Think homemade soup is complicated? Uh-uh! It’s as simple as mixing frozen veggies and a can of beans, then bolstering flavour with a flavourful broth. Frozen veggies are healthy and convenient. They’re frozen soon after picking, which helps lock in nutrients. Streamline cooking with Steamers. These make meals easy: mix, cook, serve and even store leftovers in them.
