Cuppa Soups

[Robmac]

I've never been a fan of Cuppa Soups.

But the one's produced under Ainsley Harriott's name are actually quite nice. So far I have tried the Minestrone, Thai Chicken and Lemongrass and the Mulligatawny and enjoyed them all.

And that's somebody with a sophistimacated pallette, like what I've got.

I occasionally have those too. I do like the Thai chicken one. And they're not very calorific!

 

[carol]

I think they're usually full of sugar and starch which adds the calories.

And if you’re lucky, that’s all that’s in them!:tongue:

If I'm feeling a bit lazy to cook, I'll boil up some Haricot beans or some split peas and then pour a packet of cuppa soup in to add a bit of flavour. One sachet then last four meals and I have more dosh for beer.

I've used instant veg soup with Smash before now when tent camping. Makes a poor mans Bubble & Squeak, but quite comforting when it's snowing.

One of my favourite things is sitting on top of a mountain making a cuppa-soup.

I know what you mean. A couple of years ago, I had a Beef Stew near the top of Cairngorm in a blizzard.

Good for the soul!

Yes, can also be eaten in motorhome.

 

[Robmac]

Nope. Tried one once, never again.

The only trouble with the Ainsley Harriot range is that they are manufactured by Symingtons and you no longer see their original range of cup soups on sale as much and I was especially fond of the thick pea soup which came with sachets of Worcestershire sauce ��

And before that we had Hot Bovril!

As some one mentioned Symingtons behind the Ainsley Harriet brand ..for me and a touch longer but tasty


A sliced onion or two sweat down , gently until caramalised add a spoonful of demerera suguar to assist, add a decent beef stock in the pot or oxo will do ..meanwhile a baguette par toast
then top with cheese and let melt under the grill..the soup as it reduces down should thicken but can be helped with a bit of cornflour mix .....serve with the bread and cheese an acceptable French onion soup ..whats left over bang in a take away tub and stick in the fridge be ok up to 48 hours later re heat .

comfort food at its best and truth be told pretty much what you get in restaurants including French ones

take the AH Szechuan hot & sour cup soup and add fine egg noodles to required density knocks spots off pot noodles

Again bit more effort than boiling the kettle and a few minutes longer but tasty...well worth the effort

Chicken leg off the bone cheap as chips tastier than breast and no one bothers plumping with water .


skillet ,wok matters not fry off in oil , add garlic and ginger , add chopped chilli to taste 3 chillis pretty mild ...add tomatoes the ones in the whoopsie counter are the best ..let simmer to a sauce.. add freshly chopped coriander and a pinch of garam masala ....serve with chappati 10 seconds on a dry pan each side .. you have a perfect chicken balti !!..no msg no colourings or preservatives pure nutritious food ..play about with the chilli / tomato to your oen taste .. takes minutes to cook ! and tasty
