Frontier Soups Adds New Five-Pack of Gluten Free Soup Mixes

Frontier Soups all-natural soup mixes are adding convenience and delicious meal alternatives for consumers looking for gluten-free options with its new five-pack of gluten-free soup now on sale for 33 percent off the regular price.

Available during March, the five gluten-free soup mixes are $19.95, a $10 discount, and include Chicago Bistro French Onion Soup filled with golden onions and satisfying black beluga lentils, Connecticut Cottage Chicken Noodle Soup with high-quality corn flour pasta, best-selling Illinois Prairie Corn Chowder, Ohio Valley Vegetable Soup with brown rice and corn pasta, and California Gold Rush White Bean Chili.

For those looking to add a little luck o’ the Irish to their St. Patrick’s Day, a green gluten-free soup mix, Nebraska Barnraising Split Pea Soup is a perfect accompaniment to green beer, said Trisha Anderson, founder of Frontier Soups, which produces 31 varieties of gluten-free soup mixes.  The Pea Soup is specially-priced in March at $4.95.  Each soup mix has been analyzed with the highly-exacting ELISA test by the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources Food Allergy Research & Resource Program at the University of Nebraska and found to be BLQ (below levels of quantification), or less than five parts per million of gluten, Anderson said.

“We follow stringent procedures with our gluten-free soup mixes to avoid exposure to any wheat products,” Anderson said.  “We also have searched out the best gluten-free ingredients we could find like the high quality pasta made from corn flour that has the great taste and texture of the semolina wheat pasta we had been using.”

Frontier Soups soup mixes, including its best selling corn chowder, are all natural, with no added salt, MSG or preservatives.  More information about Frontier Soups 38 varieties of gourmet soup mixes is available online or by calling 1-800-300-7687 (SOUP.)
