Soup or main course in 20 minutes?

Many recipes promise this miracle, but they often overlook the most time-consuming part—preparation. Cooking can be a time-intensive task, especially if we want to serve delicious meals made from fresh ingredients. Alongside various cooking hacks, Eisberg’s new, ready-to-cook, healthy “Ready to Cook” products offer a helping hand in the prep work, which makes up a significant part of cooking. These washed, chopped, fresh vegetable mixes enable the preparation of soups—using the Soup Base mix—salads, or vegetable one-pot meals with the addition of the Pad Thai or Wok mixes. This way, we save time and can truly prepare tasty and nutritious meals quickly, making it easier to maintain a balanced and varied diet.

Soup: A Good Choice Even in Summer

Soups aren’t just comforting in winter—they’re excellent all year round. Thanks to their high water content, they help hydrate the body, which is especially important during the warmer months. Soups can be prepared in many variations: meaty, vegetable-based, creamy, or clear, so everyone can find their favorite. Moreover, soups are not only delicious but also easy to digest, making them gentle on the stomach.

“Soup is valuable for our bodies, especially if it contains plenty of vegetables, as this increases its vitamin, mineral, and fiber content. Soup also reduces hunger, so people tend to eat smaller portions of the main course, which can mean lower fat and calorie intake if they make conscious food choices,” highlighted Kinga Shenker-Horváth, Eisberg’s expert dietitian. She added: “Soup is one of the tastiest and most versatile dishes, providing both nourishment and hydration. With their variety of colors, aromas, and flavors, soups positively impact our health.”

Tasty Alternatives: Vegetable One-Pot Meals

With pre-chopped, packaged vegetables, you can make not only soups but also vegetable-based one-pot meals. These dishes are not only quick and easy to assemble but also provide a complete meal when combined with protein sources (such as meat or fish) and carbohydrates (such as rice or pasta). The new, innovative vegetable mixes come in various options inspired by international cuisines, be it Asian, Indian, or Mediterranean. Dishes made from these vegetable mixes offer a unique gastronomic experience, blending the flavors of other nations with elements of traditional Hungarian cuisine.

Judit Szalai, Sales Manager at Eisberg Hungary Kft., added: “We created Eisberg’s fresh, Ready-to-Cook product range to respond to today’s demands and make quick and healthy eating accessible for everyone. The pre-portioned servings for 2–3 people allow for better planning, reducing unnecessary food waste.”
