| Amped up supermarket soup: knock-out flavour and textures |
...and you have to rely on supermarket 'cheats'.
This almost instant soup looks like home-made but it is a clever amalgam of shop bought, with additions from family cupboards.
It makes one tin of soup stretch but with heightened flavours and textures.
And, served along with the sensationally cheap, easy & quick Cheese Muffins , it will satisfy, please and meet the nutritional needs of two hungry people.
