Heinz BIG SOUP

Re: Heinz BIG SOUP

I loved Big Soups in the 80s, but it really doesn't taste the same these days.
My favourite was straight up Heinz beef soup, but that disappeared a few years back, around the time of a BSE scare i believe.

Re: Heinz BIG SOUP

I can remember the Big Soups being really good when they first appeared with lots of meat and flavour.But tried one last year and did not think much of it.Most of the good stuff was gone replaced by carrot which appeared to be the main ingrediant and taste.I hate carrots.blah!

Re: Heinz BIG SOUP

I hate big soups. Whenever I went around to my Grans she'd give me a big soup. It wasn't really the fact that is had veg in as the fact that it had peas in. I hate peas, eating them makes me feel ill. There's so much of it too. I much prefer the tomato or chicken. I used to like oxtail heinz soups but they are rank now, basically just water beef flavour. The only soup they managed to keep 100% as it was is mulligatawny.

Re: Heinz BIG SOUP

I've always been partial to a big soup in an emergency but I'm not keen on tinned soups in general, especially Heinz. They seem too bland and all have that strange gloopy consistency that is neither one thing or another. I prefer to make my own soups.

Remember these? They still taste rank...and the chunks are smaller...for a long can they fill it with that weird sauce these days as opposed to bits of veg and meat...I mistakenly bought one a while back as Heinz do a range called 'BIG SOUP' in microwaveable containers...same colours as the BIG SOUP cans labelling as well. The microwaveable range used to be known as 'TASTE OF HOME', and they are really lush, still are barring the name change. The Beef Stew with Dumplings is the best with bits of fresh cut crusty white bread and butter or margarine...yum. I bought the can thinking the microwaveable version was inside it as well...wrong. I added some 'Delish' Barbados Hot Pepper Sauce, my neighbour Dom gives it to me, cannot get it over here unless from a West Indian shop...

Funny how a microwaveable comestible made in Germany tastes better than the canned rubbish Heinz churn out. Thankfully, their cream of tomato soup still tastes good.
