Family Features) - No matter what time of year, selecting in-season produce and
natural ingredients helps ensure that meals taste their best. In the cooler
months, try using vegetables like carrots, pumpkin and butternut squash to
provide the perfect flavor for seasonal favorites like stews and soups.
To create a great-tasting homemade soup, start with broth, which provides a
flavorful foundation for any recipe. For the most delicious flavor, select a
broth with high-quality ingredients like 100% natural Swanson chicken broth.
It's a blend of chicken stock that has been perfectly simmered with delicious
garden vegetables and sun-drenched herbs, making it ideal for soup as well as a
variety of other dishes.
Next, hit the produce department to pick up some in-season vegetables. Many
grocers offer pre-washed and pre-cut produce, which in addition to being at the
peak of flavor, can help save time in the kitchen.
Butternut Squash Soup with Sage is simple to prepare and takes advantage of
fresh, natural ingredients. A savory base of chicken broth combines with
butternut squash, Granny Smith apples and ground coriander, to create a silky
smooth soup that can be served as a hearty starter or light meal. Visit www.SwansonBroth.com and www.CampbellsKitchen.com for more recipes.
