We're putting as much real food as we can into each pouch, so it’s loaded with beef and veggies! Get more nutrients and also more flavor – you can taste the difference between real food and fillers. We also add extra beef gelatin to the broth, both for the nutritional value and to enhance the feel of the soup. Gelatin contains collagen, which is one of the materials that make up cartilage and bone. Gelatin is also a rich source of the amino acid glycine, important to many metabolic and healing pathways in the human body. Avoiding irritants like preservatives and soy. 0 added sugars – soup is delicious without it! No added MSG. No yeast or yeast extracts (which have some similar properties to added MSG and may be an issue for some people). And of course no artificial flavors or colors, because the only ingredients are real food! Heat and serve, do not add water. Refrigerate any unused portion immediately. Microwaveable in own pouch: 1. Make a small tear to at top to let out steam. 2. Microwave. Warning, contents will be hot. Our soup is just the good stuff. It's full of meaty vegetably goodness, without the fillers like noodles and starches found in most soups.
