Soups on this January! Winter in New England has begun and we are warming up with Calef’s Soup Mixes and homemade soup recipes.

Calef’s has soup for everyone! Whether you like to make it from scratch or keep it simple with a pre-made soup mix. Our soup mixes are all made with quality ingredients and no additives. You can feel good about serving Calef’s soups because our soup mixes are made from local companies, that started in their own family kitchens. These soup mixes are an extension of their family meals and they are delicious!


Add Soup Mixes to your Meal Rotation

Frontier Soups Simple Soup Mixes

Our Calef’s soup mixes Simple Soup Mixes are easy, delicious, and as close to homemade as you can get! Frontier Soup started in 1983 in the Anderson family kitchen. It’s where all the recipes were started and the family created, developed, and tasted each recipe. The family of soup makers are committed to making healthy meals, with clean ingredients. Just look at the bag. You can recognize all the ingredients!

Each hearty meal has everything you need plus a few fresh additions that make it taste truly homemade. With room for variation to fit what your family likes or more importantly, what is in your fridge. Most mixes can be prepared as vegetarian or vegan. Each mix makes wholesome meals with eight to eighteen servings. And can be freezed and reheated or saved as leftovers.

A versatile, family favorite is Frontier Soups’s Chili. This mix combines jalapeno peppers with classic chili seasonings to heat up this authentic bean-based chili mix.ย From this base you can add more veggies, reduce the sodium (using low-sodium broth or bone broth), or add more protein with a can of your favorite beans, chicken, or plant-based protein.

We have lots of flavors available online and in store with even more options at the store. So stock up for easy winter meals.


Try a Calef’s Soup Recipe

There is nothing like serving up homemade soup! A big pot of soup can go a long way and is typically well worth the effort. We have lots of great soup recipes on our website.

Not sure where to start? Well if you like Calef’s cheese, there are lots of great recipes featuring Calefโ€™s Rat Trap Cheddar Cheese. Good cheese makes a big difference here so order yourself a nice big portion of Rat Trap Cheddar Cheese for soup season and cheese snacking this winter season.
