For me, chicken and vegetable soup suggests a chunky broth, rather than a creamy puree, but both types are represented here and have their merits in the comfort department – though, personally, having been reminded how much I like the stuff, I’m now more inclined to make my own.
A bit flat – more like underseasoned vegetable stock than chicken, which is a shame, given that the meat came all the way from Thailand to end up in this faintly disappointing soup.
I’d describe this more as a potato soup with pieces of chicken, which is no bad thing – I love a starchy spud soup.
Felicity Cloake tries out supermarket takes on chilled, ready-made chicken and vegetable soup.
What with that, the small pieces of vegetable and the murky rags of kale (leafy greens don’t really lend themselves to being reheated), it’s not very exciting to look at or eat; more like vegetable cooking water than stock.
