How do you give soup as a gift?

It may seem counterintuitive to send soup in the mail, but there's no need to be concerned when you order a soup care package from a soup delivery company . Companies that ship perishable food know how to package it properly to ensure it arrives fresh and ready to eat at the intended destination.

How do you jazz up canned lentil soup?

In a saucepan, bring one 19-ounce can lentil soup and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice to a simmer. In a small skillet, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika and a pinch of cayenne pepper over low heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Ladle into bowls and immediately drizzle the spiced oil on top.

How to send homemade soup?

What's the best and safest way to do this? Editor: Your best bet is to freeze the soup, then ship it in a cooler with dry ice to make sure it doesn't melt during the journey.

How do you upgrade canned lentil soup?

Add swirls of pesto, chili crisp, hot sauce, sour cream, or salted yogurt. Garnish your bowl with fried shallots, garlic chips, croutons, or a mish-mash of toasted seeds. Douse tender, fresh herbs—like cilantro, dill, parsley, or basil—in good-quality olive oil and vinegar and pile them on top.

Should lentils be soaked for soup?

The other good news: Lentils don't need to soak as beans do (though you do need to sort and rinse them before cooking). Different types of lentils cook in different amounts of time. Red lentils are the fastest cooking and they dissolve as they cook and make for a smooth soup.

Soup gifts are a great way to say get well or thinking of you . Send a gourmet soup delivery to anyone who loves a delicious bowl of soup but doesn't have the time or energy to prepare a meal.

What is soup etiquette?

Proper soup protocol prescribes that when you're finished with your soup, place your spoon on the right-hand side of your plate, or leave the spoon in the bowl with the handle pointing toward the right . If your soup is served in a cup you should always leave the spoon on the plate when you're finished.

How do you serve soup elegantly?

When serving soup, place the soup plates or bowls on an underplate . When the soup is finished or the spoon is laid down, the spoon is left in the soup plate, not on the dish underneath. If the soup is served in a cup, the spoon is left on the saucer.
