Zuppa Uno Pumpkin and Rosemary Soup


Taste

Zuppa Uno is supposed to be a specialist in Italian style soup. Reading the ingredients on this one, you can certainly see that it is very good for you. The taste though? Very strongly of chicken stock and pepper, with a faint sweetness of pumpkin. The pumpkin was not the dominant player here, and the soup was saltier than I though. The texture was not too creamy and had chunks of real pumpkin, which was appealing.

Rating - 6.5

Look

Very sexy packaging, with a "personal story" delivered to you by the company. Pity you couldn't heat the soup up in the packaging. You have to pour it into a saucepan or a microwave-proof container.

C-factor

750ml for $8.95, discounted to $3. For $8.95, it's almost as much as going to a cafe to have soup, but for $3, certainly a satisfying meal.
