cyberfarang Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I went shopping in the Rimping supermarket at the Kad Farang, Hang Dong yesterday and to my surprise they stocked cans of Heinz tomato soup. The first time I have ever seen Heinz tomato soup sold in Thailand. They are medium size cans imported from Australia, condensed, called Big Red and cost 135 baht (same as pictured below) Thought; no matter how much they cost, I must try one. Have not tried the soup yet and will report back with my opinion when I do. Hoping they taste the same as the kind I used to buy in England. This branch of Rimping only had 6 cans on the shelve and do not know if other branches of Rimping have these soups in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Even longer than that, WG. I bought some a few years ago in Tops in the familiar red and white label can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonray Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Easier to make your own, shortcut: Buy Plain Tomato Juice, season to taste, add some plum tomatoes, cook down for about 10 minutes and much healthier (usually less sodium) and better tasting.

ukrules Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 I prefer one of these, the cream of tomato variety : They were hard to find years ago but they're widely available now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THAIPHUKET Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm a soup lover. But without creamer. Pure vegetables in good broth. Goulash soup.Any chances here in CM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 So yesterday I took the plunge and decided to open my can of Heinz tomato soup and sample the delights of a soup I have not tasted for many years. My opinion: I was disappointed. Nothing like the original I used to love in England. This Big Red Australian brand had no consistency even through I used less water than recommended to make the soup thicker. It was weak plus also very sweet. Seems they added a lot of sugar or sweetener to substitute for the lack of ingredients. It had a watery syrupy type of texture, dark red colour, not like the bright orange colour of the original. Was it good value for 135 baht. No. It`s a poor man`s version using the name of Heinz and I will not be buying any more of that weak excuse for a Heinz tomato soup.

canthai55 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Most canned products are crap. Buy real tomatoes, pop in blender, heat, season to taste. Delicious, healthy, no additives. Edited May 14, 2017 by canthai55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
