Find these tasty plant-based soup options at your local grocery store.
Nothing’s more nostalgic than a warm bowl of soup on a chilly afternoon. Think tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich. Or how about potato soup with fresh-baked bread? Minestrone, anyone? The aroma of vegetables simmering on the stove offers its own nostalgic vibes. But what if you’re short on time? You’re craving the heartiness that only soup can bring. But you need it microwave-fast. Let these brands lend you a hand at mealtime. Here’s our list of the best store-bought vegan soups to stock your pantry with now.
Is Store-Bought Vegetable Broth Vegan?
First, let’s talk broth. Because hand up if you’ve ever straight up sipped broth from a cup. Yeah, us too. With so many broth options on the market, it can be tough to know what’s plant-based and what’s not. So, is store-bought vegetable broth vegan? Yes, some store-bought vegetable broth can be vegan. But not all are. Read ingredient lists carefully or look for “vegan” on the label. Look for ingredients like carrots, onions, celery, and tomatoes. Avoid broth that contains animal ingredients such as chicken, beef, and fish. Pacific and Imagine brands offer great vegan-friendly vegetable broth options.
Which Store-Bought Soups Are Vegan?
But if you’re looking for something heartier and don’t have time to make your own, broth is a non-issue. You will need to know, instead, which store-bought soups are vegan. That’s where we come in! We’re here to help you stock your pantry and fridge full of delicious, nutritious soups of all kinds.
