I’m notoriously picky about eating out, particularly when it comes to local healthy restaurants. One of our family’s favorite places to eat out is Souplantation. As a parent always striving to introduce my kids to new foods, I appreciate the diverse selection of fruits and vegetables available at their salad bar. Souplantation recently debuted their new winter menu, which includes Roasted Turkey Cranberry Soup, Zesty Tortellini, Classic Minestrone, and Gluten-Friendly Apple Cinnamon Muffins. When cooking at home isn’t feasible, Souplantation is our go-to for a casual, healthy, affordable meal.

Souplantation
Having visited Souplantation since I was a child, I’ve seen the brand work consistently to make healthy food look and taste good. With farm-fresh ingredients, made-from-scratch soups, and freshly baked items, the restaurant concept really lends itself well to families with diverse palates.
Souplantation sources all of their ingredients from real farmers (as opposed to industrial factory farm) and then crafts those ingredients into seasonal dishes. The restaurant’s homemade recipes are made from fresh, real ingredients including fruit and vegetables. Their menu includes fresh, tossed, and prepared salads, soups, pastas, sweet and savory baked breads, fresh fruit, and a selection of desserts.
