AI Summary

I'm fairly certain this topic has been discussed on the forum before and some have actually tried it.

Don't fancy it myself - but any port in a storm!

PS: A quick search for "soup" threw up a few possibilities, including this one for onion soup

Asda have Baxter's French onion soup on offer at 50p each.

Bought 3 tins of it to experiment with.

I'll post my results when I get round to making a base with it.

Run out of base once and had to use homemade parsnip soup. The resultant curry (bhuna) was actually very good. My mate- the curry recipient wolfed it down without complaint????. Must have been hungry and/or very polite/drunk lol

Hate to be a bad apple in this thread, but if it were me I may as well just buy a jar of curry sauce if you going to buy soup to make a curry sauce, it is full of the same preservatives. Unless you buy fresh soup at
