On the tin it specifically says NOT TO BOIL. Is it safe to eat?? Will the flavour be ruined?? Please please help I love my Heinz tomato soup

Confused it'll be fine.

If you don't boil it, it's never hot enough.

EatsFartsAndLeaves · 15/02/2019 22:05

Doesn't it just say that boiling will impair the flavour? It's fine to eat if it tastes OK.

It'll be fine!

MountainPeakGeek · 15/02/2019 22:07

Won't do you any harm at all - might taste slightly different.

Haffdonga · 15/02/2019 22:09

Is this supposed to be funny?

Hubblebubbletripletrouble · 15/02/2019 22:10

I always boil soup, didn't know it was a thing not to. I like the extra thick bits round the edges from boiling.

YouBumder · 15/02/2019 22:12

Jesus I thought that this was going to be that you’d Fed the baby boiling soup!

It’ll be fine. It’s just soup!

Heinz tomato soup? Honestly don’t know what the issue isConfused
I always boil it so it’s nice and hot

Wakk · 15/02/2019 22:14

It's half term.

AppleKatie · 15/02/2019 22:15

I’m intrigued what did you think would happen to you? Poisoned by boiling?

You can’t get the middle hot enough without boiling the edges imo.

thesnapandfartisinfallible · 15/02/2019 22:21

I've never read the cans. I always boil it. Otherwise by the time you've got your bread and poured it into a bowl and faffed about, it would be cold.

Crockof · 15/02/2019 22:28

Honestly me and dh have a domestic about this all the time. He says DO NOT Boil I say it's too fricking cold of you don't.

Perty01234 · 15/02/2019 22:34

When I intially read this I pictured a can of soup ( as in the soup still in the can) in boiling water...... and you wondering if you could eat the soup out of the can?!

travellinglighter · 15/02/2019 22:38

You do know that the raw ingredients are mixed, processed and then sealed in the can and then cooked, don’t you?

Nicknacky · 15/02/2019 22:38

What did you think would happen if it was boiled?

TheBitchOfTheVicar · 15/02/2019 22:38

I thought you meant the can, whole.

starzig · 15/02/2019 22:41

I think OP is just taking the P about the fact it says do not boil.

Theimpossiblegirl · 15/02/2019 22:49

I think it's poisonous of you boil it. A bit like that fish, if you prepare it correctly it's a delicacy, get it wrong and it's deadly!

Yes poisonous!! Updates tomorrow... fingers crossed I'm still here to post

RockingMyFiftiesNot · 15/02/2019 23:02

No it's not poisonous FFS, taste might be slightly 'impaired' but I've boiled more Heinz tomato than I care to remember as a) didn't ever notice the difference taste wise and b) am still here to tell the tale (check out my MNname) !!!

ILikeyourHairyHands · 15/02/2019 23:14

Yes. Eating boiled tomato soup carries a 100% mortality rate. Sorry about that OP.
