Homemade-In-Minutes. That’s Frontier Soup’s effort
to make the culinary process simpler for those looking for a flavorful, healthy
meal without the hassle. With little time to prepare meals this week, I was
looking for something that would last, leftovers included. I needed something
light, but with enough depth in flavor and substance so I could feel full—it is
a soup after all.
The West Coast Kale and Quinoa Vegetable Soup Mix that I prepared did just that. It gains its
hunger-satisfying substance from white quinoa and flakes of kale and butternut
squash that are freeze dried to preserve nutrition. A
vegetarian and certified gluten-free soup, it gratifies
consumers' desires for delicious and easy ways to incorporate nutrient-rich
ancient grains and kale into diets.
I baked a few boneless chicken breasts in the oven
as the soup simmered, tore each apart, and added it into the soup mix with
about ten minutes left. Although the mix has a bounty of vegetables, I added
some tomatoes and a bit more fresh, in-season squash, and the savory seasoning already
included—think garlic, thyme, oregano, rosemary, and a peppercorn blend—provided
a counterpoint to the sweetness of the squash.
These soup mixes were formulated as a response to
consumer’s need for vegetarian soup options, along with an easy way to prepare
them. As fall sweeps in and winter gets set to show its face, be sure to stock
your shelves with these types of hearty, homemade-in-minutes soups.
