Cup a Soup Chronicles I (12.02.21)
Batchelor’s Chicken Noodle – ASDA 75p for four sachets
There haven’t been many scones in my life over the last twelve months, but as I was sitting at work drinking Cup a Soup last week, I thought “I know what I can do”. So here I am, doing it.
Cup a Soup
I’ve been meaning to ty the Chicken Noodle for a few weeks but ASDA have been unable to supply it. I don’t know why, it’s not that good that people will be stocking up with it.
My first thought was that it looked like washing up water after a hard day cooking – a little grey with a sheen of grease. My second thought was that it tasted a bit like washing up water too. As I got to the bottom I found that despite energetic stirring at the beginning, a lot of it had settled back in the bottom of the mug, particularly the noodles. I wondered where they had got to – they had seemed a bit sparse. Be warned at this point, do not scoop out the noodles and eat them, when they are semi-dissolved and eaten in bulk they resemble wallpaper paste.
My second cup, taken later in the day, was a better experience. I stirred it several times whilst drinking it and the colour, flavour and noodle distribution were all greatly improved. The main problem, once that was solved, was that two of these soups provided me with 50% of my daily salt ration. That’s not good.
For 75p it’s not expensive and as long as you stir several times whilst drinking, the taste and noodle issue is solved.
look at all that salt!

The mug looks better than the soup 🙂
True. The soup, when stirred constantly, isn’t too bad, but does, it is true, resemble dishwater when left to its own devices. We have a range of mugs inn the shop, many with a collecting theme. 🙂
You are missing your vocation, you would make a great product tester!
