Laurie’s Kitchen

Speaking of soups.... one of our regular Soup of the Month Club featured companies is Laurie's Kitchen. Laurie's is part of Old World Spices based in Kansas City, Missouri.

Old World got it's start in 1988 when John Jungk founded Industrial Ingredients Supply. As the name implies, they provided bulk product for food manufacturers. Over time, they began to focus more and more on spices and seasonings and in 1996 changed the name to Old World Spices & Seasonings. It was in 1999 that they launched a line of branded gourmet mixes that was headed up by Jungk's eldest daughter Laurie Corbin.

Sadly, Laurie passed on unexpectedly at the age of 38 in 2001. To remember her, the family business set out to create a whole new line of gourmet mixes that were truly inspired by her home cooking. They named the line Laurie's Kitchen and it launched in 2006. They now offer a complete line of mixes for soup, dips, cheeseballs, desserts, vinaigrettes and sauces.

We have featured several of their products for our month clubs and now offer the full line of soup mixes at http://www.soupsonline.com/.
