I recently volunteered to help Nuffnang do a review for Heinz who has just launched a line of handy squeeze soup packs. In return for this product talk by Nuffnang, I have received free soup and such. Anyone keen can be part of this too. Just visit this link here. While there was not requirement to post this, I decided to do this because the product was actually pretty decent. The product I received this time was Heinz’s Squeeze and Stir instant soup. It actually just reached me last Friday and in the box, I had 2 sachets and a mug with a soup spoon! All that you would need to make it work, really.
Sunday saw a massive storm tormenting the state and this could not have come in any more handy. With trees falling, going out for lunch during the storm is definitely not a choice. So for my morning lunch, I had the soup. The overall taste is pretty damn close to a quality tomato soup. It was salty, sweet and hmm pretty yums actually.
Unfortunately though, the only thing that was less than satisfactory is the consistency of the soup. A typical tomato soup for me has to be thick but this felt nowhere near thick. Also, you do not get much tomato bites pieces. Nonetheless, you do get small pieces of herbs and onions which were pretty decent. I guess it is hard to complain when you are dealing with instant food.
Over all, I am thankful to be included by Nuffnang for their product talk! While this soup did not have all the qualities of a homemade one, this one was pretty damn good for one of a packet. There was the ripeness of the tomato, saltiness was not overboard and this all made it fairly good.
