Campbell’s have three soup flavours in the UK to choose from… Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Chicken and Cream of Tomato. We constantly get great feedback on all of our soups, so we know how much you love them!
But we really wanted to narrow down Campbell’s UK’s favourite soup; So, we took to our social media channels to find out your favourite Campbell’s Soup flavour. We did a series of polls to begin with and hundreds of you came out to vote!
When the results came in, Cream Of Mushroom and Cream of Celery were knocked out straight away. It was quite a clear win between Celery & Tomato with a 30% difference, but Cream Of Mushroom vs Cream of Chicken was a very close one!
The Final Vote
After receiving the votes on our two original polls we took the two winners into the final.

The Winner – What is it about Cream of Chicken?
