Natural Vegetarian Soups in Biodegradable Bowls

Of course Treehuggers [read: eco-conscious consumers] should make their own soups from scratch and keep them in reuseable containers. But if you are going to buy a bowl of instant noodles, look at these- palm oil free, all-natural and vegetarian soups, but what we really like is that the bowl is completely biodegradable and “decomposes in the soil with no harm to the earth”. Most will find their way into landfills where they probably are no better than plastic, but it is a start, particularly if you live in an area with community composting. Tasty, too… (the soup, not the bowl).

I just tried one of those Annie Chun bowls on Thursday (Udon Soup). The flavor was great and the noodles were magically delicious, but the whole thing was just way too hard to make and eat at work (which is the main reason I buy the packaged convenience foods like this). There was no place to moisten and drain the noodles, and there’s no way to politely eat those giant thick noodles with a little plastic spoon! Can’t argue with the flavor, nutrition, or biodegradability. But, for convenience (and deliciousness) I prefer Trader Joe’s Rice Noodle Soup Bowls. Good stuff!
