Recipe Hacks That Will Change the Way You Make Soup
Soup is great meal to have and make. It’s easy, fun, usually healthy and allows you to use the minimum amount of supplies in your kitchen. Furthermore, storing and serving soup is easy and stress-free. Here are some tips and hacks that will revolutionize the way you make and prepare soup.
1) Store your soup in the freezer:
Are you busy during the week? Do you not have time to make a dinner every night? Well luckily, you can store soup in containers, Ziploc, glass etc., and put them all in the freezer. This will keep the soup fresh for a longer period of time and allows you to have soup all week long in advance.
2) Make Creamy Soup without Cream:
We all love those creamy. comforting, delicatessen soups. However, they can be generally unhealthy because they are stuffed with cream and other fattening ingredients. However, you can substitute this by using a blender and adding ingredients like butternut squash and pumpkin. They taste wonderful, give your soup a fulfilling flavor and texture and additionally are extremely nutritional. You will not have to use heavy cream again. If you cannot avoid dairy at any cost, feel free to try unsweetened nondairy milk such as pea milk, which has a lot of protein, as well as almond, coconut or oat milk.
3) Reduce the sodium and substitute for other flavors:
If you want to reduce the amount of sodium in your soup but not lose previous flavor, use lots of spices instead. You can get away with using low-sodium chicken or vegetable broths so long as you always load your soup ip with spices like paprika, cumin, pepper etc. They will give your soup a hearty taste and you might not even remember its lacking salt. Also, herbs and spices tend to have better health benefits than excess sodium does.
4) Make a satisfying vegan soup:
Yes, you might want to eat super healthy. But yes, you understand that some vegan stuff might not be that satiating. When making sure your vegan soup is satisfying, you must make sure that it has lots of protein in it. Use high protein vegetables like pea protein and other high-protein plant-based foods.
