Here are easy ways to turn a store-bought broth or soup into a hearty
meal:
• Cook extra bacon or sausage at breakfast to crumble into soup for
dinner.
• Dress up soups by topping with garlic croutons, parsley, chives, diced
green onion or fresh basil.
• Use a dollop of sour cream or plain yogurt to add a creamy texture.
• For Mexican-style soup, add black beans, chopped onion and frozen corn
to chicken broth. Top with slivers of avocado, shredded Cheddar cheese
and strips of tortilla chips.
• Toss tortellini or ravioli and fresh or frozen spinach into beef broth
for a quick Italian soup. Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
• Create a Pacific Rim soup with Asian-style frozen vegetables, chow
mein noodles and vegetable broth.
• Keep a bag of shrimp in the freezer and add to a creamy tomato for
quick seafood soup. Add chopped celery and carrots. Top with oyster
crackers.
• Diced potatoes go well in most creamy soups.
• A dash of hot sauce will add volumes of flavor to lentil or navy bean
soups.
• Noodles, dried or frozen, can be added to just about any soup.
• Add ingredients in small increments. It's easier to add more noodles
than scoop them out.
• Think leftovers. Chop up the pork loin and sweet potato wedges from
last night and add to a cream of squash soup for tonight.
• Got the sniffles? Make quick chicken noodle soup by dicing a
store-bought rotisserie chicken. Add the chicken pieces, diced onion and
noodles to a low-sodium chicken broth.
• Pair soup with a salad, corn muffins, grilled cheese sandwiches, a
cheese platter or loaf of artisan bread for a hearty meal.
