Cup-a-Soup

 
Wikipedia: Cup-a-Soup
A prepared chicken & vegetable cup-a-soup

Cup-a-Soup is an instant soup product sold under various brands worldwide. In the United States, the product is manufactured and marketed by Unilever's Lipton brand. In the United Kingdom the product is sold as Batchelors Cup-a-Soup, a brand which is now owned by Premier Foods.

The soup is made by pouring the soup sachet into a mug or cup, filling the mug with hot water and stirring the mixture.

Some flavors include minestrone, chicken noodle, tomato soup and chicken & vegetable. Low-calorie versions also exist in the UK, under the name slim-a-soup, and include slightly different flavours, such as mediterranean tomato.

2007 has also seen the introduction of 'Cup-a-Soup Extra', which are individual sachets of soup and pasta sold in a variety of flavours, including cheese and broccoli (with tagliatelle), chicken and mushroom (with pasta), minestrone, and Tangy Salsa Tomato.

Recently,[when?] there has been a new release of a jar featuring approximately 12 servings.

Pluralisation

Grammarians have argued as to the correct plural form of Cup-a-Soup. Some believe the correct form is Cups-a-Soup, whereas others contest that being a registered trademark that the correct form is Cup-a-Soups. [1]
