About Anderson House

The Story of Anderson House (formerly Frontier Soups)

The Origins

Anderson House has its roots in the culinary spirit of its founder, Trisha Anderson. Inspired by her mother's ability to create delicious homemade soup from everyday leftovers, Trisha embarked on a journey to share her passion for wholesome, flavorful soups with others. The catalyst for what would become Frontier Soups was her sell-out success at a local holiday market in 1983, where she hand-packaged her 11-bean soup.

A Family Business

Soup has always been an integral part of everyday life for the Anderson family. What began in 1983 in Trisha's kitchen on a shady Midwestern street has blossomed into something greater than anyone could have imagined. For over 35 years, this family-owned business has gathered people around the dinner table with honest-to-goodness real ingredients and impeccable quality. Great taste truly runs in their family.
