Soup, It's not just for Winter!

While at the St. Petersburg Gluten Free for Life Expo I met some amazing people from 

Kettle Cuisine!

I have to tell you every soup I tried at this booth was simply delicious

and I love the fact that they are made in short runs

and all ingredients are super fresh

and with a really nice selection of 

GLUTEN FREE

soups.

You know for those of us who can't do the gluten thing!

And if you are Vegetarian, Dairy Free or adhering to a Low Fat diet
they have options available for you as well!

And best of all they have my favorite logo

Yes, they are a certified Gluten Free Company. And if you don't know everything that goes into earning the right to wear this badge of honor on your packaging then you should take a little 

visit over to

 www.gfco.org

{trust me, it's a big deal ;)}

So fast forward a couple of weeks and I get a lovely package in the mail 

from Kettle Cuisine filled with 6 of their wonderful GF soups for me to try.

OH JOY!!!
{I just love trying new foods not to mention I am a huge soup girl too!}

My care package included...
Thai Curry Chicken Soup - Angus Beef Steak - Chicken Chili with White Beans

Roasted Vegetable Soup - Tomato Soup with Garden Vegetables - New England Clam Chowder

So
the first soup I tried was the

Thai Curry Chicken Soup

 it was really good.

I loved the flavor and it wasn't too spicy.

Just to give you an idea of the aroma this soup filled the house with...

Well it was enough to bring my teen daughter out of her room. 

And if anyone out there reading this has a teen they know what I am talking about.

I chuckle as I write this.

I let her have some and she really loved it.

To be precise her exact words were...

"Mommy that's really good soup!" 

The other thing I love about these soups is the fact that 

when I was running late

{which is often}

I could just grab a box from the freezer toss it into my bag and I have lunch 

packed!

I just love 

EASY

1- Freezer - 2- Purse - 3 - Lunch  4 - Yum!


The other lovely is the versatility. 
Many people think summer means
time to say goodbye to soups
when they should be looking at all the possibilities soup brings to the table.

For example

soups really make great 

starter meals.

We do soup all year round at our house and use them in many different ways.

Over Potatoes - Over Rice - Over Noodles
served with a yummy garden salad.


And they are super on those nights when 
MOM just needs a BREAK!


We have fend-for-yourself night at our house
(You know those nights when you just can't do another thing and cooking will throw you ova the edge)
I know you know what I'm talking about.
Any how I will be keeping some of these soups on hand for the fam
the heat and eat.

Did You Know????

Jerry, the founder of Kettle Cuisine, has a daughter whom was diagnosed with Celiac Disease nearly twenty years ago. When his daughter was diagnosed Jerry quickly realized how limited the prepared gluten free food options were for this growing community of people. 

In 2006, when the FDA proposed a formal definition for gluten free foods, Jerry finally had his opportunity to serve this community with great tasting, wholesome, real food products. 

As a matter of fact, the back of the soup box has a letter from Kate, Jerry's daughter, thanking her Dad for such wonderful soups.

Currently there are ten gluten free soups available but I am positive demand will bring more of these sensational soups to our tables.

In closing, I must say that I was never offered money for my comments and my review of
these wonderful soups is my honest opinion.
