You can use them in your regular soup recipes instead of broth or bouillon. These are some ideas for soups that you can make with BariatricPal Protein Bouillon and Broth.
- Chicken soup with celery, carrots, and onions.

- Pork, chicken, or turkey sausage with greens and edamame.
- Tex Mex-inspired soup with ground turkey, black beans, cumin, oregano, and chili powder, and topped with sour cream, shredded lettuce, and cheese.
The possibilities are endless. Just add your favorite ingredients, and know that you can get protein and nutrients in a filling, easy soup. To make BariatricPal Protein Bouillon and Broth, all you have to do is dissolve a packet in boiling water. Each packet serves one, so you can use multiple packets if you want to make a big batch of soup.
Creamy High-Protein Soup
BariatricPal Protein Soups also come in creamy flavors, such as Cream of Broccoli, Cream of Mushroom, Cream of Chicken, and Cream of Vegetable. They may sound and taste decadent, but these creamy soups are high in protein and low in calories compared to regular cream soups. To make them chunkier but keep them low in carbs, you can add items such as chopped broccoli, mushrooms, chicken, and any type of vegetables, including ready-to-use frozen vegetables.
Adding Other Protein Sources
You can also put additional sources of protein into your delicious soup recipes. Leftover (or freshly made) cooked chicken, ground turkey, soy protein, fish, shrimp, and tofu are a few ideas. Beans and lentils also add protein, not to mention fiber. You can also get creative with sources such as Protein Pasta for chicken noodle, minestrone, and other soups with pasta in them.
It’s easy to add protein to your favorite soup. One way is to add protein foods such as chicken, fish, beans, ground turkey, or tofu. Another strategy is to use BariatricPal Protein Bouillon and Broth as a base. That way, your soup is sure to taste good and have a good dose of protein in every serving. It’s a good way to make nutritious, hearty meals for weight loss!
