When it comes to choosing an alternative to classic soups like chicken noodle or Italian wedding soup with meatballs, vegetarian consumers often have to settle for lackluster canned alternatives that just so happen to be made without meat—but Gardein introduced a range of Plant-Based Soups that are full of flavor and texture-rich meatless alternatives.
The new Plant-Based Soups from Gardein reinvent some of the most classic kinds of soup with its popular meatless products. The Chick'n Noodl' Soup has chunks of plant-based Chick'n and the Saus'ge Gumbo soup has meat-like chunks mixed in with bell peppers, white rice, okra, celery and other hearty ingredients.
While many plant-based consumers may be familiar with canned vegetable soup, Gardein is now offering a Be'f & Vegetable Soup that has the potential to appeal to vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians alike.
