JAKE Tomato Soup 🍅 🥣

[Eric]

although i already had my JAKE Shake for lunch, i had to try
the Tomato Soup which just was delivered now.

i'm very surprised about the flavour & consistency - well done from my side.
for sure it can be added some spices, but the main flavour is tasty.

i guess if you split the amount of water, you can make a sauce... because the flavour reminds me
a bit of a sauce. in the beginning i thought i taste a bit of parmesan cheese, but for sure only in my brain.

thanks JAKE Team !

That is great to hear @Eric! Thanks for your feedback

Enjoy the rest of them!

Add the pouch of Jake Soup slowly into the bowl while stirring. Adding the pouch slowly will prevent lumps.

just that it's been said...
i was in hurry today & have thrown the whole bunch into the pot with the hot water, used
the whisk to stir for a while & no lumps were given.

Sounds good!

Interesting! I had an almost opposite experience with the soup, after having tried it several times now.

For me, the soup has pretty horrible consistency (especially the chunks of tomato are both distracting and not tasty at all), and a yucky salty aftertaste. And I'm normally a big fan of tomato soup.
I originally bought it partially to experiment with using it as pasta sauce by adding a thickening agent to it - but after trying it the flavor is so disagreeable to me that I decided to forego that experiment entirely, as I don't think it would taste very good at all.

As for mixing: simply stiring will not do the trick for sure. Pre-mixing in my shaker before heating works well, as does mixing hot water + the powder inside a sealable silicon bag (just be careful of air pressure in the beginning!). By simply stirring it was impossible to get the lumps out (no matter how slowly I did it) and I ended up spilling a lot of it in the process as well.

such a pity, but looks like we have the "better" water in Switzerland... at least for the preparing of soup.
and regarding the sauce, why adding thickening agent - you only have to use less water.

[Thulinma]

I don't think it's related to the water quality. Especially since I'm in The Netherlands, where Jake's soup was formulated to begin with
The thickening agent would be to thicken the consistency without changing the strength of the taste. But perhaps it tastes better with less water...? I only tried the package-suggested 350ml of water. How much did you use? More? Less? Tips welcome, for sure.

same here, for the soup i always use 350ml as written on the package - always comes out fine & tastes great.
happy slurping.

Just got my first Jake soup and omg! Amazing! for the winter lunch it will be my absolute winner from now on! I love the thickness of it (I used a whisk to mix it in a bowl, no lumps at all) and base flavour is really nice. I will probably experiment with adding different spices to have a bit of variety. Finally a nice, healthy lunch soup (compared to the mostly salt and artificial flavouring "soup" served in our canteen). I have long waited for a savoury version of Jake and I couldn't be happier! Will you please consider adding other taste variants? Pumpkin/coconut/lime for example? Or mushrooms?

[VeraW_TeamJake]

@AB_Wegrzyn that's great to hear! We'll definitely keep your suggestions in mind.

Enjoy your soup!

so, finally i did my 1st sauce.
given 200ml of water into the JAKE bag, stired with a big spoon & then stored into the fridge for a while.
before the fridge it was too liquid.
i have used it for the pizza ground & also some pasta.

for Pumkin i would sign for sure.

and going a lil off topic now...
if you like the some more special soups, you should give a try to a "Tom Kha" soup.

[AB_Wegrzyn]

I absolutely love Tom Kha soup, in general I am a big fan of the sour&spicy Thai dishes just not sure if that would work for the more thick&creamy Jake soup consistency

I just tried the tomato soup following the instructions as in the package (I added a little bit of grated parmigiano). This is a game changer for me, I was struggling with having a regular shake at home because since I was craving something warm, especially in winter, but now with the soup this problem is solved. I hope there would be more flavours coming.
