Freshen Up Your Soup Game with Farmer’s Market Produce

There’s nothing better than stepping into your local farmer’s market on a sunny day—surrounded by baskets of just-picked veggies, fragrant herbs, and friendly faces. It’s not just about shopping—it’s about inspiration.

This season, bring that freshness home to your kitchen and right into your pot of soup. Our handcrafted Frontier Soups mixes are the perfect base to showcase spring and summer’s best produce. You don’t need a complicated recipe—just a few fresh additions go a long way.

5 Easy Add-Ins from the Market

Here are some of our favorite in-season upgrades for spring and early summer:

  • Asparagus: Add chopped spears to our potato- or corn-based soups for a fresh green pop.

  • New Potatoes: Creamy, thin-skinned spring potatoes are perfect in chowders and hearty stews.

  • Mushrooms: Earthy and savory—try them sautéed and stirred into beef or barley blends.

  • Spring Carrots: Slice them thin for a naturally sweet crunch in lighter brothy soups.

  • Green Onions or Spring Garlic: Add near the end for fresh zip and color.

You can even take it up a notch and bake zucchini or summer squash right into your cornbread!
