The Baxters Favourites soup range has been enhanced and refreshed by the brand to keep it relevant with the changing preferences of today's consumer. The various soups within the range had their recipe reformulated by the brand's development chef Darren Sivewright, and have all been approved by CEO and fourth generation family member Audrey Baxter. The soups come in five flavors including Minestrone, Cream of Tomato, Country Garden, Carrot & Coriander and Cream of Chicken, which are each priced at £1.60 per 400-gram can in the UK.
Sivewright spoke on the process behind getting the new Baxters Favourites soup range just right saying, "Similar to cooking up a pot of soup in the comfort of your own kitchen, we make ours in small batches and taste test every half an hour to ensure we are always serving up a bowl of soup, just like homemade."
