Tired of the same old brownies and space cakes? Take your edibles to new levels of deliciousness with cannabis soup! Whether you prefer it chunky, velvety, packed with veggies or practically bare, with the help of this article, you can whip up a batch of wholesome weed soup—and you don’t need to be a canna-chef to do so!

Here we’ll share four tasty cannabis soup recipes to satisfy all soup lovers, as well as some simple instructions for making cannabis milk and cannabutter to ensure your weed soup is sufficiently psychoactive.


Understanding Cannabis Soup

The world of cannabis edibles is vast and ever-evolving. While we’re by no means shaming classic weed-infused desserts, for the more adventurous connoisseurs, or simply for those who love nothing more than a warm bowl between their hands, cannabis soup offers a unique edible option.

What Is Cannabis Soup?

Cannabis soup is not a complex concept. At its core, it is simply soup containing decarboxylated cannabis suspended in some sort of fat. For most recipes, this will take the form of cannabutter or cannabis-infused milk.

Why Add Cannabis to Soup?

The beauty of cannabis soup is its versatility. Everything from chowder to chicken noodle can be achieved, catering to all palates and preferences. Whether you want something hearty and filling or light and simple, there’s an option at your disposal.

And, of course, you also get to enjoy a hearty high as an extra reward! That said, you should always be mindful of consuming too much THC, as edibles hit much harder than inhaled cannabis, and the effects last much longer as well.

In fact, the vast majority of ingested THC converts into 11-hydroxy-THC, which is substantially more psychoactive and can easily become overwhelming even in relatively small amounts. And given how tasty your cannabis soup will be, it can be difficult to enjoy in moderation; nevertheless, it’s important!

The Core of Cannabis Soup Making

Now, as mentioned, we can’t proceed with making cannabis soup until we have an edible cannabis extract at the ready. In the case of soup making, you’ll need to create either cannabis milk or cannabutter/oil.

You’ll ensure that the cannabis is decarboxylated—i.e. “activated”, allowing it to produce psychoactive effects.

Furthermore, by suspending the cannabis in a fatty base, you’ll be helping to maximise absorption in the body, as cannabinoids are lipophilic—attracted to fat.

Cannabis Milk: A Key Ingredient

For those extra-creamy recipes, we recommend extracting your cannabis into milk. By following a few simple steps, you’ll have a jar of cannabis milk ready to go in no time. There are also vegan alternatives available if you don’t want to use dairy.

Here’s a quick rundown of how to make cannabis milk:

  1. Grind your cannabis—we recommend using about 0.5–1g of cannabis per ¼ litre of milk.
  2. Add full-fat milk to a pan over medium heat. Bring it to a light simmer but never allow it to boil.
  3. Add your milled cannabis to the milk, stirring thoroughly. From here, allow the mixture to lightly simmer for an hour, stirring every few minutes. Turn down the heat to prevent the milk from boiling, if necessary.
  4. After an hour, turn off the heat and allow the mixture to cool.
  5. Strain the final mixture through a sieve and cheesecloth, and voila!

For the vegans or lactose-intolerant out there, you can make this same recipe using a milk alternative. While several options are technically viable, by far the best is coconut milk; it will capture a much higher concentration of cannabinoids than the likes of almond, soy, and cashew.

Cannabutter: A Psychoactive Staple

Cannabutter is a staple used in all manner of edibles. Best of all, the process is super simple.

  1. Preheat your oven to 110°C. Grind up your cannabis buds/trim. In terms of how much weed to use for a given amount of butter, suggestions range from around 30–50g of weed or trim per 250g of butter.
  2. Place your ground cannabis on parchment paper on a baking tray and place it in the oven for 30 minutes to decarboxylate.
  3. Now, heat your butter in a pot with some water (to prevent scorching). Once melted, add in your ground, decarbed cannabis and allow it to infuse for 8–24 hours over low heat. You will need to keep topping up the water every hour or so.
  4. Once you’re satisfied, turn off the heat and allow the butter to cool. Now, pour the butter through a sieve and cheesecloth into a suitable jar. Place it in the fridge.
  5. Once the butter is cooled, it will have separated into the cannabutter itself and the leftover water. Discard the water, and you’re left with viable cannabutter!

For vegans, consider swapping out the butter for coconut oil.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.

SECTION 8 – YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO:
