If you want high-protein soup in the UK, the best options usually fall into three buckets: bone broths (highest protein per sip), bean/lentil soups (most filling), and protein cup soups (fast, portioned, gym-friendly). The “best” depends on whether you’re chasing pure protein, fullness, or convenience.
Below is a practical shortlist based on what’s commonly available in the UK (including options shown in your screenshot), plus a simple way to choose without getting tricked by marketing.
1) Highest-protein per serving: Bone broths (drinkable, clean, simple)
Bone broth is often the easiest way to push protein up without adding lots of carbs or fat. It’s not always a “chunky soup,” but for protein, it’s hard to beat.
Ossa Bone Broth (Chicken / Lamb)
A strong pick if you want a ready-to-use bone broth you can warm up and drink, or use as a base for soup.
Best for: pure protein, gut-friendly “light meals,” people who hate heavy lunches
How to use: sip it, or add shredded chicken + veg to turn it into a proper bowl
Freja Bone Broth (including Fish options)
Good if you want packaged broth with a simple “heat and go” routine.
Best for: fast protein on busy days
How to use: sip with salt/lemon, or stir into noodles/veg soups
Jarmino Bone Broth (Concentrate)
This is more of a concentrate than a soup. It’s great when you want to make multiple servings and control strength.
Best for: people who want value-per-serving and stronger flavour
How to use: dilute to taste, then build a soup with chicken, mushrooms, spinach, or tofu
Quick reality check: Bone broth gives you protein, but it can feel “too light” unless you add something solid (veg, chicken, tofu, beans).
2) Most filling high-protein soups: Beans and lentils (real meal bowls)
If your goal is “I want soup that keeps me full,” bean and lentil soups win because they bring protein + fibre.
Mr Organic Tomato & Lentil Soup
A reliable “bowl soup” style that’s naturally more satisfying than thin soups.
Best for: lunch that doesn’t collapse your energy
Upgrade idea: add extra lentils or shredded chicken; finish with black pepper
Mr Organic Spicy Mixed Bean Soup
Great if you prefer bold flavour and you want protein without dairy.
Best for: people who get bored of mild soups
Upgrade idea: squeeze of lime or a spoon of yoghurt alternative (if dairy-free)
Haricot beans (as a “protein soup hack”)
Haricot beans aren’t soup by themselves, but they’re one of the easiest ways to turn an average soup into a high-protein soup.
Best for: making any veg soup more filling
How to use: blend beans into soup for thickness, or add whole beans for texture
3) Fastest “protein on the go”: High-protein cup soups
These are built for convenience: quick, portioned, and easy to store at work.
FUEL10K High Protein Instant Cup Soup (Chicken / Tomato)
If you need something fast and structured (especially after workouts), high-protein cup soups do the job.
Best for: office lunch, post-gym “something warm,” controlled portions
Best tip: treat it like a base, add cooked chicken, tofu cubes, or a boiled egg on the side
Note: The protein is decent, but cup soups can be smaller meals unless you pair them with something.
4) “Soup-like” high-protein options: Miso and meal replacement soups
Some products show up in soup searches because people use them like soups, even if they’re technically instant soups or diet soups.
itsu MisoEasy (including chilli miso options)
Miso isn’t always high-protein on its own, but it’s excellent when you want a warm, low-effort protein-supporting base.
Best for: light meals, late-night cravings
Make it high-protein: add tofu, edamame, or leftover chicken
Clearspring Instant Miso Soup (Hearty Red / similar)
A “cleaner” pantry option for miso fans.
Best for: quick savoury drink, gentle meals
Make it high-protein: add tofu + seaweed + mushrooms
NUPO Diet Soup boxes
These are more like structured meal replacements than normal soups. They can be helpful if your goal is high protein with controlled calories, but they’re not a “comfort soup” experience.
Best for: planned dieting, portion control
Not best for: people who want chunky, home-style soup texture
5) Don’t confuse soup with stock: where Vecon fits
Vecon Vegetable Stock (concentrate)
Vecon is a stock base, not a high-protein soup. But it’s useful because it helps you make a high-protein soup taste good fast.
Best for: building quick soups
Protein move: use Vecon + beans + shredded chicken = fast “homemade” high-protein soup
How to choose in 20 seconds (pick your goal)
- Max protein, minimal effort: bone broth (Ossa / Freja / Jarmino)
- Most filling “real soup bowl”: tomato & lentil / mixed bean styles
- Fastest workday option: high-protein cup soups (FUEL10K)
- Light but satisfying base: miso + tofu/edamame
- Strict portion-control diet approach: meal replacement soups (NUPO)
The label trick that stops disappointment
When you see “high protein” on the front, flip to the nutrition panel and check:
- Protein per serving (not per 100g only)
- Calories per serving (so you know if it’s a snack or a meal)
- Salt (some “protein soups” are salty, fine, but good to know)
