If you're having a can of soup...

[SoupDragon]

... do you have a whole can or just half?

I've just noticed that a serving is half a can - Surely that isn't enough? I've been over indulging in soup for years!

On this ad they have two sizes of tins.

They also suggest poaching eggs in it.

Full tin of soup unless the toddler is also having soup in which case I have 2/3, half tin of beans.

Whole tin. The only tinned soup we eat is tomato. I make 2 tins for dh, our dd and me. Dd only has a little bit so dh and I probably have 350g each. 200g would not be enough

Full tin and three rounds of buttered bread

Can't believe someone has less than half, that would never fill me

Well, I often have a whole can, but recently realised it has 20 g of sugar in a whole can (I normally have cream of tomato), so have decided to only have 1/2 in future!

I make an exceptional chicken noodle poorly soup.
It's aromat and maggi that makes it special.
I chuck all the vermicelli in so it gets thicker each meal.

Guess what I'll be making today!

I make my own soup but I only inhale the steam

Half here.

3/4s the other quarter goes to 6 year old, if on my own have the whole tin.

Can of beans, can of worms

Beans I eat a whole can, usually straight from the can, cold, with a big spoon.

Worms I have in smaller portions, and can't eat cold. They're OK if you microwave them for a minute though, and put a bit of instant gravy on.

For a meal a whole can,for a starter 1/2.

BTW canning is the process of putting food in airtight containers and then cooking to allow for long storage. Cans were traditionally glass.

Then they began to be made with tin - hence the name.

a whole tin if it is 'runny' tomato or chicken, half if it has beans or pasta
mostly, it's a half a carton of fresh soup with left over veg from last nights dinner chucked in plus extra water if too thick
(and trying to resist toasted sourdough with lashings of butter and a wedge of cheddar to go with it)

My chicken noodle soup was tasteless it was horrible I was to embarrassed to make it again.

I waft a lettuce leaf near the can and eat that. Only on treat days though.

a whole can i have it in my huge friends mug

Whole can if having just the soup. Half if having crusty roll with cheese/croutons/garlic bread/etc.

I put ketchup on my baked beans. DH thinks I'm an animal.

Ah I have this problem - the solution is to buy 2 tins of the same soup and split them over 3 portions. 2/3 of a tin = perfect :)

You're an axe murderer.

the rest of us would have a plate of soup

Can't fit much soup on a plate

Aromat MrsJ near the herbs in a small yellow container.
Just gives it oomph and maggi, near the relish similar bottle.

Before that most of my clear soups were insipid like a stock cube drink.

I have half with a buttered roll or toast. But then I'm one of those people who eats a single square of chocolate. I get bored easily.

If I’m having just soup then the whole tin but if I have a sandwich or something then I’ll have half a tin.

My dh has two cans! I like the smaller cans but will eat one 400g if I have it as can't be bothered to keep it.

Right now I am enjoying whole can of heinz tomato with 2 crumpets, marmite and cheese.
