A Hot New Take On Soup
The news is out, and everyone from Veg News and Food Business News to vegan blog The Beet can’t stop talking about Gardein’s new line of plant-based soups. And yes, they even make your favorite: Chicken Noodle (without the real chicken OR the egg in the noodles).
As Conagra’s meatless darling, Gardein is a brand I’m personally attached quite attached to. (Picture me saying this in a cheesy 90s infomercial: “I’m not only the writer. I’m also a customer.”) That’s why it was such an honor to be asked to write the copy for their five new vegan soups made with plant-based Gardein chick’n, be’f and saus’ge (gotta love those legal spellings).
Check out the copy for all the slurp-tastic flavors below. You’ll notice the last line is always the same, and that’s by design. I got the opportunity to develop a new tagline to explain the origin of the Gardein name, and it’s now making its way onto packages across multiple categories: Where there’s garden-grown protein, there’s Gardein.
Chick’n Noodl’
The one. The only. The classic: Chick’n Noodl’. It’s practically soup royalty, and now this cozy favorite is loaded with tender chunks of plant-based chick’n, plump vegan noodl’s, carrots and celery in a sippable, slurpable savory broth. Because where there’s garden-grown protein, there’s Gardein.
Chick’n & Wild Rice
What’s warm, wild and tempting all over? This crave-worthy Chick’n & Wild Rice soup will bowl you over with tender chunks of plant-based chick’n, wild and white rices, thick-cut carrots and celery all simmered in a blend of classic spices. Because where there’s garden-grown protein, there’s Gardein.
Minestrone
So much delicious. So little time. This must-have Minestrone goes all out with thick slices of plant-based Italian saus’ge, plump vegan noodl’s, chickpeas, green beans, tomatoes, kidney beans and more. It’s satisfaction by the spoonful (and then some). Because where there’s garden-grown protein, there’s Gardein.
Italian Wedding
This hearty Italian Wedding soup is exactly what it sounds like: a perfect marriage of warm, comforting ingredients. Open wide and say, “I do” to plant-based mini meatballs, plump vegan noodl’s, carrots and spinach in a lightly seasoned broth. Because where there’s garden-grown protein, there’s Gardein.
Be’f & Vegetables
Be’f & Vegetables. It sounds like one delicious duo, but it’s actually a triple-threat of tender plant-based be’f, hearty homestyle broth, and a country blend of carrots, potatoes and peas. So, consider your cravings and taste buds satisfied. Because where there’s garden-grown protein, there’s Gardein.
Saus’ge Gumbo
Southern-style comfort for the win! Indulge your senses in this satisfying Saus’ge Gumbo with thick slices of seasoned plant-based saus’ge, white rice, okra, celery, red bell peppers and Cajun spices. It’s a carnival of flavor in every bite and slurp. Because where there’s garden-grown protein, there’s Gardein.
So, Gardein is officially in the soup business, and I hope you get your spoon warmed up for winter. Because I don’t know about you, but it’s hotter than hell here right now. I’d sort of rather have a frozen margarita at the moment…
