  Fall is here and so are cooler temperatures. You might be craving soup and chili. Those type of comfort foods are usually reserved for sit down lunches and dinner. Or maybe soup in bed when you are feeling under the weather. There is a solution! BOU Soup Cups!! They are perfect for busy parents on the go! 


  We all know how busy a Mom can be. Between school drop offs and pick ups, sports practices, game days, dance classes, field trips, work and day to day living. There is not enough time in the day to do it all. I have found BOU Soup Cups to be a great helper. I can take them on the go. Or even pack them for work trips and send them to work with my husband. Our teenager has found they are perfect for after football practice, and when he works as a lifeguard. He needs some quick nourishment and something warm. Our family calls BOU Soup Cups, "Comfort in a Cup" 


  A little about BOU Soup Cups. There are no bad for you ingredients. The packaging is innovative. The cups are made from polypropylene and NOT styrofoam. They are both recyclable and microwaveable. So you get the opportunity to have something good for you and still recycle your packaging. There was so much thought put into the packaging. That makes my heart happy. BOU cares. The cups are insulated to keep your soup warm. 

There are 4 flavors to choose from. 

Classic Chicken Noodle

Harvest Vegetable and Rice

Shiitake Mushroom and Beef 

Two Bean Chipotle-Chili



You might be wondering how do you prepare this? It's simple! 

1. Pour the packets and break the cube into the cup.

2. Add boiling water to the fill line. Stir. Wait 5-7 minutes.

3. Stir Again.

4. Enjoy


If you are using the Microwavable method, it's easy. 

1.Pour the packets and break the cube into the cup.

2. Pour room temperature water to the fill line and put lid back on.

3. Microwave for 3 minutes. 

4. Let cool, stir and enjoy.
