I agree with this poster. Much as I prefer home made soup getting the time to make it isn't always possible and even if it is its not always practical.
In my old office you daren't take in anything home made to leave in the fridge for lunch as it would disappear long before lunchtime as I learned very quickly in my early days there at the cost of several home made meals and the office was too warm to leave stuff at your desk to have later. Also given I had to take 3 buses to work at that time it also wasn't practical as it had a tendancy to spill and I didn't have a thermos at the time.
Cup a soups at least can be easily flung into a drawer and you don't have to worry about it. If you want soup its quick and easy.
Don't have a favourite brand as such although tend to go for Batchelors especially chicken noodle, although Sainsbury Chicken Noodle Cup a Soup is also very good.
I despise the Ainsley Harriot range of Cup a Soups that are currently available I have had cheaper cup a soups before and this was worse than any of them.
