Gardein, a meatless meat brand owned by Conagra is launching its first-ever line-up of soups featuring plant-based meat alternatives.

Destined to be a ‘cold-weather favorite’, the five “meaty” tasting soups are made with 100% vegan ingredients for those seeking an alternative to traditional meat-based soups.

“With plant-based foods gaining broader acceptance, and with so many popular soups featuring meat on the market, extending Gardein into the soups category was a logical next step for the brand.”
