Fall Ingredients to Upgrade Your Power Provisions Soups

As the weather gets cooler, there’s nothing better than a warm bowl of soup. Power Provisions offers great flavors like Chicken Vegetable and Cheddar Broccoli, and you can easily enhance these soups with some seasonal ingredients. Here’s how to make your soups even better this fall.

Chicken Vegetable Soup: Pairings

Our Chicken Vegetable Bone Broth Soup is a deliciously cozy, low-carb, and high-protein option that's perfect for any time of day. To enhance its flavors this fall, consider pairing it with some seasonal ingredients. Here are a few great additions to make your soup even more satisfying!

Butternut Squash and Carrots  

Adding roasted butternut squash and carrots can really upgrade your Chicken Vegetable Soup. The squash adds creaminess and sweetness, while the carrots provide color and crunch. Just peel and dice the squash, toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast it until soft. Stir in some chopped carrots for extra flavor.

Kale or Swiss Chard

Leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard are great additions that boost nutrition. Chop them up and stir them in during the last few minutes of cooking. This keeps them vibrant and adds a nice texture.

Mushrooms

Sautéed mushrooms add an earthy flavor that works well with the chicken and vegetables. Use cremini or button mushrooms—just slice them and sauté in olive oil before adding them to the pot.

Thyme and Sage

Fresh herbs like thyme and sage can enhance the flavor of your soup. Add them towards the end of cooking for a fresh finish. A sprinkle can make a noticeable difference.

Cheddar Broccoli Soup: Pairings

Our Cheddar Broccoli Soup is a wonderfully cozy, low-carb, and high-protein choice that’s perfect for any time of day. To elevate its flavors this fall, consider adding some seasonal ingredients. Here are a few delicious options to make your soup even more satisfying!

Pumpkin 

Pumpkin can add creaminess and a hint of sweetness to your Cheddar Broccoli Soup. You can use canned pumpkin or fresh puree. Blend it in after your broccoli has softened for a smooth texture that pairs well with the cheddar.

Apples

For a unique twist, try adding diced apples. They bring sweetness that contrasts nicely with the savory cheese. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they’re tart. Sauté them with onions before adding them to the soup for extra flavor.

Leeks

Leeks offer a mild onion flavor that can enhance your soup. Sauté chopped leeks until soft, then add them to your Cheddar Broccoli Soup for added sweetness.

Chestnuts

Roasted chestnuts add a nice crunch and nutty flavor. Chop them up and stir them in just before serving to keep their texture. They go well with the broccoli and cheddar.

Cinnamon or Nutmeg

A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can add warmth to your Cheddar Broccoli Soup. These spices enhance the savory flavors without overwhelming them. Just a little goes a long way, so add it slowly and taste as you go.

Putting It All Together

To enhance your Power Provisions soups, start by following the package instructions. Once the soup is simmering, add your seasonal ingredients one at a time and adjust the flavors as needed.

Using seasonal ingredients in your Power Provisions soups is a simple way to make them even better this fall. Whether you choose to add roasted squash and kale to your Chicken Vegetable Soup or pumpkin and apples to your Cheddar Broccoli, these upgrades will keep your meals interesting and satisfying. Enjoy a warm bowl of soup that fits the season!
