Besides many vegetarian soups are great even when served at room temperature or chilled. Think gazpacho!<\/li>\n<li>When breaking the fast, a small cup or bowl of soup can help your body ease into eating food again. Going straight to your stomach, it actually prepares it for the next thing you feed it.<\/li>\n<li>Soups are a great extender- it can feed a lot of people with fewer ingredients, making it an economical dish that is perfect for large families or hosting large amounts of people.<\/li>\n<li>Soups help your weekly menu,&nbsp;<em> a LOT.&nbsp;<\/em>Why? Because all you have to do is make a huge pot of of it and a family of four to six can have it for at least a couple of days. Most soups also freeze well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m a fan of soups, especially vegetarian ones so I may be a bit biased on the taste of it all, but the truth is that soups are a great accompaniment to main meals for all of the above reasons. The trick really is getting the base flavor done right, which all depends on what you want your soup to taste like, in terms of type of cuisine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17011\" src=\"http:\/\/myhalalkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SR-Vegetable-broth-vertical.jpg\" alt=\"SR Vegetable broth vertical\" width=\"550\" height=\"830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myhalalkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SR-Vegetable-broth-vertical.jpg 550w, https:\/\/myhalalkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SR-Vegetable-broth-vertical-300x453.jpg 300w, https:\/\/myhalalkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SR-Vegetable-broth-vertical-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/myhalalkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/SR-Vegetable-broth-vertical-278x420.jpg 278w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This soup I&#8217;m showing you how to make here is more of a Mediterranean style soup, but much of the ingredients grow in my Illinois backyard during the summer, so it can very well be an all-American summer soup recipe, too.
