Soups Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
- Ready-to-serve soups, also commonly known as RTS soups, are the most preferred soups of today because of their convenience.
- Condensed wet soups, on the other hand, need some preparation by adding an equal amount of water or some type of liquid.
- Dry or dehydrated soups also need some preparation and contain agglomerated starches that dissolve easily in hot liquids.
- Refrigerated soups have the shortest shelf life, and often the foundation is a mixture of stock made from mirepoix and bouquet garni.
- Frozen soups have a conveniently longer shelf life.
- Ramen is a simple type of noodle in bouillon or broth, usually dehydrated.
Soups are popular among consumers as filling and tasty dishes that can be both healthy and inexpensive. Consumption of low-energy dense foods such as soups can lead to long-term health and weight loss benefits.
