I love watching food trends emerge! Seeing them first in their infancy and then later take off in more of a mass market environment. This is one of the perks of running a food manufacturing company like The Pasta Shoppe where we have the opportunity to exhibit at the International Fancy Food Show, opens in a new tab twice a year. We get to walk the aisles and see for ourselves the newest and most creative flavors, packaging, and categories of foods. Sometimes it’s a year or more before they hit retail shelves or show up on menus.

Don’t you love that it’s called “Fancy”?! I’m not sure any entrepreneur who has exerted as much blood, sweat, and tears over many years perfecting their recipe, packaging, and sales pitch, aka. “What makes my product differentiated and valuable” actually feels that “fancy”?! 🙂

But once you make it to this international stage, you have earned the right to feel and act “fancy” or any other way that makes you feel good. Soooo back to trending foods…have you seen all the broth bowls? Broth bowls are the modern day “ramen noodles” dressed up. I love this trend! There are restaurants popping up focusing only on this popular and totally satisfying healthy trend. And I’m feeling quite trendy today with my kinda copycat Miso Broth Bowl with Whole Wheat Noodles.

First of all, I grew up with lots of Asian food and pretty much ate my way through college on ramen noodles. I mean – who didn’t? 4 for $1.00 and usually the best deal on the grocery shelf. Now way back then I wouldn’t have added anything to my noodle bowl…but now? Watch out! You can do anything with a broth bowl and noodles!

My inspiration came from a recent road trip where I saw a large eye-catching billboard advertising the “Panera Broth Bowls” and wow, did it catch my attention. The combination of colors, textures, and noodles had me immediately. Now, I had re-create it for myself.

*Make broth. (Instant is OK!)

*Surround with bright, fresh, colorful, veggies and meat (optional).
*Season as desire and slurp away!!
