While millions tune in for the big game today, some of us might be craving something different (think fluffy robes, not touchdown throws!). And what's better for a wintery day than a steaming bowl of homemade soup? You got it, it’s Souper Bowl Sunday!!
I, for one, am a huge soup enthusiast! Especially this time of year, whipping up a pot of goodness with whatever's in the fridge is like a warm hug for my soul. Plus, with some crusty bread, fresh fruit, and cheese on the side, it becomes a hearty and satisfying meal in itself.
But how often do you make soup? Whether you're a soup master, a casual simmerer, or haven't even dipped your ladle in, here are some reasons to consider this culinary adventure:
The kitchen aroma: Imagine the delicious scent of veggies, herbs, and spices wafting through your home. Pure bliss!
Zen in the kitchen: Chopping, sauteing, simmering – it's almost meditative! ♀️
Batch it up: Make a big pot, freeze portions, and you're set for stress-free lunches or quick dinners later.
Simple & affordable: A few ingredients can transform into a nourishing and tasty masterpiece. Plus, who can resist saving money these days?
Salt control: Ditch the hidden sodium in store-bought soups! You control the amount when you make it yourself.
Curb your cravings: A pre-dinner soup can keep you feeling full and avoid overindulging at the main course.
Veggie power: Sneak in those essential vitamins and minerals with every slurp.
Time-saving savior: Batch cook once a week, freeze, and voila! Instant deliciousness whenever you need it. ⏰
Sodium overload alert! Americans consume way more sodium than recommended, and packaged soups are often culprits. Opt for broths like Kettle & Fire, or make your own! My go-to for store-bought is Pacific Foods Organic Chicken Bone broth (only 90mg!).
