Prep & Nutrition
How do I prepare my soup?
We avoid gums, emulsifiers and dairy to keep our ingredients as clean as can be. As a result our soups need a little more love when it comes to preparation - freshly boiled water, a whisk or a fork should do the trick!
Grab your favourite mug or bowl (travel mugs work a treat too) and add 125ml freshly boiled water. Empty your sachet into the mug (on top of the water) and add a further 125ml of hot water. Stir well, rest of 2 minutes then enjoy!
Prefer a thicker soup? Just add less water!
Where can I find ingredient lists and nutritional info?
Please head over to the 'shop' section of our website and click on the individual product listings - scroll through the product images to find more information.
I have a dietary requirement, can I still have these soups?
Yep! Every soup is gluten-free, vegan and free from all 14 major allergens. Our soups are prepared in a SALSA accredited factory so we can be extra sure. If you have any concerns at all, please drop us an email and we will do our best help.
Why are these a healthier alternative to other instant soups?
We champion REAL whole-food ingredients (veggies, herbs and spices) which provide plenty of flavour and essential nutrients. This means we leave out any artificial flavours, colours, preservatives, gums, emulsifers, palm oils or artificial flavour enhancers.
Our soups contain a significantly higher proportion of raw-veg powders which offer an incredibly nutrient rich source of essential vitamins, minerals and fibre.
We source the best quality ingredients from our truster suppliers. Our herbs, spices and vegetable powders have been gently dehydrated at low temperatures in order to preserve as much or the original nutrition as possible. The vegetable powders are super concentrated (a bit like tomato paste you might find in the cupboard at home!) - for example, just 6 grams of beetroot powder (2 teaspoons) is the equivalent of roughly two whole beetroots!
We love dehydrated vegetable powders because they are a great way of naturally extending the shelf life of fresh vegetables and making the most of veggies at their peak harvest. They are often made from 'wonky' veg and help prevent unnecessary food waste.
How are Soul Kitchen soups made?
We select the best dried ingredients and blend each soup in small batches using our secret recipes.
Are your soups spicy?
You certainly won't find out soups bland! Because we try to reduce salt content and don't add any sugar - we've developed our recipes with inspiration from international cuisine (Mexico, Thailand & India). We advise that all our soups are medium in spice but of course everyone's preference is different.
What is the shelf life on your soups?
By choosing to avoid emulsifiers, stabilisers, and artificial preservatives, our shelf life may be slightly shorter than others. We believe natural ingredients are worth it. We aim to give you at least 8 months shelf life on your products but if you have any concerns just drop us an email.
