leaves and then blend.

so long as you can peel and chop then anyonecan make a brilliant soup which is invariably healthy and cheap (and tasty)
Put some bacon in that Lentil Soup and it will taste so much better.
Probably true, oval, but my wife's a veggie. ;)
I hate it too when my wife goes off meat for a while :0
I was overgrown with Leeks a few months ago, C0ck-a-Leekie and Potato and Leek are two of my favs.

I can't stand leeks. But put them in a soup and they are lovely.

asparagus soup is cracking and my speciality.
Get the muddy woody bits and boil to make a stock. Chop the spears off and reserve. fry some onions in butter and a bit of garlic and thenadd the asparagus (that isn't woody or a spear, chopped into one inch pieces) fry for 5 minutes then add the strained stock. cook for about 25 mins simmering, then blend it all and return to the pan and add the reserved spears. cook for mins the spears will be lovely and just a bit crunchy. Can add cream if you want.

Why thank you Tommy. I do like cooking, always have done.
