I bought these instant soup containers, all you do is add water, and microwaev (or use boiling water). I grabbed a few as I wasnt sure how they would taste. They were 0.68 cents each and a big container to be honest. I grabbed two flavours, and planning the next time I go shopping to stock up on these. Have you bought or saw spomething you thought wouldnt be that good and it turned out to be.

I also like some of the instant soups....they are so convient to have on hand! I have bought a few things....well for the most part they aren't what I expected. On the other hand like you said some turn out to be good.

I agree, sometimes its trial and error with some foods. I like to have them on hand in case I dont feel like going shopping or cant afford it.

I felt the same way with instant soups, too. I thought they would taste really powedery or fake, but... hmmm... I love them! I've tastes the cheese, the French onion, the cheese-mushroom and the tomato flavours, and they are really tasty! :)

Ive never tried french onion, I love french onion soup. Some you think how they will taste so horrible, but they turn out reallly delicious.

I've used some different kinds of instant soups. Some were good and some not so good. I like the cream soups best, I think, but I've bought several that I didn't like at all. The one thing I get that makes me mad every time is melons in the summer. It's so hard to tell which ones are the ripest and it's frustrating to cut in to one and it tastes like wet cardboard.

we bought some multi grain bread that had seeds in it and it turned out to be quite good although it wasn't the exact bread i was looking for. i was looking for bread that has sunflower seeds in it but this was a fairly close second but just as tasty.

I got some instant beet soup from a Polish deli, that I quite like. Saves me the trouble of making it myself.

I tried making beet soup once, was veery salty (ended up throwing it out). It does save money and time. I grabbed a few for work, or those days I dont feel like cooking.

Some of those instant soups are ok but there is some that I don't like. I used to buy those to have for my lunches at work because it was quick and easy. Now I just buy the weight watchers meals because their cheap and just warm them up in the microwave. I always pack my lunch for work because it's way to expensive to buy in our cafeteria.

They are filling and healthy food so I am okay with them.;

Instant soups can be quite good. I only tend to buy the cheap value ones from the shop and then jazz then up with some cheap value noodles. I brought some cheap value mince pies and they were yummy, actually better than the brand named ones and they were an awful lot cheaper as well. So everyone was happy

I always have soup on our meal. So when I can't cook soup, I use instant noodles instead. But, instant products are not healthy so I don't use it always. I don't usually buy foods that I don't know the taste. I have a sensitive taste, that is why.

Instant soups not bad if it is taken occasionally , it can save you from being hungry and can save time but if it is taken frequently , it is already a risk to health because of the preservatives and some components.

I got those a few times when I was in college. They were tastier than I would have thought, but I tried to limit them because of the high sodium content. Every now and then, they are great--especially when I am in a hurry!

Before we always eat instant food however when someone told us that some instant foods can cause cancer, we refrain from eating them. Maybe one can eat it at times but not everyday. Just a suggestion. Have a nice day!

yes, that's instant as in. Good for you have discovered something. Hmmm yes but also food, like an ice cream. who would think that papaya ice cream is not delicious. Well for your information it is indeed a delicious one. yepeeee... i don't know what makes it delicious, maybe the milk, since it used coconut milk. yes, so yummy that it lingers in the mouth. (good blending i guess). Fantastic Papaya Ice Cream. Want some more.. i want some more.

soups are very much good for our health. any kind of soup is good for our body. although i like the chicken soup very much as it is very tasty and delicious, if prepared properly. it contains all kinds of proteins and vitamins as well as food value which our body requires. Soups should be consumed by us everyday.
