Souphead Yunan Congee soup

Well Veetee, famous rice suppliers have launched an amazing ready meal products like ramen, soups to pasta.
The range is inspired by Thai, Japanese, Korean, Chinese etc.
It is a new addition to noodle head which were stir fried noodles in a pouch.
Previously tried the mac and cheese which was delicious but I was trying to get my hands on the chinese inspired congee soup which wasnt at any of the big tescos i visited.
Anyway finally got hold of it Thanks to my brother.
I have been looking for this product since 9th July when my brother messaged me about this and now its exactly a month later! "
Congee is like savoury rice pudding without dairy and has a thinner consistency just like Spanish Arroz Caldos.
The product is labelled as Yunan congee soup, a hearty rice porridge with vegetable broth, garlic and sesame.
The taste of this was comforting, despite being vegetable broth based, it still had that chicken umami.
The thing that really packed a punch was the ginger and garlic.
There was so much ginger pieces it, the garlic tasted like rehydrated dried garlic with bitterness.
Overall, I felt that it tasted like Korean herbal chicken and ginseng congee with that umami and bitterness.
I'm sure if a Korean tasted this, they would agree.
I also googled yunan/Yunnan congee and nothing came up except this product so I'm not quite convinced it has anything inspired by Yunnan.
Anyway, worth trying if you can find it at tescos.
