3 Menu-Ready Concepts Using Kettle Cuisine Soups

Looking for fresh ideas to elevate your menu this season?

Chef Trevor puts three operator-ready concepts to the test using Kettle Cuisine Soups as the base – and the results speak for themselves.

Concept 1: Chicken & Dumpling Bread Bowl

“A phenomenal way to serve a soup.”

Start with Kettle Cuisine’s Chicken & Dumpling Soup warmed and ready to go.

Carve out a fresh bread bowl, brush the outside with an herb egg wash – chives, parsley, salt and pepper – and bake until golden and crispy.

Pour in 8-12 ounces of hot soup and you’ve got a fully edible, visually stunning bowl that’s as satisfying to look at as it is to eat.

Concept 2: Haddock Chowder Poutine

“The haddock is flaky in there, a little bit of potatoes, and then the smoky bacon, the chives, and then some delicious French Fries. How can you go wrong?”

Layer fresh or frozen fries with cheddar cheese and melt it down until perfectly gooey.

Top generously with Kettle Cuisine Haddock Chowder, smoky bacon bits, and fresh chives.

The flaky haddock, tender potatoes, and rich chowder base do the heavy lifting – your team just assembles it.

Concept 3: Lobster Mac & Cheese

“Quick and easy lobster Mac and cheese. A perfect solution for any of your summer specials.”

Built on Kettle Cuisine’s Three Cheese Cavatappi – white cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan.

This dish gets elevated with a house lobster cream made from Major’s lobster base and fresh cream.

Top with lobster meat, warmed in a simple herb and lemon lobster butter, and finish with fresh parsley.

Premium, memorable, and easier to execute than it looks
