Al Desko: New Covent Garden Soup Co Fresh Bowls

What: New Covent Garden Soup Co Fresh Bowls — Red Thai Sweet Potato and Coconut or Smokey Tomato & Red Pepper (£2.99)

Where from: major supermarkets and independent retailers.

Taste assessment: the problem with soup being the healthy but ever so boring option for work lunch may have a potential solution with the launch of Fresh Bowls by New Covent Garden Soup Co. While microwaving the soup, the vegetables suspended above it are steamed, ready to be dropped in. The sweet potatoes retain their shape well, the bamboo shoots have a nice, unchewy texture and the soup — a tiny bit spicy — is filling. Souper.
