There’s nothing better than a hot bowl of soup as the weather turns colder and the leaves begin to fall. This fall I am on a quest to try new to me soups and to venture away from my go-to soups. Some weeks I just don’t have the time to search for a recipe, shop for all the ingredients, and make the soup from scratch, so I love being able to purchase groceries from Relay Foods and to have them delivered straight to my house.
The Relay Foods Meal Planner allows you to pick a recipe, to add all those ingredients to your cart, and then to have them delivered straight to your house!! A win, win for those busy weeks! I mean, look at all these soup recipes! As a working mom, I’ve learned that services like Relay Foods help to simplify my days. I love the ease of ordering online and having everything delivered. It’s one less thing I have to do and I love that!
This week I purchased all of the ingredients for the Thai Coconut Lemongrass Soup and it is a winner! You’ve got to make this soup! We added in chicken for a little protein, but you could totally make it without chicken and even without the noodles. It’s so good! Enjoy!
