Curtis and Lynette Aikens are the latest winners of our Souptacular draw! See below for contest details. Here’s what Curtis said:

We found Souptacular soups to be hearty, nutritious and of exceptional taste. They store well (I’ve shipped some to my mother-in-law) and are very easily enhanced with chicken, turkey or whatever we have available. The kids just love them (along with biscuits) all year around. Combined with a crock pot, it can’t get any easier!

Thanks, Curtis! We hope you enjoyed your new stock of Souptacular soup!

Hi Soup Lovers!

We wanted to make sure everyone knew about our FREE DELIVERY offer within St. Albert.  If you order 6 or more soups, we deliver for free! It’s service with a smile.  Find out more on our FREE DELIVERY page.

Here’s what some of our customers have to say about Souptacular’s Free Delivery Service:

I couldn’t be more pleased to have found such an amazing company! Not only do they provide delicious and easy making soups which my family and I absolutely enjoy, they also offer free delivery right to my home! I am always greeted with a smile and friendly service. The pricing is also INCREDIBLE! I will be placing an order soon. I was in my pantry and only have one left! YIKES!

- Sandrine Pollock

I love the free St. Albert delivery, especially in the winter when there is no Farmer’s Market. It makes ordering super easy. Given how busy things can get, super easy is great with me!

- Lenise Anderson

I love the free delivery as it was soooo convenient. The timing couldn’t have been any better – being the Christmas season. Just so you know I took half of my order to Las Vegas and gave the soups to my friends. Everyone just LOVED them. I had to ask what other additional ingredients they added, and just about everyone added something different. The best answer was from my girlfriend here in Edmonton who said that she didn’t add anything else: it was perfect the way it was! mmmmmmm.

- Connie Robinson

*Free Delivery is also available to Edmonton business clients who order $100 or more of Souptacular soups.

Host a Souptacular OFFICE PARTY at your place of work and receive one free Soup-er Tube to enjoy with your family!

Hosting an Office Party is a fun way to introduce Souptacular to your work friends.

How It Works:

The ‘Office Host’ collects as many office friends and collegues as possible, usually over a lunch period. I will present EVERY product available on the website, including our soup seasonings, and newer products like the Cracked Peppercorn and Tandoori Hot Pot. We discuss each product, offer EASY slow cooker tips, hand out recipes, and even discuss Weight Watcher points (which are completely amazing)!!

Your friends will all recieve order forms. Everyone may place their order during the Office Party, or just take the information home for future reference!
Orders received at the Office Party will be completed and returned back to your office within a week – and the Host recieves a Free Soup-er Tube for inviting Souptacular!

If you feel this is something that your friends and collegues might find fun and helpful (with the chore of daily cooking), drop me a note to set up a time and date!

Souptacular’s recipe contest judge, Jenni, tested the best contest entrants from our soup recipe contest.  She selected Carol Haley’s recipe, and provided these comments:

“This soup was very easy to put together.  The addition of the meat and veggies really made it a meal in itself. The ginger has so many great health benefits that it makes a great addition for both health and flavour.  The ginger gave it a lovely flavour that I might use a little more next time I make it! All in all, this recipe is a fabulous way to change up Souptacular’s Tandoori Hot Pot.”

With the festive season upon us, what better time to try a new recipe – with a few different elements for variety – to use up those leftovers!? We hope you like the winning recipe as much as we did!

Carol Haley’s recipe for ”Stretching the Chicken”

This recipe makes use of the carcass left over from a roast chicken or turkey and allows you to “stretch the chicken” into one more meal!

Ingredients:

• Souptacular Tandoori Soup
• coconut milk
• Roast chicken or turkey carcass
• chopped veggies (use fresh or leftovers)
• 2 tsp grated ginger
• 1/4 c. chopped parsley
• 1/4 c. chopped fresh basil
• 1 can (400 ml) of coconut milk

Instructions:

Cover chicken/turkey bones with water and simmer on stove or in crockpot until remaining meat falls off the bones.  Remove meat from bones and discard bones.  Add Souptacular Tandoori Soup and simmer for 2 hours on stove. During the last 20 minutes, add chopped veggies (great way to use up leftovers), and simmer until tender.  Add ginger, parsley, basil (or 2 tsp dried basil) and coconut milk (use regular or light).  Season to taste and enjoy!

For the first time, Souptacular is joining other fine Alberta Local Products at Save-On Foods in Sherwood Park!

Save-On Foods hosts its Grand Opening at 60 Broadway Boulevard, Sherwood Park, on Wednesday, November 16th. Souptacular products will be there!

Enjoy Souptacular!

Yvonne Szakacs is the latest winner of our Souptacular draw! See below for contest details. Here’s what Yvonne said:

THANK YOU! What a nice gift to win, considering Souptacular soups are my absolute favorite! I have tried them all and enjoy them all, but I must confess the Tandoori Hot Pot is my favorite. That’s why I will be ordering 6 more Tandoori Hot Pot soups for my winnings!

We enjoy spicy food, and adding some sauteed chunky vegetables, such as peppers & onions, with prawns and white chicken meat to a pot of the Tandoori Hot Pot soup makes a lovely meal. We just have to add a garden salad on the side!

Considering that I live in Red Deer, the ability to place an online order is both convenient and easy. The customer service has always been fantastic! Thanks again!

Thanks, Yvonne! We hope you enjoyed your supply of 6 Tandoori Hot Pot!

Have you bought the turkey, the ham, and all the trimmings for Easter? After your big Easter feast, you are bound to have some tasty leftovers. That’s why you need SOUPTACULAR!

Order today and your soups will arrive just in time to use up those leftovers.

Here are our MUST-HAVE soups for the holiday:

Basic Instructions (these tips apply to all the soups below):

• Use stock in place of some or all of the water. Leftover meat drippings also add flavour.
• Add veggies: chopped onion, leeks, tomato, peppers, spinach, shredded cabbage, salsa, tomato sauce

1.  Great additions to Autumn Harvest

• finely chopped cabbage rolls
• 1 cup of chunked-up turkey
• 1/2 cup of salsa 1/2 cup of sauerkraut

2.  Great additions to Pasta and Grains

• 1 cup turkey pieces
• 1 carrot
• 1-2 stalks of celery

3.  Green Split Pea Method

• include the ham bone if you have one
• Souptacular’s split pea soup
• 8 cups of water

Cook on high for 6 hours then remove the bone and whisk the soup well so it goes into a smooth texture. Then add:

• 2-3 diced potatoes
• 3 diced carrots
• 1 cup of diced leftover ham

Continue cooking for the remaining 2 hours. Deliciously easy.

It’s always good to think ahead and think … SOUPTACULAR!
