As a New Jersey native, born and raised, I love to support businesses opening up in my local community who are doing great things. I recently was contacted by Big Red House Soups to test out their four delicious flavors which were delivery straight to my door. I came home from work to a little brown bag waiting at my door step and just couldn’t wait to dive right into these with a big spoon. I love soup, I think I could live on soup as a full blown meal for weeks and weeks and never get bored. I love soup even in the summer time, but in the winter it’s just the perfect thing to warm you up on a cold day, curled up on the couch with the dog and a good movie.

Our soups contain many organic ingredients and we get as much as we can from our local farmers market.
None of our soups contain any added sugar.
After receiving all four large tubs of soup the first one I was dying to try was the Super Tomato Soup. I can’t even tell you how hearty, creamy and delicious this was. I decided I wanted a bit more vegetable in it and added a handful of raw organic spinach and mixed it over a medium flame in a pot. It came out so good and me and my husband shared it together. It was enough for two people.
I also tried the Dairy Free Vegetable Soup and was impressed with that as well. I love anything that is super creamy, with a good broth and has veggies in it. Like I said, I could live off of soup if you let me and these are just so darn tasty it’s easy to eat healthy. The soup was super creamy but was dairy free, so right away I was so impressed. Usually soup that is this creamy has a milk or cream base, but this is great for those of you who have to or like to avoid dairy. You can taste all the veggies in this soup and it is hearty and super good! This paired well with some broccoli rabe and grass fed organic beef chili.
I was not paid to endorse this brand or products, I just received each flavor of soup free of charge and if I loved it I offered to share a review with my readers. I have to say I really do love this brand and would say that it’s a great option if you live in the NJ area to check out where you can find some and taste them for yourself.
