Heinz Vegetable Soup 400g - 4pack

Heinz soup is a fixture of the British kitchen cupboard. Tomato gets all the attention, but vegetable is the quiet one people stay loyal to for decades without ever making a fuss about it.

Nobody in Canada searches for it because they fancy soup in general. They search because they want that particular tin: the lunchtime at Nan's, the flask on a cold walk, the bowl on a tray in front of the telly. It is a very specific taste of home, and only the British tin will do.

You get four 400g tins. One makes a good bowl for one, or a lighter lunch for two if somebody is being generous with the bread. They sit happily in the cupboard until the weather turns, then go on the hob or into a bowl in the microwave, stirred halfway, as the tin intended.

Heinz soup tends to travel in a basket with other British cupboard staples: a tin of beans for tomorrow, a proper loaf for toast, and a jar of something to spread on it. Soup is rarely the only thing that comes home.
