Some of the simplest, most nutritious sources of nutrition
available for our diets are soups. There are many good sources for soups, but
the healthiest are usually the homemade variety made from scratch or a mix
requiring a broth. Even a novice cook is able to prepare a hearty, nutritious
soup by throwing together a few basic ingredients like carrots, potatoes and
other vegetables.
Although some vitamins can be lost during the slow cooking of
vegetables, soups made from natural ingredients still provide an excellent
variety of nutrients including vitamins, minerals and protein. Some vitamin
loss can be minimized by adding fresh vegetables towards the end of the cooking
process, bringing the soup to a boil, and cooking only until the added
vegetables are barely tender.
Making your own soup allows you to control the salt content,
an option you don’t have when cooking or serving the canned variety of soup or
instant soup mixes which are highly processed. Some experts have described
instant soup mixes as nothing more than a mix of MSG, artificial flavors,
sodium, dyes and additives.
The soup mixes offered on the O’Meagher Farms website are
made of all natural ingredients. Preparation simply requires the addition of
broth, or other fresh ingredients. Some of the soup recipes call for the
addition of certain meat items like shredded chicken or sausage, which can
always be substituted for or eliminated for strict vegetarians.
