Having just tried to eat a can of cream of celery soup that was accidentally purchased at the grocery store, I now wonder what are the worst soups that have been invented in the history of soup?

Quite possibly I just ate one of them.

I generally don't like soups. I can't help but feel that they're just vegetable bathwater. Or worse.
 
I have soup nearly every lunchtime from a thermos flask I love Aldi own brand roast chicken and mushroom (twice this week already) veg etc but I can't think why anyone would eat oxtail soup or broccoli and stilton, the smell alone :eek: how would you know if it was off? oh and Heinz tomato soup with it's aftertaste that lasts a lifetime.:(

back in teh 60's/70's My gran had some tins that had been wet and the labels had come off it was pick a meal sometimes soup sometimes custard sometimes creamed rice pudding. it was worth opening them for the laugh.
 
I have always thought of you with fondness, David, but to suggest any culinary use for Brussels sprouts is unspeakable behaviour. Shame on you!!;)
 
Incidentally, I would suggest for any future purposes that it might be better to throw away the celery soup and attempt to eat the can.
 
....worst soup....

Jerusalem Artichoke soup. Quite pleasant to eat, but produces quite painful gassy effect afterwards. A soup for lying down and avoiding.
 
David if you want to send me your celery soup I'd gladly eat it as I love it, but each to their own I guess. As a vegetarian I cant get my head around oxtail soup.
 
How do you accidentally purchase celery soup? You either purchase it or don’t purchase it, there is no accidental...

Dean, don’t diss the Heinz tomato soup its legendary amongst soups.
IanR, don’t knock sprouts they are fantastic little characters
CambVet, Carrot soup is pointless unless you want to see in the dark or feed sick baby rabbits.

The worst soup is mushroom soup. I like mushrooms but mushroom soup reminds me of a bad memory, I has just finished a 5 mile walkout on the railway, (as we do when planning jobs). It was a red hot day and after walking from one station to the next I was looking forwards to getting a drink at the station vending machine....guess what the only option was on a red hot day.......

Cullen Skink, now there is a soup worth eating, talking about and promoting, an exquisite dish with hot crusty bread.

Agreed but that is only as the aftertaste lasts a lifetime.:p

No i love cream of Mushroom soup Aldi does nice one, they do a nice tomato and red pepper too which if you dice up smoked bacon and add it before heating is wonderful (sorry chizlit):o
FB bird i'm pleased you told us about the Artichoke soup one of my clients has loads of them and I can only find a soup recipe for them i won't bother now just admire the 6foot plus wonderfull yellow headed plants.
 
....worst soup...

There are two uses for Jerusalem artichokes. Apparently they make a good game cover crop, and can be used for clearing land. you do this but putting pigs in the artichoke field, which eat the tops and then grub out the tubers & eat them, manuring the ground as they turn it over.
Broccoli and Stilton soup is excellent.
 
I quite like soups. I don't think that I have had a bad one yet. Today at the supermarket I bought: vegetable soup, lamb and vegetable soup, lentil and pumpkin soup, and maybe corn soup was the fourth one.

Thanks for that FFBird another use is as a windbreak, we are going to move them out onto the new veg patch which is rather exposed so it should help to keep the area a bit warmer and hopefully they won't grow so tall,
They don't use the as game cover on any of the Farms/gardens I maintain, they use a lot of maize, millet and leaf crops, I think they would get a bit tall for cover, and be dug/eaten up by rabbits or badgers.
they tried sunflowers once and the rabbits took virtually every one.
 
What about birds nest soup. An Asian soup made from the nests of a swallow I think. They knock the nests down and collect them for soup. The nests though are made from the birds saliva so it should be called bird spit soup.
 
What is the worst soup?

Getting serious for a moment, Shark's Fin Soup has to be the most environmentally damaging.
Then of course there is Three Penis Wine, which is not a soup, but doesn't do the contributors any favours either.
 
Soups like Cream of Celery and Cream of Mushroom are for the most part intended to be used in recipes as opposed to eaten on their own as stand alone soups.At least that's how I generally use both.

I usually don't have soup. The best I've had was some vegetable soup made in a Vitamix and the butternut squash soup my mom makes on ocassion. The worst I had was the Soup I had in high school.
