5 Delicious, Almost-Instant Soups with Local Bone Broth
As the weather cools and soups start to call our names, there’s no better way to warm up than with local, nutrient-packed ingredients. At Piedmont Fresh, we love showing how one batch of local bone broth can become the base for multiple soups that are quick, comforting, and full of flavor.
1. Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
Celebrate fall flavors with locally grown butternut and acorn squash and garlic from Sunflower Hill Farm. Sauté, then add Piedmont Fresh Rocky Forge Beef Bone Broth and simmer until tender. Blend until smooth for a velvety, cozy soup that highlights the best of local produce.
2. Classic Chicken Noodle Soup
Use Sunflower Hill Farm LLC chicken bones for broth as your base. Add Sunflower Hill Farm chicken and seasonal vegetables. Toss in your favorite noodles, season with fresh herbs, and enjoy a timeless, nourishing bowl that warms from the inside out.
3. Hearty Vegetable Soup
Take advantage of seasonal produce from Piedmont Fresh farms! Simmer chopped zucchini, kale, bell peppers, or carrots in Crossings chicken broth with a touch of thyme and rosemary. Add beans for extra protein and you’ve got a filling, colorful soup.
4. Spicy Thai Coconut Soup
Combine Piedmont Fresh Rocky Forge Beef Bone Broth with coconut milk, ginger, lemongrass, and lime juice. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or local tofu for a fragrant, tangy soup that packs a flavor punch in minutes.
5. Zuppa Toscana with Kale
Simmer kale and potatoes in Crossings chicken broth, adding crumbled sausage or Sunflower Hill Farm chicken if you like. Finish with a splash of cream for richness. Serve alongside Ashe County cheeses from Sandy Creek Farm and bake-to-order bread from Rabble & Rise for a truly comforting, hearty meal.
