Product Review - New Covent Garden Patatas Bravas Soup

I'm a real fan of tapas, and Patatas Bravas in particular. So when I came across a soup version in my local Waitrose, I couldn't resist. I've found the quality of New Covent Garden Soups quite patchy, but the lure of spicy potato and chorizo soup was enough to override my scepticism. Big Mistake.
What a disappointment! This was little more than mediochre tomato soup with a handful of diced potatoes and chorizo thrown in. Not spicy, and definitely nothing like the flavour that Patatas Bravas deliver. It was really, really dull.
New Covent Garden pioneered the chilled soup category, with really interesting recipes and big chunky soups. But there's now quite a bit of competition - own label and smaller brands such as Yorkshire Provender, and New Covent Garden certainly aren't doing themselves any favours with this product. At £2.20 for a pot, I certainly expected more than this.
