    I'd thoroughly recommend Cully and Sully's Creamy Tomato and Basil soup.

    Blows Heinz out of the water.

    Heinz tomato soup with shit loads of black pepper.

    Crusty roll with strong Cathedral City spreadable cheese in for dippage.

    I think its gone downhill over the last few years, probably had to change the levels of salt and sugar

    Love the stuff, as far as it not tasting like tomatoes, I found that soup made with tomatoes grown in our garden did taste similar.

    Never been a fan, far too sweet
    Baxter's Cullen Skink (smoked haddock & potato) is thick, luxurious and delicious.  Only needs thickly cut fresh bread heavily slathered in real butter.
    Batchelor's broccoli and cauliflower, sounds like it ought to be ming but is a veritable flavour explosion
    French onion soup freshly made in France, barely qualifies as 'soup' cos it's not really a liquid, a dish onion stewed in gravy, oh my goodness, the joy.  Impossible to share accommodation with anyone for 48 hours afterwards tho.

    Heinz are profiteering, even the boss of Tesco said so & refused to stock certain Heinz items last year.

    I like Heinz Cream of Tomato but wouldn’t pay that price for effectively a cup of soup. Having said that I’ve never thought it tasted anything like any tomato I’ve eaten.

    Yeah I agree- how can a non branded generic tomato soup cost 50p with broadly the same ingredients and manufacturing processes? Its a complete scam.

    Wow. Not bought Heinz for years, switched to supermarket brands. Morrisons tins are 85p, though I’m sure that’s more than doubled in just a couple of years

    Since a kid, when I’m unwell I always reach for Tommy soup. Even better if you put a chopped Carolina Reaper in with it.

    Re tomatoes from supermarkets these days… most taste of nothing… if you grow your own the difference is huge.

    £1.70 a tin, and about £5 in energy costs to warm it up

    Love it with a kick of chilli, but agree too expensive for what it is.

    I wasn't particularly on the hunt for it just picked it as quick snack without looking at the price and was shocked

    80p for Heinz Soup this time last year.  They've been one of the worst company's for price gouging over recent months (along with some pet food ones)

    Beans 60p to £1.40
    Soup 80p to £1.70
    Ketchup £2 to £3.40
    Ravioli/Beans & Sausages £1.20 to £2

    More people will just switch to supermarket own-brand alternatives for a fraction of the price.

    Yep. Used Heinz all my life. But the other day in the supermarket, I was faced with this comparison. 



    That price difference is absurd. I'm now a Sainsbury's ketchup man.

    I love all of the heinz soups but have stopped buying them nowadays at that price. Been having Bramwells which isn't too bad an alternative.

    2 x 6 multipacks for £10 in Iceland. If you are a pensioner, show your bus pass on a Tuesday and get  10% off making it 75p a tin.

    Surely then it should be called 'creamed' not 'cream of.'
