# Savory Soup Bites Trader Joe's French Onion Soup Bites are Dressed with Onions and Cheese By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2018-11-21 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soup-bites References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/french-onion-soup-bites) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Convenient Appetizers:** The trend of creating smaller versions of comforting foods such as soup, presents an opportunity to develop more one-bite appetizers for easy entertaining. - **Frozen Gourmet Food:** The trend of frozen but high-quality food such as Trader Joe's French Onion Soup Bites is an opportunity for companies to create more frozen appetizers and meals to meet consumers' needs for convenience and quality. - **Traditional Foods Remixed:** The trend of remixing traditional foods such as soup into new forms such as bite-size appetizers presents an opportunity to create new and innovative food products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Frozen Food:** The frozen food industry can consider introducing more convenience and high-quality products such as appetizers and meals to meet consumers' evolving needs. - **Appetizer Manufacturing:** The appetizer manufacturing industry can capitalize on the trend of creating smaller versions of traditional foods such as soup and develop more innovative one-bite appetizers for easy entertaining. - **Convenience Food:** The convenience food industry can develop more innovative products such as one-bite appetizers that offer consumers a convenient and flavorful meal without sacrificing quality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Green Bean Casserole Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-bean-casserole-bites.md) - [Onion Soup-Flavored Popcorns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/french-onion-popcorn.md) - [Jam-Filled Brioche Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-brioche-bites.md) - [Bite-Sized Ratatouille Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratatouille-bites.md) - [Frozen Mini Mushroom Tartelettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-mushroom-tartelettes.md) - [Puffed Quinoa Snack Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-seedy-cheese-snack-bites.md) - [Frozen Panzerotti Pizza Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panzerotti-pizza-bites.md) - [Herbaceous Puff Pastry Appetizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/herbes-de-provence-triangles.md) - [Frozen Chocolate Cheesecake Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-cheesecake-bites.md)
