Heinz
Farmers Market Soups

 

If like me you love your food and even when out on the bank you like your food to be of a very good quality, UKMA have found a little something that you should seriously consider adding to your shopping list the next time your planning an overnighter or longer session. Global food giants Heinz have released a range of soups that go by the name of “Farmers Market”.

They offer the angler a fast convenient food source that is nutritional, flavoursome and filling. From opening the can, they can be made ready to eat in less than 7 minutes. All you have to do is use ring pull on the lid (no tin opener required) pour the contents into the pan, and simmer until the soup reaches the required temperature but don’t over-heat or boil whilst heating as this will tarnish the soups flavour.

There are currently eight (8) flavours available in the Heinz Farmers Market soup range offering a flavour to suit event the most discerning of pallet. You have Broccoli + Stilton Cheese, Carrot & Coriander soup with Crème Fraiche, Chicken & country Vegetable soup, Potato, Leak & Thyme soup and Slow Cooked Lamb with Vegetable soup which all sound gorgeous but UKMA have as yet not given them a try to date.

 

 

The three (3) flavours we have tried and absolutely adore from the Farmers Market Range are as follows;

 

Creamy Mushroom Soup

Full of chunky pieces of mushroom that have been blended with fresh dairy cream to create a simple and tasty soup. This Vegetarian friendly soup is also free from artificial colours, artificial flavours and artificial preservatives.

Three Bean + Smoked Bacon Soup

This is my personal favourite from the Farmers Market range of soups simply because it can satisfy even the biggest of appetites. Heinz have combined the distinctive flavour of smoked bacon with a three bean medley of red kidney, haricot and borlotti beans. Ripe tomatoes, red peppers & spring vegetables add a depth of flavour to this complete meal in a tin. The stand out Brucie bonus is that this soup contains no artificial colours or flavours and is also low in fat.

Final Thoughts

Heinz has come up trumps with this superb range of soups that offer a big meal in a tin that can be made ready to eat in a mater of a few minutes. Easy to prepare and even more enjoyable to eat, you have a hearty evening meal that wont set you back a fortune.

TOP TIP: By simply adding some seasoning (salt and pepper) this really brings the flavour of the soup to life and is the perfect finishing touch that I as a food consumer of the highest order highly recommend.

There are 515g of Farmers Market soup in each tin and they sell from £1.00 up to £1.14 per tin, dependant on where you do your shopping.
