The Secret: Season It Your Way

Each mix is a blank canvas waiting for your signature touch. By adjusting spices and add-ins, you can completely transform the flavor to match your mood or cravings.

Here’s how to make each bowl your own:

1. Go Classic & Cozy

Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder and a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or parsley.

Perfect for: Comfort meals, rainy days or when you want something simple and soothing.

2. Turn Up the Heat

Sprinkle in chili flakes, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce.

Perfect for: Chili lovers and anyone craving bold, warming flavors.

3. Brighten It Up

A squeeze of lemon or lime juice, plus fresh herbs like cilantro or basil, can completely wake up a soup.

Perfect for: Lighter, spring-inspired meals.

4. Build Deep Flavor

Sauté garlic, onions or spices in a bit of oil before adding the soup mix and water. This extra step creates a richer, more complex taste.

Perfect for: Dinner-worthy soups that feel homemade.

5. Make It Creamy & Indulgent

Stir in a splash of milk, coconut milk or a handful of shredded cheese.

Perfect for: Turning a simple soup into a hearty, satisfying meal.

6. Boost It Up

Add fresh or extra dehydrated veggies, beans, noodles or proteins like chicken, tofu or lentils.

Perfect for: Stretching meals and increasing nutrition.

Mix, Match & Share

One of the most fun ways to use the sampler is to turn it into a shared experience:

DIY Soup Bar: Lay out spices, toppings and add-ins so everyone can customize their own bowl
Meal Prep Party: Prepare several variations at once for the week ahead
Family Style: Let each person “design” a soup and swap tastes

No two bowls have to be the same - and that’s the point.
