Just something I noticed recently. On tins of Heinz soup it states a cooking
time of 2 minutes. On cartons of Covent Garden soup the cooking time is 6
minutes. When they are poured into the bowl the Heinz soup is lukewarm and
starting to get cold. The Covent Garden soup is always piping hot and
generally tastes better than the Heinz.
I think Heinz need to change their instructions.

Tinned soup has been completely sterilised by the canning process so
that tins can be stored for very long periods at ambient temperature,
not refrigerated. Tinned soup requires no more than warming up to edible
temperature, which is apparently beyond your capabilities.
Covent Garden sells fresh, chilled soup in a cardboard carton which
tells you it should be stored in the fridge for a limited period.
The better taste and longer heating time reflects the fact the contents
of the carton are fresh and chilled. If you buy tinned soup costing less
than half the price of fresh, chilled soup, that also explains the
difference in taste.

Are you saying I'm not capable of warming up tinned soup? I think I am. And

it is edible but would taste better hotter. I actually now heat it longer
than it says on the tin.

According to you, you served it "lukewarm, starting to get cold".

6 minutes seems like a _long_ time to microwave soup for, if the carton is the same size as the can. At 850W, that's enough to take 1 litre from room temperature to just about boiling.
(2 minutes at 700W should heat 400g of soup by about 50C.)

are you doing this? Microwave? Top of stove? And you really only need to
bring such a soup to the boil. Perhaps let it simmer for a minute but no
longer than that. I am sure that neither soup says to cook for whatever
amount of time.

read the directions for heating a tin (or a carton) of soup. Just heat
it until it is as hot as you want it to be. Pretty simple, really.

Well I haven't noticed this myself but my friend has and I've seen it in
