Soups have been used as a base for sauces, entrees, and complete meals. Many of Soups From Me To You selections can be transformed into something a little more by adding your choice of fixin’s to any of our Soups. Today, we’ll tell you about ‘dressing up’ our Cream of Mushroom Bisque.
Cream of Mushroom Bisque can be dressed up by adding thinly sliced mushrooms (fresh or sauteed), fresh peas, or sautéed/caramelized onions adding when heating. If you’d like a little more protein in your soup, add bits of cooked ham, bacon, crispy prosciutto, smoky cheese, a swirl of sour cream or yoghurt or a sprinkle of parmesan. You can top off with gluten –free or regular croutons, buttery crackers or bread crumbs.

Whether you are reminiscing or planning your wedding, this a great time to try Soups From Me To You Newest addition, Italian Wedding Soup.
Soups From Me To You has added a new Soup, Italian Wedding Soup, just in time for Valentine’s Day! The Soup has a savoury taste consisting of a delicious broth, tiny tasty (pork, beef) meatballs, baby spinach and lovely ribbons of parmesan cheese. Did you know how this Soup got its name? The term “wedding soup” comes from the Italian language phrase “minestra maritata” (“married soup“). The thought was the flavours produced by the unity of all ingredients aka “marriage”. The balance of flavours was so delicious and balanced it was perfect to serve at a wedding. That said the original Italian meaning for the Soup really had nothing to do with a “marriage/wedding of two people” but a marriage between vegetables 😍
For a Family Soup Feast, start with two or three different Soups. Soups From Me To You started 3 years ago, providing Soups for Elementary School children’s lunches. The student’s favorites were Tomato Soup, Chicken Vegetable Soup, Potato Soup, Broccoli Chowder and the low-heat Southwest Veggie Chili.
Some of the names have evolved, and Soups From Me To You now has Broccoli Chowder, Garden Chicken Vegetable, Hearty Potato, Simply Potato (vegan), and Roasted Garlic Tomato Bisque. These are gluten and dairy free, and most are within the >5% low sodium and vegan.
Most family members enjoy different vegetables, noodles and rice, herbs and spices, cheeses, crackers and croutons. A Soup Smorgasbord is a perfect way to try your personal favorites in different Soups and share your tasty Soup with others. Soups are a perfect way to sample additions and garnishes. Including your younger family members in the selection of Soups they like or would like to try, makes a great family activity. 
For the picky eaters of vegetables, young and old, puree some vegetables, add to our Soups and increase the vitamin, nutrient and fiber content. This may improve a child’s tolerance of a veggie they may not like, but don’t mind when it is in a Soup. This is a great way to experiment to find out what members of your family like. It is also a way of taking a nutritious staple as Soup and customize the dish to your family’s individual tastes.
Select a few delicious Soups from our menu and then dress them up! Everyone has different vegetables, crackers, spices they like. You can heat the Soup, and then add your selections, heating the Soup a little longer to blend all the flavours. Or you can serve the warm Soup and garnish the Soup with your toppings.
Additions and Garnishes can be gluten-free and vegan. There is a great variety of gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan cheeses crackers, crotons that you can add to your Soup. Don’t forget tortilla strips, and for a crowd and conversation pleaser, crush one, or a variety of the more than 15 flavours of DoritosTM and sprinkle on your Soup!
Fresh broccoli florets, green onions, thinly sliced cherry tomatoes or julienne carrots, are just a few of the vegetables you can add to soup. You can also add grilled sautéed vegetables as mushrooms, onions and caramelized onions or pearl onions. Or spice up your Soup by adding paprika, parsley, chili flakes, cumin or oregano, etc.
For a heartier Soup, try crumbled cooked bacon, ham or prosciutto bits, or regular, gluten-free or vegan cocktail meatballs. An addition of cheese that is dairy free, gluten free, vegan, low sodium as a crumble of cheese of any variety makes the Soup heartier or a dollop of cream, sour cream, cream, or yoghurt creates a creamer Dish. Have left over rice, egg, rice and wheat noodles and pasta; simply add to your Soup!
