Tasty Soup Tips When You're on the Go!

There is nothing more comforting, nourishing, and heart healing than a delicious bowl of homemade soup.  And just like any soup, stew, or sauce, it's even better the next day.  But how do you maximize your next-day-soup-for-lunch taste and make it convenient?  We've come up with a few tips on how while also minding that waistline!

Check out these tips and let us know!

1. Store your delicious liquid in glass mason jar or steel lined bpa-free thermos.  Although the plastic alternative may seem lighter in weight and a bit more convenient, it is also a retainer of past foods and their lingering flavors.  Trust me, you can taste the difference immediately and you'll never go back to the plastic!
2. Leave the bowls at home....grab a mug instead!  This 'mini receptacle with a hook' is less cumbersome and tends to be smaller  than that of a regular bowl, making it a wonderful tool for portion control!  And if you're like most, you probably already have a few sitting on your desk at this very moment.  Grab it, clean it, and house your next serving of steamy goodness in it!   What's more, it comes with a built-in handle for added portability ;-) 
3. Now, we stated earlier that fresh prepared soup is indeed gets better over time allowing the seasonings to marinate just right.  However, a grilled cheese sandwich, not so much.  So just in case you forgot the other half of your grilled cheese sandwich from the night before (lucky you!), or simply have no desire to re-create one in your cramped office break room, try grabbing some herb croutons and/or french fried onions to top your soup!  These delicious additions provide awesome flavor, great texture, and the dunk-your-grilled-cheese-in-your-soup effect, minus the hassle, and coincidentally with less calories! 

Soups on, enjoy!
