Feel SUPER GOOD

Hearty bowls of soup, packed with super food ingredient­s, are the perfect way for you and your family to eat well and feel great

Did you know that the nutritiona­l value of vegetables starts depleting as soon as they’re harvested? Luckily, the freshness and locality of the ingredient­s in Baxters soups mean their inherent goodness is still plentiful when they’re cooked, and gets locked into each tin.

Getting our five-a-day in isn’t as easy as we’d like to imagine – and ensuring the rest of the family are hitting their quota is even trickier. Baxters’ Super Good Range works to pack in the good stuff (yes, tinned soup does count towards that recommende­d daily intake) so you have one less thing to worry about.

Not only is this range bursting with vegetables, but it also contains other ingredient­s that recent studies have found to be beneficial to our health. Take turmeric, for instance: it’s believed that this golden spice has powerful antioxidan­t and antiinflam­matory qualities, while ginger is thought to aid digestion. Keeping up with the latest trends in health and wellbeing, Baxters makes sure its soups really punch above their weight when it comes to nutrition.

As well as including all the good stuff in our diets, we need to make sure we avoid foods that our bodies disagree with. A growing number of us are suffering from intoleranc­es to things like gluten and dairy these days – something that Baxters is more than savvy about. It makes a huge range of gluten-free soups and released the very first Plant Based canned soup this year, after months of developmen­t.

Let’s not forget, though, that feeling good is about more than nutrition. As well as the body, we need to feed the soul – and that’s where the comfort factor comes in. It’s why we turn to bowls of hearty soup to alleviate all kinds of troubles, whether we’ve caught a cold or been caught in the rain. Cupping a hot bowl of broth and ripping up chunks of crusty bread to dunk in its steaming depths is a ritual that will never get old – and one that Baxters makes happily simple with its wholesome heat-and-eat soups.

From developing the very first Vegetarian range of soups in the ‘80s to launching their Plant Based tinned soups earlier this year, the Baxters family is always innovating. These sharp-eyed food lovers are quick to identify food trends and meet our everevolvi­ng demands with their forward-thinking recipes.

Masterchef: The Profession­als semi-finalist Darren Sivewright is a key player and has been part of the Baxters family for a decade. It’s his imaginatio­n and 25 years of experience that informs Baxters’ most contempora­ry recipes, like those in the Super Good range.

Darren brings his love of global flavours to the table: the cuisines of Mexico, Sri Lanka and India heavily influenced the Plant Based range, which was developed to be bursting full of natural, authentic flavour.

Each generation of the Baxters family breathes new life into this famous and innovative soup brand – which we bet you’re looking at in a whole new light now, don’t you agree?
