Re: Your favourite 'tinned' soup

Chicken soup imo is best home made by boiling up a left over carcass from the Sunday roast with chef’s base, a bouquet garni from the garden (if you have one) and a couple of whole garlic cloves (skin left on). Add orzo 20mins from the end and a bit of tarragon. Don’t really like tinned chicken soup.

Heinz Pea ‘n Ham is excellent.
Another shout for pea and ham but Baxter’s is by far the best. Very difficult to get hold of in Burnley but managed to get some from Spar on Padiham Rd.

Heinz oxtail is excellent poured over chips. Makes the best chip butties. Now there is a childhood memory.
