Anderson House at the One of a Kind Show: Seeing Our Soups in Action

This past weekend, Anderson House had a booth at the One of a Kind Show, and I had the chance to experience it in a completely new way. I brought along some friends and family to see the booth in action, and it was such a fun, energizing experience.

Walking through the show, it was incredible to see people carrying our bags of soup through a sea of other amazing products. Every time I passed by our booth, it was busy—filled with people exploring flavors, chatting, and grabbing a few bags to take home. After years of attending this show, it’s clear that many visitors know exactly where to find us, and that kind of recognition is really special.

Seeing our soups this way helped me appreciate them as more than just products on a screen or in photos—it made me realize that they’re truly a part of people’s winter routines, something to look forward to during the colder months. My son had the best time "helping" out, picking up bags from the baskets and charming everyone with his cuteness. Moments like that remind me why we do what we do. Why I do, what I do.

I spend most of my days behind a screen or a camera, so seeing our soups live at a show for the first time was a completely different, yet incredibly rewarding, experience. It’s one thing to imagine people enjoying our soups, but it’s another to see it happen in real life.

Already looking forward to next year and all the new faces—and familiar ones—who will stop by. There’s something so special about connecting with people in person and sharing the warmth of a bowl of soup, one bag at a time.
