There’s nothing better than a steaming bowl of soup on a chilly day — especially when it tastes homemade but doesn’t take hours to make. Tesco’s soup range is full of flavour-packed options that deliver that “slow-cooked” comfort without the effort (or the price tag).
Whether you’re craving something creamy, hearty, or classic, these soups prove you can eat well for under £2 a bowl.
Tesco Finest Tomato & Basil Soup
Rich, tangy, and perfectly smooth, this is one of Tesco’s best-loved soups for a reason. The roasted tomato base gives it real depth, while the fresh basil keeps it bright and fresh.
I like serving it with a chunk of crusty bread or a grilled cheese sandwich. It tastes like it simmered on the stove for hours, yet it’s ready in minutes. Comfort food made easy — and it costs less than a fancy coffee.
Tesco Carrot & Coriander Soup
This one’s a British classic. It’s fragrant, naturally sweet, and the coriander gives it just the right hint of warmth. The texture is silky but still feels hearty enough for lunch.
It’s perfect with a side of warm pita or a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds on top. It’s light, nourishing, and feels homemade without the chopping and blending.
Tesco Chicken & Vegetable Soup
If you want something that feels like Mum made it, this is it. Tender chicken pieces, chunky veg, and a savoury broth that tastes properly seasoned — it’s the definition of comforting.
It’s ideal for quick dinners, especially when you’re under the weather or need something soothing. Add a slice of buttered toast, and you’ve got a meal that feels like a hug in a bowl.
Tesco Lentil & Bacon Soup
Smoky, savoury, and filling, this soup tastes far more indulgent than its price suggests. The lentils make it hearty, while the bacon adds that irresistible depth of flavour.
It’s great for meal-prep lunches or easy weeknight dinners. Pair it with a salad or a baked potato, and you’ve got a meal that feels like proper home cooking — for pocket change.
Tesco Spicy Butternut Squash Soup
Creamy with just a touch of heat, this one feels like something from a café. The sweetness of the squash balances perfectly with the subtle kick of spice, making it warm and satisfying.
It’s perfect for cosy autumn dinners, especially with garlic bread or a sprinkle of chilli flakes on top. It’s smooth, flavourful, and feels indulgent while still being under £2 a bowl.
Tesco Mushroom Soup
Earthy, creamy, and rich — Tesco’s mushroom soup is the ultimate comfort meal. The texture is velvety, and the mushroom flavour tastes fresh, not artificial.
I love adding a drizzle of cream or a few sautéed mushrooms on top to make it look and taste homemade. It’s elegant enough for guests but still one of the most affordable soups you can buy.
Tesco Pea & Ham Soup
Hearty, traditional, and full of flavour, this soup could easily pass as homemade. The peas are perfectly blended, the ham gives it a smoky depth, and it’s thick enough to feel substantial.
It’s great for chilly nights when you want something simple but filling. Add a slice of buttered brown bread, and it’s a meal that’ll warm you right through.
The Takeaway
Tesco’s soup range proves that comfort doesn’t have to come with a big price tag. Each of these bowls tastes freshly made, costs less than £2, and saves you from dirtying a single pan. When life gets busy (or cold), these soups are a little reminder that good food doesn’t have to be complicated.
