There were subtle flavors in there too, so I'll have to eat more of it before rushing to conclusions. It does appear to be a good base for vegetarian soup.

You're welcome, and yes, I do have a recipe for roasted onion soup which I use it in, which, oddly enough, all this Marmite talk had put me in the mood for the other night. So I made it, and enjoyed it as always. Meanwhile, all this Paddington talk is making me equally nostalgic to go back and read the books again. I guess I'll have to start raiding my own local library for them.

Oh, and if you're interested, here is the Marmite advertisement with Paddington Bear which proved so controversial last year:
