Yerba Mate in soups

2 Comments

Some of my previous posts have discussed yerba mate. It is a neat food to experiment with. I find myself using it to make teas, and it can be put into almost any food. Sometimes I put it into vegetable dishes. Here in the photos below, I am putting it into Campbell’s soups. First I have added 2 tbsp. of yerba mate (with stems) to chicken noodle soup.

And the picture below shows yerba mate in Campbell’s tomato soup.

I had both of these soups together and it made a nice meal. The total of 4 tbsp. of yerba mate is a healthy addition that has many excellent health benefits.

Yerba mate tea

Here I am having a yerba mate tea as shown below.

This tea is easy to make. I put a tablespoon of stem less yerba mate into a cup and fill with water. Then microwave it for around 1:20. It makes a healthy and tasty tea.

One can also use a tea bag, although I ingest the tea directly. To me, this adds to the overall effect.

Yerba mate is healthy in many respects, and it is especially good for making teas. Read up on yerba mate on Wikipedia to learn of the many health benefits.
