Hi I’m "The Soup Guy"! By the way, I am not a professionally trained chef. I’m just a guy who loves to cook! I’ve been cooking for as long as I can remember! It’s said that one should always do what one loves in life, because it’s probably a "gift"… Well for me I always loved spending time in a kitchen making food, especially different kinds of soup! As a kid growing up in the sixties I used to always look forward to Sunday afternoons because that’s when my Mom would let me take over the kitchen and create something. I also learned a lot about cooking from watching all those great cooking shows on PBS with Julie Childs and Graham Kerr. For me, not only was cooking fun, but also it was (and still is) a creative outlet. Later, as a young adult my cooking abilities became a valuable and useful skill-set! Because after high school, my life took an interesting and unconventional turn when I decided to go to India and live in an Ashram or monastery (now that’s a whole different story!). While there, I was assigned with some of my fellow monks to the kitchen where I became one of the cooks. It was there that I learned how to cook meals for upwards to 80 people at a time! And that’s where I realized that my real cooking passion was making soups.

BUY LOCAL! Whenever possible The Soup Guy soups are "sourced" using locally grown ingredients bought from local farms in the seacoast area of New Hampshire and southern Maine. If I can’t get it there, I look to other farms in the New England region. I always try to use certified organic vegetables, but when they are not “certified organic”, I’ll use “all natural” produce that is grown without the use commercial fertilizers and pesticides. Every batch of vegetable, chicken and beef broth I make is made with organic or all natural ingredients.
Sunday’s (especially during the fall and winter), have always been "soup day" in my house. The place fills up with all amazing aromas and sometimes I’d even invite a few friends over and we’d sit around watching football games enjoying nice big hearty bowls soup or chili! One Sunday in the fall of 2009 during one of these NFL soup-day extravaganzas, I had the idea of turning this passion of mine of making soups and chili into a business. Since a bunch of my friends happened to sitting there at this brilliant moment of inspiration, I asked them what might be a good name for this new business venture I was about to embark upon, and someone said "That’s easy… you’re The Soup Guy!" And the rest is history!
Remember everyone, “Come back to soup…the original comfort food.”
See ya,
Curtis Gould
