As the cool breeze starts to sweep in and we watch the leaves turn shades of gold and orange, there’s nothing like a cozy bowl of soup to warm up our days. Fall is here, and with it comes the season of comfort foods—especially soups. I’ve found that soups are not just simple to make, but they’re also perfect for using Thrive Life freeze-dried ingredients, which make cooking faster and healthier, without losing flavor.


If you’re like me, you don’t always have fresh veggies or proteins on hand when you need them, and prepping everything can feel like a hassle. That’s where dehydrated and freeze-dried ingredients come in—making it easier than ever to have delicious, nutritious meals ready in minutes, without chopping or peeling. So, let’s dive into some warm and hearty soups that will keep you and your family cozy all season long!


Why Thrive Life Freeze-Dried Ingredients Are Perfect for Soups

There’s something magical about opening a premade "meal in a jar" of freeze-dried veggies, meat, or even cheese, and knowing it’s ready to toss straight into your pot. Whether you’re making a quick weeknight dinner or meal prepping for the week, Thrive Life ingredients are a game-changer. They save time (no more chopping or waiting for meat to defrost) and still retains all the flavor and nutrients you need.


With the longer shelf life, you can stock up and always have what you need on hand, even when you haven’t made it to the store. No more scrambling for missing ingredients—these freeze-dried foods will save the day! Plus, soups are the perfect canvas for getting creative with your ingredients.


Soups as Meals in a Jar: Just Dump, Cook, and Enjoy!

If you love the convenience of quick meals, you'll want to try making soups as "meals in a jar." By layering Thrive Life freeze-dried ingredients like veggies, proteins, and seasonings into mason jars, you can create shelf-stable, ready-to-go meals that only need water and heat. Imagine having jars of creamy potato soup, hearty beef stew, or veggie-packed chicken noodle soup stocked in your pantry, ready to be dumped into a pot and cooked in minutes. These meal jars save you time and stress, and they’re perfect for busy days when you want something homemade without the effort. Plus, they make great gifts for friends and family who need easy dinner solutions!

Tips for Customizing Your Soups


The best part about soups? They’re so versatile! You can easily mix and match different Thrive Life ingredients to create a soup that fits your cravings. Want to add more protein? Toss in some freeze-dried sausage crumbles or chicken slices. Need a veggie boost, a different seasoning theme? Sky is the limit! Make it YOUR recipe.


If you have picky eaters at home, try blending some of the veggies into the broth—it’s a sneaky way to add more nutrition without anyone noticing. And don’t forget the spices! A little garlic, onion powder, or even a pinch of nutmeg can take your soups from good to great.
