When you're feeling a bit poorly, there's nothing quite like a piping hot bowl of to perk you up. It's comforting and nourishing, the perfect remedy when you can't face anything else.

Paired with warm buttered toast or a crusty baguette, it's a cosy dinner to savour in front of the telly. Or it serves as a quick, satisfying lunch after a brisk winter stroll.

Heinz soup will set you back £1.70 per tin, which can quickly add up. So I decided to test out budget soups from , , and to see if any could match up for a fraction of the cost.

Heinz Tomato Soup is priced at £1.70 from Asda for a 400g tin, equating to 85p per half-can serving. This had the most vibrant tomato flavour of all the cans.

It tasted fresher, more akin to homemade soup with fresh vine-ripened tomatoes. When I checked the ingredients list, it made sense, reports .

It contained 89 percent tomatoes, cream and herb and spice extracts. Per half-can serving, it contains 9.7g of sugar, 1.1g of salt and 1.7g of protein.

I awarded it a full 5 out of 5 stars.

Lidl soup is priced at 62p for a 400g tin, working out at 31p per half-can serving.

It contains 10g of sugar, 1.2g of salt and 2.2g of protein per half-can serving.

Made with tomato puree rather than tomatoes, I found it still had a good flavour but I wasn't so keen on the consistency. It seemed more watery than Heinz and all the other supermarket brands, really lacking in creaminess.

I gave it 3 out of 5 stars.

The supermarket's soup is part of Morrisons' extensive Savers range, which can work out a lot cheaper than buying branded items. The Savers Tomato Soup costs 55p for 400g, which works out to 28p per half can portion.

And it tasted amazing. It was really thick and creamy and packed a powerful sweet tomato punch.

There was no pull-cap so I needed to use a tin opener to open it but that was no problem. Made with 67 percent tomatoes with mustard seed and flavourings, it contained 8.9g of sugar, 1g protein and 1g salt per half can.

I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.

Aldi's soup costs 62p for 400g, which works out to 31p per half can portion - just the same as Lidl. Each half can portion contains 9.7g of sugar, 1.1g of salt and 1.7g of protein.

Just like Heinz, this was made with 89 percent tomatoes, together with cream and flavourings. Even though it had a super creamy consistency, I found there wasn't quite such a punchy tomato flavour that was present in the Morrisons and Heinz varieties.

This seemed odd due to its high tomato content. It tasted a little bland in comparison.

I gave it 3 out of 5 stars. .

While the fresh and zesty flavour of Heinz was thoroughly enjoyable, I'm delighted to have discovered a 'comfort food' for just 55p a can. The taste of Morrisons was delightful and it was incredibly creamy.

I didn't want my bowl of soup to finish. Plus, it was £1.15 cheaper than Heinz.

Hats off to Morrisons.
