Campbells Condensed oxtail soup!

ducklyn

Hello peeps, was wondering whether anyone knows if Campbells have stopped doing their condensed oxtail soup?
I've noticed that many supermarkets are slowly making the Campbells section smaller and I just can't find the condensed oxtail soup anywhere.
I use it in winter to add to beef stews/casseroles and it's delicious!
Thanks

no, I haven't seen that one for ages, more's the pity as it was very useful

Another one that I used to use in a similar way was their beef consommè one which I also haven't seen for quite some time.

I believe it is something to do with Campbells being taken over by Batchelors, who have changed the packaging and presumably shrunk the range.

Thanks for the info Redfox - have found that UK company Symingtons now makes Campbells Condensed soups, although the range is not a vast as it was.
I'm awaiting a reply to my email for info. on whether they are going to extend the range and hopefully re-introduce oxtail.

I'd be interested to hear the outcome of that, do keep us posted

I used to love this and also the Heinz oxtail soup, but the other week I bought some heinz and it tasted horrible and nothing like it used to - I think they must have changed the recipe - yuck! I haven't seen the Campbells oxtail for over a year now.

If you can't find it, try Baxters Royal Game soup in casseroles and stews, it's really good. It's really tasty and is like very fine mince in gravy.

I saw some in my b/f's food cupboard about a month ago but I'm not sure how old they were :eek:.

I've never even seen it in Tesco (and believe me I've looked time and again), let alone at 31p :eek:

Think mysupermarket have got that wrong!
