It's soup week at Art of the Table
and we are excited to show off our wares!
Stop by any day, any time this week
and try some of our soup mixes that can make your life oh so fabulous!
I love the Maggie & Mary's mixes for when I come home late and can't decide what to fix...
I love the Purely American mixes for when I have great remnants of veggies and an overnight to soak some beans...
We also have some amazing soup cookbooks with which you can
make your own concoctions as well!

Soup from...

...our friends in Ohio who craft each batch of soups according to his plan. Every one of these soup mixes is a home run every time.
Mama Marino's Minestrone Soup Mix is from Ray's grandmother's recipe. Soak the beans at least 4hours and he instructs, "With Caruso (an Italian tenor) playing in the background"...boil beans and chop veggies (you supply them).
Ray's first flavor, the French Market 18 Bean Soup Mix, is also my favorite. Very flavorful and always better on day 2 or 3...It literally has 18  different beans blended in and takes very little time to prepare.
This weekend I whipped up a batch of the Paso del Rio Chili and these soup mixes fed us many a lunch (at least 16 heaping bowls amongst the crew). It's easy to garnish with tortilla chips, cheese and avocados and such - perfect for the winter we're about to get! (I also recommend sharing a bottle of Palacios' La Montesa, a fab red @ $12 alongside...)
These soups are all around $7 a bag and are worth every penny! Stop by for a few for pantry - or party - provisions this week!

Soup from...Maggie & Mary

If you're looking for easy, it's right here in front of you. While the Purely American soups above take a little bit of effort, these amazingly easy - yet really delicious - soup mixes take virtually no effort whatsoever. I also am happy that Maggie & Mary's soups have freshly dried ingredients and little sodium, most mixes like this aren't this well made!
Let's see...
Step 1 Open box.
Step 2 Open bag.
Step 3 Dump in pan.
Step 4 Add water or can of tomato.
Step 5 Boil.
Step 6 Eat.
Sound like something you can do when you are just tired and roaming in from work...late...again...
These mixes feed about 4 hungry people - of course a little salad or crusty bread never hurt...
