Background and Methodology
We are looking to explore possible opportunities for expanding the proposition of wet soup as a “year round” credible lunch option.
The objectives of the research are to:Determine the current top lunch options for Australians Identify top 10 lunch options by demographics in the warmer vs cooler months of the yearEstablish if there is an opportunity to own the lunch occasion more overtly, particularly counter - seasonal
Background
Methodology
• Online survey conducted in two waves: - Summer (Nov 2010) and Winter (April/ May 2011)
• Sample of n=1,400 (200 per day)• 50/50 Male/Female (with 50/50 – working / non working women)• Survey infield 23-29 November 2010

Key findings
Based on total lunch items consumed among 1,400 Australians in the last week of Spring, it appears that soup does not strongly feature as a popular lunch choice. Less than 3% of total people consumed soup for lunch across the week.
More popular items include sandwiches/ rolls, salads and fruit - all items that are easy to prepare and are readily available to purchase ready made in supermarkets or from food outlets. Interesting, the majority of reported lunch choices appear to be relatively healthy options
Across all lunch occasions throughout the week, among all demographics, at least 70% of lunchtime meals are eaten at home or at work. For most people, wet soup would be a viable lunch alternative within these two venues
In total, across any given week, around six in ten people either buy ingredients to make their own lunch, buy lunch items with their general grocery shopping, or visit a supermarket to purchase lunch items for that day. All of these people represent possible soup consumers who have an opportunity to purchase wet soup from a supermarket as a lunch option
Overall, six in ten people spend $5 or less on their lunch on average across both weekends and weekdays, while nine in ten spend no more than $10 on their lunch on average. Wet soup is a viable lunch option in terms of budget parameters.
While not specifically explored in the research, it appears that the main barrier to soup consumption throughout the warmer months may be driven by more of a mindset limitation, and less visibility of soup as a credible option during warmer seasons

Observations of top lunch options
reasonably healthy food choices
quick and easy to prepare
commonly available food options – whether they are prepared at home or purchased from a food outlet
can be consumed cold, although warm food is not necessarily a barrier for summer lunch choices – a number of people chose toasted sandwiches and the majority of meat dishes were consumed warm
Image: http://blog.guifx.com/2009/05/28/touchscreen-microwave//
However, in terms of developing soup as a credible “out of season” food choice, the need to heat the soup prior to consumption, and the lack of availability via food courts/ food outlets in summer means soup is perhaps not top of mind.
The top summer lunch options among Australians share a number of common attributes. In particular, lunch items such as sandwiches, salads and fruit are:

In comparing men with women, men are more likely to consume meat/ fish sandwiches or rolls (eg roast beef, chicken, ham, sausage) and fast food options such as hot chips and hotdogs. By comparison, women in general are more likely to consume salads, fruit, quiches/ egg
products and yoghurts. In comparing working vs non working women, those who work full time are more likely to eat stirfry and pasta meals which may be more accessible to them, while non working women are more likely to each pantry staples such as tuna and toast.

In comparing weekday and weekend lunches, it appears that hot lunches comprising steak/ schnitzel/ chicken and vegetables are more likely to be consumed on weekends. In addition, weekend lunches are more likely to include items such as quiche/ eggs as people
choose “brunch” options for a more leisurely meal option.
Soup consumption
So, how many people ate soup for lunch in the last
week of Spring?

Profile of soup consumers
Although based on a small sample size, it appears that those who choose soup as a lunch option are more likely to be:

Demographics
Image: http://www.mygreenaustralia.com/2010/08/meat-free-mid-week-soup-roundup/
Across an entire week, it is perhaps not surprising that almost eight in ten people
aged over 18 years eat their lunch either at home or at their place of work.
On weekdays, a higher proportion of people eat lunch at work, while on
weekends more than three in five people prepare their
midday meal at home.
Interestingly, eating lunch at restaurants/ cafes/ food
courts is relatively consistent across the week.

Again, as expected, full time workers are
significantly more likely to eat lunch across the week at their place of
work, while the majority of non-full time workers eat their lunch at home.
Among different age groups, those aged over 55 years are more likely
to eat lunch at home and are less likely to eat at restaurants/ cafes or
food courts.

Among the small sample of people who
consumed soup for lunch, almost half ate
their soup in the workplace, while more
than one third consumed their soup at home. The remainder
purchased their soup at a restaurant, café or
food court.
This highlights a slightly more limited range of soup eating locations compared with other
lunch options which can be more easily
consumed outside/ while travelling .

Opportunity/ Potential market size:

For most people, wet soup would be a viable lunch alternative within these two venues
Market size limitation:
Around one in five lunchtime meals are consumed in venues where wet soup may not be practical (eg while travelling, outside) or not always readily available, particularly during summer months (eg restaurant/ food court)

Across the full week, around one in three
people reported purchasing ingredients from a supermarket to
make their lunch. While one quarter included lunch items in their
general weekly grocery shopping, almost one in five bought takeaway for lunch across the week.
Interestingly, the source for lunch items is
reasonably consistent across weekdays and
weekends.

Q: Which best describes your lunch?
Across a full week, purchasing ingredients to make lunch appears to be the most popular source
of lunch items among both full time workers and non workers, and among all age groups.
However, full time workers and younger
people are more likely to purchase takeaway food while older people and
non full time workers are more likely to include lunch items in their
weekly grocery shopping.

Across the week, the source of lunch food is

purchase takeaway/ fast food while females are slightly more likely to
include their lunch food as part of their weekly supermarket shopping.

Across both weekdays and weekends, the
majority of people aged over 18 years spend no more than $5 on lunch on average across the
week.
However, on weekends, a slightly higher
proportion spend more than $15 on lunch
compared with weekdays (10%

Among different age groups, the average

Among the small sample soup consumers, the soup was eaten as a
main meal option rather than an entrée option.
As a result, almost three-quarters of those who consumed soup for
lunch spent no more than $5 on their meal, with almost nine in ten spending no more than
$10 on their meal.

Overall, six in ten people spend $5 or less on their lunch on average across both weekends and weekdays, while nine in ten spend no more than $10 on their lunch on average.
Wet soup is a viable lunch option in terms of budget parameters. While microwave and tinned soups fall into the $5 or under budget category, fresh or pre-packaged soups are generally likely to fall into the under $10 budget category
In addition, most of those people who consumed soup as their lunchtime meal indicated that it was their main food item rather than an entrée, ensuring that the cost of a wet soup lunch remains within average lunch cost range
