As comforting as a hot bowl of soup can be, it can't compare with the convenience of one-bite appetizers—fortunately, Trader Joe's is now introducing savory soup bites that offer the best of both worlds. The Trader Joe’s French Onion Soup Bites with Caramelized Onions & Swiss Cheese are sold in the frozen section of the store and once prepared, they can be eaten without a spoon.
The soup-inspired savory bites consist of a dough-like wrapper and a rich flavor from a vegetable broth base. A single box contains 12 bites, which makes the product ideal for picking up for an evening of entertaining.
As these bite-size appetizers introduce an entirely new way for consumers to enjoy the flavors of a classic soup, they have the potential to serve as conversation pieces of their own.
