Fast-serve soup chain Zoup! has launched 'Really Good Culinary Concentrates,' a collection of gourmet broth concentrates designed for home cooking.
The new line-up of broth concentrates comes in three "flavor-forward" variations: 'Chicken Bone Broth,' 'Beef Bone Broth,' and 'Savory No-Chicken Vegan Broth.' All three offerings are entirely free of artificial flavors and ingredients and contain no cheap fillers, preservatives, or added sugar.
The 'Chicken Bone Broth' features the delicious flavor of slow-cooked poultry, making it perfect for making a rich chicken-noddle soup, while the 'Beef Bone Broth' can be added to stews to deliver the taste of slow-roasted premium beef. Of course, Zoup! has also covered the needs of vegan consumers with the 'Savory No-Chicken Vegan Broth' -- a well-balanced umami-based broth with added plant proteins.
