Nicest and worst "standard" flavour soup?

89 replies

00100001 · 27/12/2022 16:29

Eg.

Tomato, cream of chicken, mushroom, vegetable etc

So in general 'one' main ingredient.

I'm not interested in your fancy schmancy curried butternut and red pepper soups or your lobster bisques ;)

Best: tomato
Worst: mushroom

  2. Curried Lentil
LadyMonicaBaddingham · 27/12/2022 16:46

Worst: Mushroom. I love mushrooms, but mushroom soup always has a slimy edge that I can't ignore..

ScoobyDoNot · 27/12/2022 16:46

Best - Lentil & bacon
Worst - mushroom (or chicken 🤮)

NeverHadANickname · 27/12/2022 16:47

Going against the grain, cream of mushroom is my favorite, especially when I am sick. Worst, I'm not sure. Leek and potato maybe or tomato, I have to really be in the mood for tomato.

Hohofortherobbers · 27/12/2022 16:48

I like a spicy parsnip.... Too posh for you? Don't like broccoli and Stilton

ZuckerwatterMaus · 27/12/2022 16:50

Worst-Mulligatawny/Oxtail/Beef Consommé

Only tinned soup worth having is Heinz tomato - the rest are awful, too gloopy.
Homemade mushroom with a bit of garlic is lovely as is minestrone, or anything with lentils in.

RewildingAmbridge · 27/12/2022 17:01

Best mulligatawny or oxtail
Worst chicken and sweetcorn or any of those slimy heinz 'big soups'

RewildingAmbridge · 27/12/2022 17:02

Homemade soups infinitely better than tinned, but I do keep a few tins at work for emergency lunches

bobisbored · 27/12/2022 17:03

Oxtail is the best! I always have it when I'm not feeling well.
Worst cream of chicken 🤢

OldTinHat · 27/12/2022 17:06

I had sweet potato and chipotle yesterday. It's knocked my favourite leek and potato well out of the soup bowl.

OldTinHat · 27/12/2022 17:07

Oh, yeah, worst, beef/oxtail. Bleurgh.

HowForNow · 27/12/2022 17:07

Best minestrone, worst mushroom. I've just made a broccoli and cheese with leftover cheeseboard Red Leicester and Wensleydale. It's lovely. I also like soups with stuff in though, like rice or pasta.
