Making your own soup
Making your own soup is a great way to eat delicious, healthy and easy. First, you decide which ingredients to use. This allows you to choose fresh, pure products without unnecessary additives such as preservatives, too much salt or artificial flavor enhancers. This makes homemade soup a lot healthier than many ready-made varieties.
In addition, homemade soup is packed with nutrients. Vegetables retain their vitamins and minerals, and you can vary plenty of healthy ingredients such as legumes, herbs and spices. This way, your body gets important nutrients and helps strengthen your immune system.
Making your own soup is also surprisingly easy. With just a few ingredients, such as vegetables, broth and herbs, you can have a delicious meal on the table in no time. You can make larger portions and freeze them, so you always have a healthy meal on hand.
Finally, homemade soup is incredibly flavorful. You can experiment with spices and flavors that you like. Whether you choose a creamy pumpkin soup, a spicy Thai soup or a classic tomato soup, the possibilities are endless. In short: making your own soup is tasty, healthy and easy!
Creamy carrot soup
This creamy carrot soup with za'atar, among other ingredients, is packed with texture and flavor. I personally like very thick soups, almost like a puree. You don't like that or find this one too thick? Then you can always add extra broth or water, so it gets the desired thickness for you. I also like to go loose with lots of toppings with different textures. This time I chose parsley, chili flakes, za'atar and pieces of cashew nut, among other things. Delicious.
