Soup Essentials
(firmenpresse) - MISSION, KS -- (Marketwire) -- 01/10/13 -- (Family Features) Few things warm your body and soul quite like a bowl of hot and hearty soup on a chilly day. Don't be left out in the cold this winter. Make sure you have a pantry stocked with the right ingredients to make a delicious, comforting soup any time your taste buds desire. Here's what you need:
-- Grains, pastas and legumes are a must. They offer filling fiber along with great taste and texture.
Brown rice
Long grain rice
Rigatoni
Small pastas such as orzo or ditalini
Farfalle
Egg noodles
Canned beans such as pinto, black, cannellini/white kidney, and lentils
Couscous
Quinoa or barley
Adding two or three vegetables to a recipe brings color, flavor and vitamins to your soup.
Roasted peppers
Canned corn
Canned tomatoes
Dried mushrooms
Onions
Carrots
Celery
-- For an inexpensive way to season your soup, make your own stock and freeze it for whenever you need it. You can also buy broth at the grocery store and save in your pantry until needed. Either way, make sure to keep a variety on hand for different kinds of soup.
Low sodium chicken broth or stock
Beef broth or stock
Vegetable broth or stock
Soup bases, such as turkey, chicken or beef
