Father’s Day may have passed, but we’re still feeling all the warm, fuzzy feelings from celebrating two of our favorite dads—Matt and Jon Anderson! If you saw our last newsletter, you know we spotlighted them along with some adorable snaps of Finn (Jon’s son) dressed in his now-famous chicken suit.

Today, we’re sharing even more Finn content—plus two of his favorite soups: Chicken & Rice Soup and Red Pepper Corn Chowder—along with fun, creative recipe ideas shared by our community.

Whether you're feeding a family, exploring plant-based meals, or planning a cozy weekend brunch, these inventive recipes will bring new life to your soup stash.

Chicken & Rice Soup: Comforting and Kid-Approved

Our Kentucky Homestead Chicken & Rice Soup is a longtime customer favorite—easy to prepare, mild enough for picky eaters, and endlessly customizable.

One happy customer, Victor, shared this lovely review:

“I followed the site’s recommendations and added fennel, celery, and cream. WOW! Make this for someone you love.”

And here’s a cozy bowl of our Chicken & Rice Soup shared by @whenchichappens on Instagram:

A Plant-Based Twist

Jeannette from Jeannette’s Essence: Healthy Over 50 created a delicious vegan version of this soup to help celebrate our 40th anniversary.

She swapped in vegetable broth, jackfruit, and hearty white beans—a great example of how easy it is to make our soups fit your lifestyle.

Watch her version come together here:
