How Many Bowls Does One Confinement Soup Pack Make?
If you're new to confinement soups, one of the most common questions is how much soup each herbal pack actually makes.
The answer is simple: one Souper Goodness Confinement Herbal Soup Pack makes approximately two bowls of soup—enough for one day's serving. After cooking, simply divide the soup into two portions and enjoy one bowl at lunch and the other at dinner.
Whether you're following our 7-Day Confinement Starter Pack or 28-Day Confinement Herbal Soup Program, you'll use one herbal pack per day throughout your confinement journey.
Why Is One Pack Meant for One Day?
Traditional Chinese confinement isn't simply about drinking herbal soup—it's about nourishing your body consistently throughout the postpartum recovery period.
Rather than preparing a large batch to last several days, each Souper Goodness herbal pack is intended to provide one day's serving. This allows you to enjoy freshly cooked soup while following a structured daily herbal routine.
After simmering the herbs with water and your preferred protein, the finished soup is typically divided into two bowls:
One bowl for lunch
One bowl for dinner
Many mothers find this an easy way to include nourishing soup as part of their daily meals without needing to cook multiple times a day.
Why Does Every Day Have a Different Herbal Blend?
One feature that makes the Souper Goodness program different from simply buying a single herbal soup mix is its daily variety.
Instead of repeating the same recipe, each day's herbal pack contains a unique blend inspired by traditional Chinese postpartum practices. The program progresses through different stages of recovery over 7 or 28 days, providing variety while supporting a balanced confinement routine.
How to Cook Your Daily Confinement Soup
Preparing your daily soup is straightforward.
Stovetop
Briefly rinse the herbs.
Add one herbal soup pack, 1.5 litres of water, and about 350 g of your preferred protein.
Bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
Reduce to a gentle simmer for at least one hour.
Divide into two bowls.
Electric Cooker
Briefly rinse the herbs.
Add one herbal soup pack, 1 litre of water, and 350 g of protein.
Cook using the Soup setting: High 1.5–2 hours, or Low 3–4 hours.
Divide into two servings before enjoying.
Can You Drink More Than One Pack Per Day?
The Souper Goodness program is designed around one herbal soup pack per day. Each blend forms part of a structured sequence, so following the recommended schedule allows you to experience the program as intended.
If you have dietary restrictions, medical conditions, or questions about herbal ingredients, it's always best to consult your healthcare provider before making changes to your routine.
Choosing Between the 7-Day and 28-Day Programs
If you're trying confinement soups for the first time or want a shorter introduction, the 7-Day Confinement Starter Pack is a great place to begin.
For mothers planning to follow the traditional month-long confinement period, the 28-Day Confinement Herbal Soup Program offers 28 unique daily herbal blends designed to provide variety throughout your postpartum recovery.
Whichever option you choose, each daily pack is formulated to make two nourishing bowls of soup—one for lunch and one for dinner.
