Gourmet Soup Mixes Make Healthy Holiday Gifts

Nov. 9, 2009 - PRLog -- WAUKEGAN, IL, Frontier Soups, a leading producer of  all natural gourmet soup mixes, is featuring a variety of healthy gifts for the holidays and a new six-pack of gluten-free soups for Gluten-Free Diet Awareness Month in November.

With a selection of 37 soups, stews, chilis and chowders, including 27 gluten-free soups, it is easy to find the right healthy soup gift to suit anyone’s taste, said Trisha Anderson, founder of Frontier Soups.  Frontier Soups soup mixes make healthy gifts because they are all natural with no preservatives, MSG, trans fat or added salt, Anderson added.  

Gift prices range from $12.95 for a Soup and Bread Gift Bag, with a choice of soup mix and cornbread, to The Gathering Basket for $69.95, which features a woven gathering basket filled with five soups, polenta, Ivory Coast Chai Chocolate Dessert Soup and a selection of gourmet dip mixes and pantry items.  The new Gluten-Free Six Pack is $32, a savings of $5.  During November, Frontier Soups is offering free shipping on any purchase over $25, Anderson said.

Three of the nine gifts allow customers to create their own baskets.  Popular selections include tortilla soup (http://www.frontiersoups.com/p-F-TO-Tortilla-Soup.html), Italian wedding soup (http://www.frontiersoups.com/p-WEDD-italian-wedding-soup....), black bean soup (http://www.frontiersoups.com/p-TX-Black-Bean-Soup.html) and International Collection™ Hungarian Goulash, which is November’s featured product and specially-priced at $3.95.  Frontier Soups’ most popular soup mix is Illinois Prairie Corn Chowder, and the party size corn chowder now is $14.95, a $3 savings off the regular price.

“For a seasonal splash at a Christmas meal, we suggest serving Holiday Gathering Cranberry Bean Soup,” Anderson said.  “The broth gains a golden hue from the saffron-laden soup mix, and the red beans and green spinach reflect the festive colors of the season.  Not to mention that it is nutritious as well as delicious,” Anderson said.  The soup is on special throughout the month for $4.95.

All Frontier Soups soup mixes include instructions for easy preparation with a few pantry or fresh additions for homemade taste.
