Chicken & Vegetable Cup a Soup


I first started having Chicken & Vegetable Cup a Soups back in 1985.  I used to go my Nan's house during weekday lunchtimes throughout my senior school days and each day she would have a mug out ready for me with one these Cup a Soup sachets and a few slices of white bread. 


I loved them because they were quick to make, decent tasting and quite filling with the provided sliced bread.  I remember I used to roll up each slice of bread and dunk them into the mug fishing out the tasty croutons.


Once I'd eaten the soup soaked bread usually the soup was cool enough to finish off with a spoon.  Sometimes as I'd get to the bottom of the cup I would find some undissolved soup powder which would provide one final kick of Chicken and Vegetable flavour.

My Nan would sometimes go out of her way to ensure she had a stockpile of these soups for me so that I never went short and for that I will always be eternally grateful.

Nowadays whenever I have one of these Cup a Soups I pause for a moment to remember my Nan and all the good times I had spent with her during my childhood.
