The mother of two and blogger Katie Workman is here to talk about her soup. Lets talk about soup. Absolutely. Im very happy to be joining you on behalf of Garden Fresh Gourmet and their fresh soups. Found in the refrigerator section of your supermarket. They come in wonderful flavors, tomato soup, and chicken noodle and chicken tortilla soup. And what i love about the soups, they are the classic flavors, they have a modern twist to them. When you read the ingredient lists, you can pronounce everything, you are recognize everything. It feels like ingredients that refrigerator, and your own pantry. Theres a homemade quality to the taste. Im glad you brought that up. I noticed that there are no artificial sweeteners and no msg.

What the soups has in them feels good, and what they dont have in them. It makes it feel like the homemade feel. You are eating something good. How do we make a whole meal out of the soups . With soup i think of corn bread. It is the perfect wing man. I came up with a Cheddar Cheese corn bread, that has it on top and inside of the corn bread. And the recipe for that is on mom. Com. For the chicken noodle soup, you can go with the soup cracker or parmesan. Thats a good choice. Couple of handfuls of popcorn is a lot more fun. You can see that we have pumpkin seeds and crushed tortilla chips, seeds, sunflower seeds. You can play around. If you put out a number of toppings and a couple of soups can top their bowl however they want to. It is more personal. It is great. I want to go back to that tomato soup. I would add a Grilled Cheese sandwich. And you can cut them into little pieces and float them on top. Thats a great idea. When people say corn bread, i want honey on top of it as well. And cayenne. You can blend honey can soft butter and you can spread that on top. I know you do a lot of cooking at home. How do you best warm them up . Do you add anything to the pot when you are heating them up . The great thing, these can be heated in the microwave or on the stove. It Takes Minutes either way. Balanced. They have a lovely flavor. If you like hot sauce, you can add a shot or two of hot sauce. Something else, maybe swirl black olive or pesto. You can heat them up, look in the door of your refrigerator at you will of the things you negligent. And figure out which might pair up with the soups. Personalize it just a little bit.
