This January, make sure you spend some time celebrating National Soup Month!  It is one of our favorite months here at E. Armata Inc., as vegetables play a vital role in what makes a soup so delicious.  However, you’ll need to use the best ingredients to make sure this dish comes out just right.  That is one of the many reasons our team is committed to always distributing fruits and vegetables of the highest degree.  The quality of ingredients will always make the meal, which is why we never distribute anything less than the top. 

Benefits Of Soup

Though it’s easy to think of soup as just an appetizer that prepares you for the main course, this dish deserves more credit.  Since it’s National Soup Month, our team here at E. Armata Inc. wants to highlight some of the benefits soup can bring:

  • Traditional soup preparation can warm-up you up on a cold day and ease cold symptoms.
  • All of our high-quality produce can be worked into a soup, making the nutritional benefits endless.
  • The amount of broth in a soup can have you feeling full and satisfied while cutting back on your caloric intake.

Our Top Soup Choices

One of the best parts about soup is that even if they are considered to be meat-based, vegetables still help to make up the dish.  The possibilities may be endless when it comes to concocting a soup, but one thing is certain; all of the produce we distribute can be used to enhance it.  Here are some of our favorite soups that E. Armata Inc.’s line of vegetables would go perfectly in:

  • Potato Leek.
  • Beef Barley.
  • Chicken Noodle.
  • Tomato. 
  • Beef Stew.
  • Minestrone.
  • Broccoli Cheddar.

Celebrate National Soup Month With E. Armata Inc.

What better way is there to bring in this new decade than by celebrating National Soup Month? The American Heart Association recommends consuming eight or more servings of fruit and vegetables each day, and eating soup can help achieve this goal!  And when eating fruits and vegetables, why would you settle for anything less than the top quality? The answer is you shouldn’t, which is the brick that E. Armata Inc. has been built on since the beginning. We distribute the highest quality produce available, so make sure you head to the store today to pick some up and enjoy National Soup Month with us!
