I’ll stick with my basic bitch Serrano any day.

Fun fact, smoked Serrano powder goes amazing in just about anything. Not the spiciest, sure, but great flavor.

I’ve had it!

It’s bad!

Taste is very strong extract, no actual pepper flavor. That’s on top of a pretty bland chicken noodle. It had some heat, nothing crazy but more than nothing, but without the flavor it just felt completely separate from the soup. Like you just did a shooter of Da Bomb and then ate some (very mid) soup back to back.

As an aside, I feel like Ghost Pepper is going pretty mainstream right now, and there’s some great stuff out there. Melinda’s Creamy Ghost Pepper Wing Sauce is amaaaaazing, I go through practically a bottle a week; pretty hot for normies but sooo much flavor that I got acclimatized very quickly and it’s pretty much my baseline now. Great for sandwiches/wraps or mixing with other sauces to pump up the heat (I put a bunch in all my Cane’s sauces these days).

As an aside to the aside, Tobasco is no pepper-head’s favorite, but their Scorpion sauce is actually pretty dang good. Flavor is decent, heat is awesome; very sharp and electric, gives very much the ouchie. Great for soups and chilis.

Can’t be great. Eating some Chunky brand soup rn for work, since my fridge died after buying groceries and I didn’t have the time for my usual lazy rice and beans. The shit blows.

Anyway, isn’t it crazy how these canned soups have lethal levels of sodium and still taste mid at best?

Ah yes because “adding your favorite hot sauce” to soup is just too much effort

looks awful
