I've never heard of that one, but it sounds good

Ditto. I have a tin of oxtail soup in the cupboard and a bag of frozen chips in the freezer. I feel another gastronomic day trip coming on. :drool:

I am in the North West but never heard of that one. Have heard of 'Kirby cuisine' which is Pot Noodle on chips......bleurgh

Now a friend said this to me & i was horrified lol it's odd how different areas have different foods & they don't tend to move out of those areas much.

We do!!!!!!!!! We do!!!!!!!!! We do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i remember my mum being ill in hospital and me and my dad sitting down to eat this.

Tomato soup with chips is the best in my opinion though. Or agreed homemade thick vegetabel soup that sticks to the chips!!

ooooh chips and gravy too!!!

:T :T :T :T :T :T :T thats dinner sorted

My DH is from Kent and he loves soup and chips - so not just a Northern thing!

In fact he loves it so much that it's the thing he always wants if he's feeling poorly. If it gets to meal time and he says "Can I just have some soup and chips?" then I know something's wrong!

Usually has to be Heinz tomato soup in a big bowl with the chips in it, but can be Heinz chicken soup at a pinch.

On similar lines he also likes soup with chunks of ham in it. Has to be "proper" ham off a knuckle bought from the butcher. Sliced processed ham just won't do the job apparently.

I'm from NE Scotland and had never even thought of soup and chips before I moved down south, but as a small child would want mashed potato and chips if poorly. I don't think I realised they were both made out of potatoes!

My mam does this - first day you have the stew with dumplings then the next day what's left is served on top of chips with lots of bread and butter to make butties I dont usually eat it cos she puts split peas in and if i ate a pea i'd just DIE _pale_ :rotfl:

Where you from jp? Maybe a regional thing? I'm up north, near Burnley

im origanally from leigh near wigan but recently took this to the outskirts of lincolnshire and anywhere else my oh job sends us.
talking about ham in soup my other favourite was pea and ham soup. now that really was a poor mans meal.
im now wishing i had the stuff in for broth but my cupboards are bare till i go shopping. its so cold broth would be great.

I'm from about 10 miles from the borders of Kent.

I've never heard of it

I've never heard of soup and chips before (being a southern softie!)

I take it you have the soup poured over the chips?

I don't see why it wouldn't 'go' together - my Mum loves soup over boiled potatoes, no real difference.

I think I might just give it a whirl the next time I make soup!

Soup and Chips is Great..especially a nice thick broth!

This was one of our favourite teas when we were kids! I still love it in winter. It makes the chips all soggy so you have to use thick bread to make a butty. Just thinking about it is making me hungry now yummy!

I knew someone who would use either Oxtail or Mulligatawny soup as gravy for chips.

Used to be an Indian restaurant in Glasgow who served mulligatawny with chips on top as a starter.
My mum and dad went on dates there in the 50s.
