We're working out what we think - we'll add our view here!
LYO says:
It has been extensively tested and cooked again and again to discover that distinctive flavor note. The little secret is to roast red peppers and tomatoes together right before cooking. We won't disclose the big secret, but the soup’s creamy texture, combined with a handful of white rice, is sure to satisfy any hungry enthusiast of this beloved dish.

Our Verdict
LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.
The fill line for adding water to the packs is novel with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best but it still works.
