THOUSANDS of Christmas dinners in a tin will hit shelves this week after it cooked up a storm last year.
The £2 soup — hailed as “yummy” by Hollywood star Drew Barrymore — sold out in just two hours last Christmas after Heinz had made just 500 cans.

This year, 20,000 tins — including a vegan version — will go on sale at selected Asda shops on Thursday.
Heinz Soups’ Bahar Kiransa said: “After last year’s reaction, bringing it back was a no-brainer.
“We’ve been hard at work all year perfecting our recipes for both the meat and vegan versions.”
The soup was even hailed internationally last year with Charlie’s Angels star Drew Barrymore calling it as “hearty” and “yummy” on her chat show.
This year’s meaty version is made with turkey breast, potatoes, carrots, parsnips, sprouts, cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets and sage and onion stuffing balls.
The vegan one has a festive gravy flavour and crammed with veg, vegan sausage and stuffing balls.

A Heinz spokesman added: “Based on last year’s demand, they’re expected to sell like hot cakes, so if you want to sample the hearty, chunky flavours, you’ll have to be quick.”
Research by Heinz found that nearly a quarter of Brits would eat Christmas dinner every day if we could.
