Ferns Country Store only serves Kettle Cuisine soups because they make their soups and chowders from scratch the way they should be: with natural ingredients, their own homemade stocks, fresh vegetables, meats, poultry and seafood and traditional herbs and spices. Kettle Cuisine never uses artificial ingredients, chemically produced flavor enhancers, or prepared bases in their soups. That means: No MSG or Yeast Extracts. No Hyrdogenated Oils. No Preservatives or Chemical Additives. No Artificial Flavors or Colors. No Modified Food Starches. The result is a variety of soups - each with it's own unique taste and fresh, homemade flavor!
