Wherever you are, one and all, welcome!
What better to warm the cockles of your particulars, in the cold of winter, than with a warm soup? And dare I say it; an instant soup you made with the kettle?
"Quoi? Quel horreur!! Are you seriously recommending we now eat from packets? This is the thin end of the wedge..." I can hear you thinking.
Well, be prepared for a shock. I rarely do this, and this is not a paid endorsement, but can I direct your feet to the Asian section of your average suburban supermarket?

I found myself at the supré the other day, looking for vegetarian packet soups for the office. You know the sort, Maggi™ or whatever (actually "Continental™ Cuppa-Soups™"), and they were having a special; two packs of soup for three dollars.
I grabbed some, but my curiosity was piqued. Perhaps I could pick up some miso paste in the next aisle for a more gourmet experience?
Imagine my surprise on finding these freeze dried packet soups from Japan – where they made a miso soup (one with mushrooms and seaweed, the other with tofu and seaweed) – and simply freeze dried it... selling at less price than an MSG, two minute Cuppa-Soup with chicken and corn and croutons that was all totally fake.
I'm talking real food, as opposed to super fake empty calories, for less! Unbelievable. I rate it six and a half tentacles out of eight!!
Packet tip: "Add rice, more tasty!"
