To transform soup into a complete
meal, all you have to do is add some protein to sustain your family
until the next meal.
To a vegetable or pasta soup, add a portion of meat or meat substitute. This for example could be 75g (2½oz) of chicken or 175ml (3/4 cup) of legumes (lentils, red beans, chick peas).
Other sources of protein you can add to soups are cheese, yogurt, or a hard boiled egg.

- Colourful and savoury, vegetables are just waiting to be pampered! Regardless of the vegetables you choose to put in your soups, the results will always be tasty.
- There is no better way to enjoy vegetables than making soups and freezing them in individual portions. Think of all the time you’ll save preparing lunch and what a comfort to enjoy on a week night.
- When cooking soup, a simple way to add extra flavour is to make a parmesan crust that you can remove at serving time.
- Do not freeze cream soups. Freeze only the soup base. Once you have warmed the base, you can add the chosen milk product (milk, yogurt, cream).
- Leftover cooked or raw vegetables, pasta, rice or meats make wonderful soups in no time at all!
- Vary the presentation of your soups by using different
garnishes: garlic croûtons, parmesan shavings, fresh herbs
(coriander, parsley, basil, chives, thyme, rosemary, etc.), a
dollop of yogurt, a sprinkle of lemon juice, green onions, or
slivered almonds.
