A glass container holds creamy tomato soup with a piece of cheesy bread dipped in it. Text overlays indicate it's a '15 min tomato soup' and to 'But make it protein'.
A pan contains chopped tomatoes and onions cooking, with text listing ingredients for the soup: tomato, whole onion, minced garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and paprika.
A package of Member's Mark Mozzarella Chicken Meatballs is shown. An overlay suggests air frying a serving for 20g added protein, cut in halves, for the soup.
