Probably because they have glucose syrup/sugar and a whole lot of starch in them. Never had one but just looked up the ingredients - yuk!

Celeriac and leek with lots of garlic. Is an unattractive shade of beige but tastes delicious!

I have quite a few kitchen 'toys' one of which is a Bamix hand held blender - it is really useful as it can be used straight into a pan or a jug and a few leftovers become a tasty sauce or the basis for a soup or stew.

My base for veg soup is leek,garlic and chilli ,marmite then any above ground veg Bung into pressure cooker or stock pot don't forget water or stock ! Cook for about 10 minutes according to amount Blitz and serve with a swirl of cream and a small sprinkle of turmeric and a few leaves of fresh parsley if you like It is a good start for experiment
