Looking for vegan soups to buy? Here’s your list!

While I love a homemade minestrone, sometimes nothing beats the speed of vegan soups to buy for busy days. If you’re trying to eat plant-based, there are a few things to look out for.

Not all store-bought soups are vegan. Even seemingly innocent ones like tomato soup can contain milk powder or other animal products. That’s why it’s key to check the packaging to see if the soup is marked as suitable for vegans.

If it isn’t explicitly labelled as suitable for vegans, the next step is to check the ingredient list for animal products.

But don’t fret, I’ve done the heavy lifting for you! I’ve looked at the soups from the big supermarkets to tell you which ones are vegan. Easy Saturday lunch: sorted!

Where to buy vegan soup

In supermarkets, vegan soups can often be found in different aisles:

  • With other soups, in the canned foods section
  • Near the fresh vegetables
  • In the “free from” aisle, with the gluten-free, vegan, etc. alternatives

Not all the soups found there will be vegan though! So make sure you follow the guidelines below.

When shopping online, for example ordering groceries online, you can sometimes use filters to only show vegan-friendly soups. They’re not always accurate though, so it’s worth double-checking the product description!

But for the major food retailers, I’ve done the work for you! Go straight to what’s available in your local supermarket by clicking through the links below:

How to check if a soup is vegan

The first step when searching for vegan soup is to search the packaging (or the product description online) for an explicit “suitable for vegans” text. If it says “suitable for vegetarians”, it may be vegan, but it may also contain milk or egg.

The next step is to look for the Vegan Trademark. It looks like a sunflower with the word vegan under it and it means that the Vegan Society certifies that the product is vegan. You can follow this link to see what it looks like and for more info.

Depending on where you are, another symbol to look out for is the V-Label, with “VEGAN” written under it. See what it looks like here.

If you can’t find an explicit “suitable for vegans” mention or the Vegan Trademark, your next option is to scan the ingredients list for animal products. Helpfully in Europe, allergens such as milk and egg need to be bolded, so they’ll stand out easily. But other animal products could be lurking in there, so read through the ingredients list, and when in doubt: google it!

Vegan soups to buy at Tesco

The way I’ve labelled the soups is that the ones with a “green light” are the ones that are explicitly labelled as vegan. The ones with the “amber light” contain no obvious animal ingredients, but aren’t explicitly marketed as vegan.

Here’s a quick pro tip: mixing the first two soups on the list! We often mix two of the tomato one with one of the lentil one, and that’s enough for two adults and two toddlers. Tell me if you try it!

“I could never give up meat”… How many times “I could never give up meat”… How many times have we heard that? Or said it ourselves? 🤔

The foods we are used to can have a very strong emotional bond, even though they’re not always the best for us. Plant-based eating is better for our health and the planet (and of course the animals!), but I can understand having cravings for foods we have enjoyed for a lot of our lives. 😬

In the blog post, for each dinner, I’ll offer two options. One is the 100% vegan option and one is the one to use if you’re taking baby steps towards going vegan. Find them by following the link in my bio! 😘

1️⃣ Last week I headed into Oxford to work from "the office", aka @oxfordtownhall and had a nice lunch at my old hangout spot @artcafeoxford

2️⃣ I don't share much of my "job job" haha on here, but it is very rewarding making positive changes (or at least trying to) with @oxfordcitycouncil, like involving teenage girls in designing park equipment or trying to get more trees in the city 🌳🏙️✨

3️⃣ Anyhoo, back to fun vegan stuff - I highly recommend the Art Café if you're in Oxford and fancy something vegan, they have quite a lot of variety. The flapjack was a slice of heaven haha. (This isn't sponsored, but I will accept payment in free flapjacks and juices! 😜)

4️⃣ After a long day, it was lovely to come home to some treats I had ordered earlier:
🍄☕ Adaptogenic coffee from @london.nootropics (if you want to check them out, use code jessicagoodenough at checkout for 15% off)
📆🌷 A beautiful @amberdavenport_uk calendar that's going to serve as our family calendar so that we're on the same page this year! 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦😵‍💫😅

5️⃣ I struggled with energy a bit after a few short nights, so I've been trying a few things to stay energised. One of them is finishing my shower with cold water (okay, let's be real, it was cool water, still working on this haha)... 🥶⚡

6️⃣ ... the other one is getting fresh air after lunch to avoid getting caught up in the post-lunch slump. 👢👢🍃

7️⃣ This weekend I made the feijoada recipe from my new @thehappypear book... It tasted better than it looked haha. In fact I'd say it was the yummiest thing I've made in a while. 😋 Not exactly like the meaty ones I had in Brazil (though that was almost a decade ago) but super good!

Most people start their vegan journey with food, b Most people start their vegan journey with food, but quickly we start questioning what our wardrobes and homes are full of… And sometimes it’s not a pretty picture. I never advocate for throwing everything out and going on a crazy shopping spree, but if you are in the market for new vegan furniture, here’s where you can get it! 😊

I’ll be honest, I thought I was being clever while writing this list. I thought I’d check out the list of companies with a @theoriginalvegansociety trademark, pluck out a few furniture ones and tadaa… Job done! 🌱

Well it turns out that none of the companies listed actually sell furniture… so back to good old Google. As much as I love @immaculatevegan to find lots of vegan fashion brands, there isn’t a comparable platform for vegan furniture (should I create it??). 🤔

In any case, here are some cool companies I found who sell vegan furniture in the UK (and further afield too)! ✨

Where we're at with the kitchen renovation: ✅ T Where we're at with the kitchen renovation:

✅ The cupboards are all in
✅ The beautiful breakfast bar with a waterfall worktop is done (photos soon once we declutter it 😬)
✅ All the worktops are in place
✅ All appliances are in place
✅ The hob backsplash tiles are on the wall (the ones you can see in the video are now grouted)

What's still to happen:
💙 Treating the hob worktop (it's currently covered, under the tiles in the video)
💙 Put hob in
💙 Get lights over breakfast bar working
💙 Purchase bins + the "back" of the breakfast bar (or front if you're looking at it from the living room!)
💙 Finish adding cupboard doors
💙 ... and probably many more things!

The Man (aka @robbeaver 😅) has done the vast majority of the work and managed the whole project... I don't think he's in a rush to take on a big project for such a difficult client again. 😜
