Method and system for producing a food product having a liquid component and an insoluble component, such as soups or stews. A food product assembly (1) may include a cartridge (10) containing a liquid component medium (20) that is usable by a beverage forming machine to produce a liquid component of the food product. A second container (2), to which the cartridge may be removably attached, may contain the insoluble component (30) of the food product, and may receive the liquid component so as to hold both the insoluble component and liquid component together, e.g., for consumption by a user. La présente invention se rapporte à un procédé et à un système permettant de produire un produit alimentation qui comprend un composant liquide et un composant insoluble, tel que des soupes ou des ragoûts. Un ensemble produit alimentaire (1) peut comprendre une cartouche (10) qui contient un milieu de composant liquide (20) qui peut être utilisé par une machine de préparation de boissons pour produire un composant liquide du produit alimentaire. Un second récipient (2), auquel la cartouche peut être fixée de manière amovible, peut contenir le composant insoluble (30) du produit alimentaire et peut recevoir le composant liquide de sorte à conserver ensemble à la fois le composant insoluble et le composant liquide, par exemple pour permettre une consommation par un utilisateur.
