Ingredients:
Now you can make Cully & Sully' s delicious Vegetable soup yourself at home.
You will need:
Knob Butter
1 Onion diced
1 Leek diced
4 Sticks Celery diced
2 Potatoes diced
4 Carrots diced
2 Tomatoes Chopped/1/2 tin
1 Litre Vegetable Stock
100ml Cream
Salt & Pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a heavy based saucepan on a low heat. Add your onions, leek and celery and put the lid back on. Cook until the onions are translucent but not coloured. Add potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and stock and bring to a gently boil.
When the vegetable are cooked (you can easily crush them against the side of the saucepan with a wooden spoon) take off the heat and liquidise. Push the soup through a sieve ( you don't have to do this but it will make you soup lovely and silky). Pop back into the saucepan and add the cream, salt and pepper to taste. Serve with home made soda bread.
For a healthier soup omit the cream, for a dairy free soup, sweat the onions, leek and celery in olive oil and omit the cream. If your soup seems a little thick add extra stock after liquidising.
This is a great way to get vegetables into kids.
Ingredients:
Water, Carrots & Onions, Potatoes & Leeks, Fresh Cream, Irish Creamery Butter, Chopped Tomatoes, Celery, Organic Vegetable Stock*, Sugar, Salt & Black Pepper, Parsley & Thyme.

Hi,
The nutritional content/values you have above are quite different to what you have on your packets?!? The packet on the Veg soup says 2.04g of Sodium per 100g but on your website you say 0.35g.
Which is it?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark,
We make all our soups my taste and then send them for nutritional testing and we felt our vegetable soup was too high in salt so we have reduced it from .35g per 100g to .20g per 100g. This is done now but as Sully says we made a booboo on the packaging. Too many chefs! We will get it fixed asap.

Hi - we spotted today that there is a mistake on the veg soup. It is actually 0.20g of sodium per 100g- which is a printing error that is our fault and we are correcting immediately.
The website version above is correct.
Sully
phew, i thought i'd got it wrong on the website!
Thats still a third of your daily allowance of salt!
(
You have advertised "honey, carrot and coriander" soup on your website, saying 1.8 grams sodium per 100g but if you calculate that into salt per carton it is actually quite a lot. Salt is 2.5 times sodium and then multiply by 4!!!!! Thats a lot!
Hi there. Thanks a mill for getting in touch. Rena and Shane are to correct the salt %'s on the website in the morning. Cul is the expert on all this and we are definitely not that high. I am not an expert as Cul handles all this. He will respond this evening or tomorrow with the facts. Hope that's ok

OK, this is how it works.
We have 0.18 grams (not 1.8 grams as stated above) of sodium per 100g in our Carrot & Corriander soup which is 0.72 grams in a 400 grams serving. To get the salt level you multiply this by 2.5 which is equal to 1.8 grams of salt.
This is just less than a third of your RDA (6 grams) which I just found on the following website: http://www.independent.ie/health/latest-news/fat-and-salt-intake-still-f...
Putting that into practice. If you eat a healthy breakfast (not a fry!!) and say it contains 1 gram of salt, then a soup for lunch, it still leaves 3.2 grams of salt for dinner.
I don't claim to be an expert on this subject but for our meals I try to keep the sodium level below .24 grams per hundred grams as a rule of thumb but lower if possible depending on taste.
Ok fair enough but you need to change what it says on your website. Homepage, then click on soups, then click on honey, carrot and coriander. It then states the 'Fresh and Light. Less than 2 grams of fat per 100g. Only 1.8 grams of sodium per 100g. Gluten free and Vegetarian' All of that is stated in your website!!!!!
While everyone else in picking out the mistakes I may as well Join in! Last paragraph remove cream for a daity free soup....
Thanks, fixed that!
I have the new correct and final sodium and other numbers for each meal so I'll be correcting them all very shortly.
Thanks,
Shane
..and have one twice a week for my lunch, hope they are not too salty as read today somewhere that alot of ready to eat soups are high in salt! Im sure you guys have it figured out and have kept the salt make up minimal though! Love your range, keep up the good work!

Hi Sue who is a foodie :bigsmile
Thank you so much for your gorgeous message. Yep- we're on top of the salt thing and if you check out the below video from an interview that was done by TV3 with a food nutritionist, the lady actually says that our soups have the best vegetable content and the lowest salt contents. Sorry for blowing our own hats, but this stuff is important. A lot of salt and other weird things gets into soups through the stocks- we use an organic stock and it has a minute amount of salt.

Thank you so much again.

Hi There
I have a little boy who is gluten wheat and dairy intolerant. I was wondering if you sell any soup in Ireland which would suit his diet. Luv your soup. Many thanks

Hi,
While I really enjoy your vegetable soup I find it almost impossible to get the carton open! I understand because of
the contents that the lid needs to be secure but I can NEVER
get them open without trying for a few minutes first! Surely
the packaging doesn't have to be that secure, I'd like to not spend 10 minutes of my lunch break in work trying to get access to the soup before it even goes in the microwave! Are the packagers paranoid?!!
Thanks!
Hi,
Could you tell me if the above proportions of ingredients for your veg soup suggestion above, reflect the proportions you use in your soups for sale?
I noticed you don't use measurements for ingredients? Is their a reason for this(I can only speak of the veg soup carton in this instance)
Many thanks
