Yes, I drink it quite a bit. Sainsbury's do a tub for about £1.20. It's called marigold, swiss vegetable bouillon. its nice and makes about 8 litres

The normal one is quite salty so try the vegan version (orange tub) for a bit less salt.

Another good one is just dissolve marmite/vegamite in hot water.

I got a low salt version recently from the healthy food section of Sainsbury

I'll have try that, as my only complaint was that it was a little salty

I like Bovril and chicken oxo cubes, conveniently small too!

Make your own, its not hard to make soup.

I agree, I love soup. However, I have never been able to master the nack of getting it into those little papers

Get some dried noodles from Aldi (they’re only 15p a pack). Cut them in to 4 (cut in half and then separate the two layers inside the pack). That will give you enough for 4 mugs, put in a mug and add boiling hot water and leave for five minutes. Knor vegetable stock cubes cut in half, adds flavour. That and a slice of homemade bread to dunk is more than filling enough lunch.

There's only around 130 calories in a standard cup a soup if I remember right? In one of Chris Townsend's books, he said he needed two cup a soups with added butter or marg to make it a worthwhile food, so if your on a diet, one on its own should be fine

Oxos come in various flavours these days.

We used to have it with some bread when camping as kids and I made a place for one in my survival kit tin.

You should try Miso soup - Japanese traditional soup made from seaweed e.g.

A few supermarkets such as Waitrose have it and you can make your own!

Miso soup is the dogs danglies, but like some have already said, why not make your own soup?

Onions, carrots, celery, whatever other veg and herbs you fancy - salt, pepper, add water and boil boil boil. If you want to have a smooth texture, chuck it in a blender and whizz it all up...

It's not 'veg stock' though. Not sure (as he doesn't say) but the original poster might be vegetarian.

Miso soup is fantastic. I had it often when I was in Japan and often take it with me, or have it at home.
