Clour Soups

Winter23

Ok I have decided I am going to buy some of these as No one seems to have anything bad to say about them. I was wondering though, What could I gice my DH to eat with them so he feels full and satisfied. The soup containes a fair amount of sodium so I am having trouble figuring out what to eat with it. The soup is just fruit and veggies. So adding more veggies like a salad just doesn't make any sense. Has anyone used these soups as a sauce for chicken? What kind of seasonings did you add (if you had too).

I would add more veggies and perhaps some chicken but be careful on the sodium...its really decieving and can pack a lot of water weight.

Are these soups you make up yourself? I've never heard of them. :embarassed:

What is Clour soup?

Also - if you want to watch the sodium, make your own soup from scratch. I buy a whole chicken and make broth from it on day one (crockpot - fill it with water, an onion and the chicken), and then on day two use the broth (strain and remove fat) and shred chicken plus whatever veggies and spices you want and crock it until veggies are tender. Yum! This way you have total control over what is in your soup.

You can make veggies soup in the same way - just omit the chicken and use more veggies to make veggie broth.

Maybe she means flour soup? the c and the f are together, and there are lots of websites for flour soups, but none for clour. That would be my guess...

Sorry it's Knorr colour soups. I could make my own I guess but it's a lot of work and could be expensive. They have 4 different soups, Green, red, yellow and orange. They are a mixture of fruit and veggies of like colours. I usually have trouble getting enough sodium so I'm not worried about for me. But for my DH to be full and satisfied I need to add more to it.

Google Knorr Colour Soups and you should be able to find it. Each serving has 1 serving of fruit and 1 serving of veggies. My DH won't eat most of the veggies that are in it, but in combination with seasoning and some chicken with it he might. But like tomato soup for instance you can use for other recipes and not just as soup. I was hoping to find cassarole idea's that these would work in.

I think casseroles might be a little harder with these soups, because they seem to be more of a veggie puree. You'd have to add something like milk or a thickener maybe, or use it as a sauce to cook chicken breasts or pork chops in. As for filling up the soups, as soups...I find adding grains like rice, bulgur or barley is always filling. And then meats like others have suggested like chicken, ham, pork are good if meat is important in a meal. And then there is always adding more veggies, but having them stay chunky instead of just blended up.
