There's no shortage of warm, sweet beverages out there, and for savory lovers who crave something just as comforting and satisfying, there's Soup Latte. Inspired by the way that coffee shops use powdered mixes to create menu items quickly and conveniently behind the counter, Soup Latte created its own take on the powdered format that can be added to a cup with steamed milk and stirred.
Soup Latte's lineup includes Broccoli Cheddar, Truffle Mushroom, Coconut Curry, and Butternut Squash varieties, and each savory beverage mix features real ingredients and added protein, satisfying two cravings in a single cup. Soup Latte's Creamy Tomato flavor matches the smooth vibrancy of sun-ripened tomatoes with savory herbs for a velvety drink that nourishes and hits the spot more than any sugary, syrupy café drink could.
