Soup Explorers

Soup Explorers set out to offer better-for-you, globally inspired soup flavors over a year ago. With great sadness, we share that our entrepreneurial journey has come to an end. This difficult decision was not made lightly, and we remain forever thankful to our consumers, partners and mentors who supported us, cheered us on, and mentored us through this incredible experience. We will be forever grateful. Here are some pics of the wonderful people and memories we’ve shared with you. Happy Holidays! Here’s to a brighter new year ahead.

This week, we bring you flavors from Morocco with a Moroccan Harira Soup. Harira is derived from the word “silk” in Arabic and is commonly served to break the fast during Ramadan. This traditional soup is made with tomatoes, chickpeas and lentils and you can add meat, traditionally lamb; however, we chose to go down the veggie route, and boy – did we land somewhere magical! This silky soup is so comforting - the spices add amazing depth and warmth to the soup and the chickpeas, lentils and pasta made this dish incredibly satisfying. Can’t wait to have this soup again and hopefully, enjoy it one day in Morocco once it’s safe to travel again. Until then, join us in giving this soup a try and daydreaming about a trip to Morocco! Would love to hear your thoughts on this soup or any others you would like us to try!

We’re back to bring you a little bit of France to your home. Pot au feu (‘pot on the fire’) is a traditional French dish made of boiled meats, typically beef, and vegetables. Some historians believe that the origins of Vietnamese Pho were inspired by this dish given the closeness in pronunciation of “feu” and “pho” as well as the French’s appreciation for cows as a food source vs. working animals in the rice fields. Traditionally, you can enjoy this dish separately as broth, followed by the meat and veg course, but we love it as a stew, paired with a glass of Bordeaux. We made this dish in the Instant Pot to speed up the cooking process and so you can enjoy at home on a weeknight. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think! Bon Appetit!

Ochazuke (Japanese Steeped Rice “Soup”) - a traditional dish made with steamed rice and piping hot green tea as your broth! We added some baked salmon and a poached egg and topped with nori, sesame seeds, scallions and red pepper flakes. It’s fragrant, delicious and quick for a yummy weekday meal. Follow us next week as we try and share another recipe idea to bring global soup flavors home!
