Hey Britain. On a day like today, you already know the absolutely perfect thing to eat.

It comes in a bowl, you eat it with a spoon, it's absolutely delicious and it'll warm you right through.

Of course it's soup. It has to be soup and of course it has to be Heinz.

Which leaves you with just one decision. Will it be a tried and trusted favorite or will one of the new hind soup flavours

For warming comfort on a cold day, it has to be Heinz. Our episodes deal with serious and often distressing incidents.
