Ready made soups - canned soups from Great Britain

Soups are industrially manufactured soups and stews , with processes such as drying , canning in tin cans or freezing can be made for a long time durable. To be eaten, they only have to be heated, sometimes after adding water.

development

Rudolf Scheller's factory had been producing condensed soups in Hildburghausen since 1872

Ready-made soups are among the oldest ready-made meals . Precursors and early forms from the second half of the 19th century are the meat extract from Justus Liebig , Rudolf Scheller's “Condensirte Soups” (from 1872), the legume flour from Julius Maggi , the Maggi wort and the stock cube as well as the pea sausage . Aside from legume flour, all of these products are still made today.

The instant soups made from concentrated or dried ingredients - also known colloquially as "sachet soups" - were later joined by canned soups and, finally, soups preserved by deep freezing.

precursor

The forerunners of this food form, known for centuries, are pemmican and borts , food preparations of the North American and Caucasian steppe inhabitants.
