Family-owned and operated since 1983. Our story, what makes our soups different, and answers to your wholesale questions.
Our story
The kitchen is the heart of the home.
The Anderson House | Frontier Soups family grew up believing the kitchen is the heart of the home and, to this day, all our recipes start in the same family kitchen.
In 1983, our mom Trisha set up a table at a local holiday market and unknowingly created Frontier Soups, what has now become a second-generation family endeavor.
With a shared passion for deliciousness, clean ingredients, and at-home family meals, we are your shortcut to homemade. So, gather around your kitchen table and enjoy!
From our house to your store, welcome to Anderson House.

What makes Anderson House unique?
Three things our customers notice first.
Family-owned since 1983
Family-owned & operated since 1983, we offer 35 regionally-inspired soup recipes for authentic, innovative home cooking. Home chefs add a few simple fresh ingredients to create wholesome, delicious, satisfying meals that bring families together around the dinner table.
100% clean label
Our soups use real, quality ingredients with names you know and can pronounce. They are 100% clean label, with absolutely no-artificial-anything, no added salt, and nearly all are gluten free. The recipes are fully customizable and cater to any dietary preference. The packages are clear because we have nothing to hide.
Fast-scratch cooking
We like to call our recipes “fast-scratch” cooking and many are ready in just 30-45 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights or slow-simmering weekends, we are your shortcut-to-homemade. Our mixes are not just-add-water, but cooking doesn’t have to take all day either; because we believe anyone can make fabulous meals at home and feel good about what they are feeding loved ones. So fire up your stove, fill your home with savory aromas, and enjoy!
Yes — 6 cases per order, mix and match across any products.
How do I order?
Sign in, and everything happens on the Quick Order page (the Quick Order button appears once you’re signed in): enter case quantities, watch the 6-case minimum bar fill, and add your order to the cart. Products are priced per unit and sold by the case (8 units per case).
Do shippers count toward the minimum?
Yes. Each filled shipper (48 units) counts as 6 cases, so one shipper meets the minimum on its own. Find them under Shippers on Quick Order.
Do I get free tasting samples?
Yes. Any Wholesale Direct order can include 2 free soup samples for in-store tastings. Simmer a pot, set out sample cups and let your shoppers taste before they buy. Tap Want samples? in your cart, or Add free samples at checkout, and pick 2 of one soup or 1 each of two. Skip it and no samples are added. They’re no charge and don’t count toward your case minimum.
Can I reorder what I bought last time?
Yes. Click Reorder last order on Quick Order and your last order fills in by the case, including orders you placed by phone or email. Adjust anything, then add it to your cart.
Where do my prices come from?
It’s the same wholesale pricing that’s on all our order forms — exactly what you receive when ordering by phone or email.
Which mixes are gluten-free?
Every mix in the Gluten-Free view on Quick Order, each marked with a GF tag. Two of our soups contain gluten and are not in it: Little Italy Wedding Soup and Dakota Territory Beef Barley Stew. Our cornbread mixes are not gluten-free.
Each gluten-free mix is independently tested every year at FARRP, the Food Allergy Research & Resource Program at the University of Nebraska. Frontier Soups is not a certified gluten-free facility, so that annual testing is how we confirm each mix.
Shoppers can read more on our consumer page, andersonhousefoods.com/gluten-free/, which is handy for a shelf-sign QR code.
Shipping
How is shipping charged?
Shipping fees are calculated once your order is packed and processed, and then added to your final invoice once packing is complete. To ensure the lowest possible carrier rates and maximum protection for your products, we generally ship our eight-pack cases inside master packs via UPS.
Please note that while the website provides a shipping estimate based on order weight at checkout, final shipping fees are calculated and confirmed on your invoice once your order is packed.
Payment
How do I pay?
The same way you always have with us. At checkout you simply tell us how you’d like to settle your invoice — the card we have on file or your established terms — and your invoice follows from Frontier Soups as usual. Nothing is charged on the website.

How do I get Wholesale Direct access?
