Knorr
 

:eek:Hi, what’s going on? We have been trying for the last six months here in Denia to get Knorr tomato soup in a packet, my misses uses it to make curries, we can’t find any. Is there a famine of tomatoes I have not heard about. I haven’t had a decent Ruby for months.

Re: Knorr
 

why not just ask in the shop where she used to buy it?

Re: Knorr
 

Isn't there an equivalent in your area of this type of place (British food hall near Madrid)?

Or can't you persuade someone here who's flying out to Alicante to bring across a few packets? Perhaps we need a top cook here to suggest alternatives; I would have thought tomatee puree, but obviously you're looking for a certain taste. Be interesting to see what other posters suggest.

Re: Knorr

Use Spanish.

Re: Knorr
 

You can say that again

Ingredients
Dried tomatoes, potato starch, modified milk ingredients, corn syrup solids, sugar, hydrolyzed corn protein, canola oil, salt, onion powder, modified corn starch, autolyzed yeast extract, dried basil and parsley, spices, potassium phosphate, sodium silicoaluminate, silicon dioxide and sulphites.

I would suggest Tomate Frito. Available everywhere in Spain.

Re: Knorr
 

it''s what we use:thumbsup:

Re: Knorr
 

And us. ;-))

Re: Knorr
 

If you have plenty of garden grown tomatoes left over from the season you can freeze them and use them in a frito too.

Re: Knorr
 

Baz............If Mrs Baz uses tomato Frito, coconut milk, onion,and pataks mild curry paste she will be able to make a fantastic curry either meat,prawn or veg.The curry paste albeit shown as mild is really madras strength. Look at the ingredients that go into the Knorr packet soup above ugggggh, I must say you are the first I know who uses it to make a curry. :eek: maybe You need to stop using such items and use the wonderful fresh items available in Spain. Best of luck in your search the hidden knorr.:rofl::rofl:

You can buy it here at this link who will post to Spain very cheap.

Re: Knorr
 

so they're spanish too:D

you learn soemthing every day

Re: Knorr
 

That's no good the ingredients are different. It wouldn't taste, you know, English!

Ingredientes:

Tomate en polvo (30 %), azúcar, grasa vegetal, harina de trigo, almidón modificado de maíz, sal, potenciador del sabor (glutamato monosódico), cebolla, aromas (contiene soja), especias, extracto de levadura, ajo, acidulante (ácido cítrico).

Re: Knorr
 

I am sure the Spanish soup would not taste the same. I have found the Mars Bars and Kit Kats made here do not have that creamy taste in fact are awful :(

Re: Knorr
 

I live 15 mins away from this supermarket but did not know it existed, thank you so much for the link. Guess where i will be going later :thumbsup:

Re: Knorr
 

Well Christine how did you get on at the English Supermarket stroke money pit.
Heinz beans are 82 cents in Mucky Donna here they are 1.12 Look after the cents and shop around. I love supermarkets I know its rather sad but I have the time to potter around now the Sun has gone on holiday for a few months, Also a big Ferreteria well nowwwwwww your talking. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Re: Knorr
 

The chocolate on mars bars is all crumbly and dry I've noticed, and there a ripoff so I never bother.

Re: Knorr
 

OMG I was so shocked at how expensive everything was :eek::eek:
I now realise how much I can do without. The only two words my hubby said were 'HOW MUCH' over and over:rofl::rofl:
I don't think we will be going very often

Re: Knorr
 

I must say we do use an English shop to get Pataks curry paste and Shredded wheat now winter is upon us, There is little else as you can find most things or their likeness in the Supermarkets. With Curry we use the MEXICAN FAJITAS bread just warmed though on a pan and they taste just as good as the indian chapati.They are available at most Supermarkets. I bet you have stuffed yourself with all your English goodies, My nearest one some 5 miles away was selling two for one easter eggs the other week :rofl::rofl:

Re: Knorr
 

I am having the same problem, my wife uses Knorr tomato soup in various dishes, we have been looking for months for the knorr version and cannot find a spanish equivalent and we have looked extensively through out the Murcia region.....whats going on?:sneaky:

Re: Knorr
 

Frito is better, but try Freds link HERE

Re: Knorr
 

I can't believe that weeks later Knorr is still the flavour of the month(s) when as jdr says, there's frito (admittedly a bit sweeter) and triturado, not to mention tom concentrate paste (don't know Spanish name)... what the heck's knorr got that these haven't, apart from countless E numbers?

Re: Knorr
 

I suppose its the taste!
No, Frito is not the same and has a totally different taste, I have been on the www.knorr.es site and they still list the packet tomato soup but I still cannot find a stockist.
I will get some bought over from the uk as there does not seem to be a problem there.

Re: Knorr
 

Packet tomato soup :confused:
We live ina country where vegetables abound, and are relatively cheap .... I dont think I'll ever consider buying a packet of soup :D

Re: Knorr
 

I made a mean leak and potato soup the other day, it went down a treat in the 9c coldsnap.

Re: Knorr
 

Heres a link for all you Knorr fans.

http://www.knorr.co.uk/knorrproducts.aspx

I have noticed that Intermarché supermarkets seem to sell the Knorr range, I am not a fan but I remembered that people had problems locating the said items.

E-Bay not much to post from Germany if you need it that much. :ohmy::ohmy:

Re: Knorr
 

Don't be mean jdr do put some potatoes and leeks in it next time ;)


A little pic below entitled...... Cheer up children its leek and tatty tonight :lol:

Re: Knorr
 

Each to your own but I suppose that depends on whether you have the time, we sometimes have to make soup for 40 people, my wife uses the Knorr tomato soup as a base adding frito and other bits and bobs so that she can make a very large and tasty soup quickly so that she has time to prepare the other 3 courses for 40 people.
