It is one of those things that i have wanted to try for such a long time but i have always been apprehensive about. How can something be nice and yet only have 10 calories? It just doesn't compute.
However, on a recent trip to Mozzas, i decided i would pop my cherry, bite the bullet and not knock it until i had tried it. Well, i am aware that i have a rather suspicious nature and so, in true twat style, i decided to read the ingredients over and over whilst stood next to a vast array of different cup-a-soups. You have the cheap methylated spirit variety, done by Mozza's and one of the things i would never touch with a barge pole. Then, you have the general, run-of-the-mill Slim-a-soup Bachelors shit. And then you have the posh crap that you wouldn't even entertain spending your well earned £1.64 on when you can get a BOGOF deal for 42p.
Hang on, what are these then? BOGOF 10 calorie soups? 42 pence, you say? What flavours ya got?
Chicken. Onion or Tomato.
I decide that my choice will be onion and tomato. However, i am suddenly drawn in by a little image:

CHICKEN SOUP? Suitable for vegetarians? Just another reason why this stuff is probably full of fat and various other modified shit and should not be touched with a long, pointed spear, let alone a nice, curved spoon.
Well, i read the ingredients on the side and saw that the first ingredient on the list was salt. Ahh. Salt. My old friend. He never lets me down. Well, that is my potassium sorted, what else you got? A load of shit that i don't care about. As long as i don't see anything meat related or that is going to make me think FAT FAT FAT
I checked all of the nutritional information and, sure enough, ten calories, no fat. nothing. Cool.
Since then, it has been waiting to be used. It has been stood inside my cereal-come-every-condiment-ever cupboard.
however, today i was hungry and decided i felt brave so i was going to give these bad boys a spin.
Although, whilst mixing it in the pyrex jug and making sure i had the anally exact amount of boiling water in there, it looked like weak piss, when i poured it into my nice, dark mug it did look a bit nicer. All be it not 'appetising', i wasn't ready to write this off just yet.
So i got my spoon and retired to the bedroom. I left it for a few minutes until i was sure it wasnt going to set my taste buds on fire and then i took a deep breath and i tasted it.
Hang on, this smells good and it doesn't taste too shabby neither. How strange.
I liked it.
I really like it.
And i have already worked out that it is going to take at least 200 sachets a day to get up to my recommended daily allowance of calories. Wonderful. That makes me feel nice and safe.
I still have the option of trying a tomato one but i don't want to go too crazy on this, my first day of soup-adventure-exploration :"D
That's it really.
Just like all of my other posts, this has no beginning, no end. AND ABSOLUTELY NO SUBSTANCE.
lol
So I don't know why, and perhaps I'm just way too emotional, but I could have cried reading this. 10 calorie soup, girl you don't need to be having that shit :(
