Kettle Cuisine began in 1986 as a door-to-door campaign to fill a void in the market and change the soup status quo. That meant making and bringing the freshest, highest quality soups to restaurants that had neither the time nor ability to do it themselves. That entrepreneurial, artisan, pioneering, can-do spirit is our DNA – and continues to inspire and guide us today.
We pride ourselves on crafting real, consistent and delicious flavor in every batch we craft, while our standardized cooking and handling equipment promotes safe and efficient operation. And with a dedicated team of knowledgeable and experienced production staff who know our processes inside and out, you can trust that every meal we produce meets our uncompromising standards for taste, quality, and safety.
We’re a passionate, innovative food company committed to making fresh, healthy, delicious, artisan quality food for all. We’re food lovers making food people love.
We’d love to help you serve your clients with excellence and grow your business.
