making soup - simple ingrediants - found some S@@t in it?

Surely one crumbles a stock cube between one's fingers into a bowl, and the add boiling water whilst stirring.
Putting in a whole cube and then 'mashing' it with a fork is just ludicrous .

I agree with facts.

Add 2 teaspoons of salt for similar effect.

anyone who mashes a stock cube with a fork clearly has psychological issues

Indeed.

I use OXO vegetable cubes in my soup, ingredients are..

Salt, Potato Starch, Wheat Flour (with added Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Flavour Enhancers (Monosodium Glutamate, Disodium 5’-ribonucleotides), Flavourings (contain Celery), Palm Oil, Dried Glucose Syrup, Yeast Extract (contains Barley), Dried Tomato, Dried Herbs (Parsley, Thyme, Bay), Sugar.

only oxo crumbles - can see everyone here with a can of special
brew and a pasty from greggs in their hand? make a meal?

You don't need stock cubes.  I make soup from practically anything, with the aid of meat juices and milk.

I save any juices after cooking meat and juices from cooking veg.  Then any leftover veg gets cooked with these and herbs and spices and then liquidised and then milk and salt and pepper added. Yum, yum.

Obviously, that is an abbreviated version of what I do, but it does work.

I cannot remember the last time I bought a stock cube, if ever, and I really love home made soup.

vegetable stock cube - going back to Tesco - they don't mess with your head.
Soya Protein? FFS - is that needed. It's in everything now and people are allergic to it.

Adding a beef stock cube to mince and bolognase sauce is tasty.

Knorrs stock pots are great.

Brown rice Miso is very tasty. Japanese fermented soya so will not lead to more question marks from Zorro.

As long as it's fermented.

eat raw plantain and you suffer.

some foots need to be treated before ingesting.

Try it in your soup Zorro, you will be pleasantly surprised. I often have a spoonful in hot water as a late night caffeine free drink.

The best part of soup that helps heal the gut is the stock that you put into it. To get proper stock you need to boil a chicken carcass or animal bones 10+ hours to get the collagen from it. Otherwise it is no healthier than boiling some veggies and eating a bit of chicken. You took the healthiest element in soup and substituted it with some piece of cr8p that you bought from a supermarket. As well as this having cited major issues with gluten and soya you didn't even check the ingredients of the aforementioned cr8p you bought. Then you bemoan the forum for being lazy and buying junk food and not being prepared to make a proper meal.

I don't suppose you or anyone else here can spot any form of irony going on.
