CHELSEA, MA – According to Mintel’s 2011 Menu Section Review for Soup, 34 percent of consumers said that they would like to see more vegan soups than are currently available. Additionally, according to a 2011 American Dietetic Association survey, 48 percent of consumers said that they were eating more whole grains than in the year prior. Therefore, with a continuous eye towards evolving consumer preferences, Kettle Cuisine is launching two new varieties of soup to help their customers satisfy the resurging demand for vegan soups and meals that incorporate whole grains.
Below is a brief description of both of these new, all natural, fully prepared handcrafted varieties.
• Aztec Chili with Ancient Grains (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Vegetarian)
In response to an increased appreciation of ancient whole grains and interest in more unique South American flavors this light vegan chili includes tender cannellini and pinto beans, caramelized onions, red and green peppers and a wholesome blend of quinoa, amaranth and millet with lime juice, cilantro and ancho chili.
• Yellow Pea Soup with Roasted Red Peppers (Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Vegetarian)
This is for those seeking a soul warming, comforting vegan meal that tastes great and is great for you. This soup is carefully prepared with slow simmered yellow split peas, tender carrots, roasted red peppers and caramelized onions with marjoram, thyme and a pinch of sea salt.
Foodservice and supermarket operators interested in obtaining more information about these new products or in placing an order should contact Kettle Cuisine at 800-969-SOUP (7687).
