The Baxters plant-based soup range is being expanded by the Scotland-based brand to provide consumers with a nutritious option that will meet their dietary preferences and needs. The soups come in three new flavors including Spiced Red Lentil, Sundried Tomato & Thyme and Thai Yellow Vegetable Curry, which are all vegan-friendly. The soups are positioned as being an easy midweek dinner option or a quick lunch that also contains one of the five recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables per bowl.
Marketing Communications Manager at Baxters Food Group Sarah Knowles spoke on the updated Baxters plant-based soup range saying, "Our Plant Based range has been one of our most successful launches to date and Baxters is delighted to have developed three new vegan soups that we’re proud to add to shelves as part of our Plant Based line-up.
