At this time of year, delicious soups are probably on your mind as you start scrolling through all of the food delivery menus on our website. And while soups are a yummy, filling option to order, it’s important to also make sure you’re getting the right combination of nutrients to help you not only stay full, but also productive throughout your afternoon. One way to do that is to find some soups that offer a big punch of flavor AND protein! And with the four options we’ve laid out below, you’re sure to find a tasty option that warms you up while also powering your mind for the rest of your day.
When you’re searching for a yummy soup that packs the protein, chicken and barley soup is a tasty option that offers extra health benefits!

Veggie Stoup
While the name may sound a little silly, this is a yummy bowl of goodness that falls right in the middle of a stew and a soup. Packed with the veggie flavors you love, carrots, celery, onions, zucchini and eggplant create a delicious vegetable base for this meal. Also added in are tomatoes, spinach, and cannellini beans, which pack in the protein you’ve been looking for in a soup order. But this flavorful protein-filled option offers more than just muscle building elements – it’s also loaded with potassium, a mineral that’s essential to helping your nerves communicate properly, among other things. Stew or soup, this is definitely a power meal you don’t want to miss out on!
Red Lentil and Curry Soup
Any soup that incorporates a lot of beans into the mix is a great way to ensure you’re getting more protein, and this red lentil combo doesn’t disappoint. Garlic, ginger, jalapenos, and curry powder are mixed with a vegetable broth base to create a flavor combo you’re going to swoon over. Lentils, cilantro, lemon juice, and a touch of mango chutney fill out the flavor profile, offering a tinge of sweetness to the spicy curry that creates the perfect lunchtime balance for your taste buds. Then, protein packed plain yogurt is added to the mixture, helping to create a creamy texture to the final version that arrives right at your office. This is a soup you’ll soon be ordering every week.
Chicken and Barley Soup
While barley is traditionally an ingredient that you find in heavy beef soups, it’s actually a delicious addition to lighter chicken and veggie soups, too! While chicken adds lots of protein to your lunch, barley is a whole grain that helps your body control blood sugar, reduces your blood pressure, and can even help you control your weight better. This tasty soup starts with a chicken and broth base, which is then loaded with veggies. Some even fall outside of what you would usually consider for a winter chicken soup, like tomatoes, asparagus, and peas. Barley is added in for texture and taste, along with fresh basil and a little orange zest. It’s a fresh take on your usual lunchtime chicken noodle soup delivery order – and one we know you’re going to love.
Oriental Noodle Bowls
While you’ve likely ordered them to warm up on a chilly winter day, you might not realize that many of the oriental bowls we deliver are also packed with protein! Shrimp and broth create a unique soup option that melds with the zesty flavors of ginger, garlic, and onion. Generous chunks of fresh veggies, like carrots, broccoli, snow peas, and celery are common ingredients in these bowls, which add the minerals and nutrients your body is craving. Finally, perfectly boiled rice noodles round out the meal, which are a lighter way to add some carbohydrates to your protein soup. It’s super yummy and nutritious – perfect to order for your lunch delivery today.
Delicious Flavors, with a Bonus
When you’re looking to order a delicious lunch that keeps you full, but also boosts your productivity for the afternoon, soups that pack in the protein are the perfect option. And since these healthy options also offer other health benefits from the variety of veggies and whole grains included in the mix, you’ll know you’re getting a well-rounded meal that’s helping you eat better and meet your dietary goals.
