Knorr Oxtail Soup

Whenever I feel sick or have a hangover, there's nothing better than package soup. Personally, I prefer Knorr Oxtail for its unbeaten consistency and colour.

My soup career started, when my father introduced me "Rennfahrersuppe" [racing driver soup]. Probably, this is the first hot thing I was ever able to cook myself. Even today, I'm always curious about what happens, when you open the paper bag, pour the powder into the water and turn on the cooker. Apropos: there are two questions, which I woud like to ask:

  1. Some soups require to be poured in cold, others into hot water. Why?
  2. In former times, the racing driver soup used to be shipped in small boxes, which I prefer. Why did they all switch to bags. Why?
