Healthy Homemade Soups on the Go Part 3

Now, what about that blender?  It’s a bit difficult to eat soup the traditional way while driving and if you are serving to your kids, the combination of a car and soup in a bowl is a disaster waiting to happen.  Here’s where the blender comes into the picture.

Pour some of the soup into the blender and blend until the pieces are small enough for you to swallow without choking. You can even puree the soup completely if you’d prefer. For a thicker texture, add a bit of cream, though watch the calories. Now, your soup is ready for distributing in your to-go cups.

The ideal cup would be a travel mug with a lid. These types of cups have a wide opening perfect for drinking soups from.

Another great thing about soup is you can make it in large quantities with very little effort, and some variation from one batch to the next. Make vegetable with pasta in one portion, with rice in the next.

Be sure to prepare enough soup for the entire week. You can take the soup with you while you’re out shopping, working in the garden, or to work.  A cup of soup is packed with healthy nutrients and it won’t mess up the car or cramp your busy lifestyle.  The next time you don’t have time to eat, reach for a cup of healthy homemade soup instead of pulling into that fast food drive thru. Your waistline and your family will thank you for it.
