Tinned Soup

[itsybitsy]

This might just be me, but...has anyone else noticed that tinned soup can taste - tinny? I opened a tin of lentil soup today and there's a definite tang. I'm wondering if I need to switch to jars - they are more expensive but I'm starting to think that the tinned variety is a bit of a false economy as I can't eat it.

Lentil soup was my favourite from when I was a student, before then, and still now. Though I do like mushroom. I always buy Heinz at 5 for £5 at Sainsbury's. I've not noticed any tinnyness to the taste. Normal price is £1.70, no way would I pay that. Mushroom I buy Sainsbury's own brand, but their lentil isn't as good. The one drawback with Heinz lentil is is does have a bit of a high salt content, but I don't eat loads.

Did you notice if the tin was lined with white plastic?
I've had unlined tins where the metal has gone grey like cast iron. Indeed I've had tomato soup and spuds actually rust right through (BBE 2018). I can't tell you what they tasted of

Soup maker.

Tin of tomatoes, stock cube, herbs or spices to your choice, a real tomato and water.

I add either chorizo or pancetta but that’s me.

Infinitely better than anything Baxter’s can do! I control the ingredients, no salt or sugar added.

Pea and ham is also optional
