I wanted to thank you for helping me with my first order. The shrimp stock arrived in only 2 days. I was very pleased with the ease and quality of the product. After making mine from scratch and going through the process of saving shells from many pounds of shrimp, this was awesome. You were right when you told me the base taste better than the stock I made from scratch. It has cut my cooking time way down. I also enjoyed talking to you and hearing about how the company began, a real american success story. Thanks for the great product and the free cookbook too,

"I love Minor's bases and have used them for years. I have the roasted chicken, beef, ham, bacon, turkey, roasted garlic, chipotle, and roasted red pepper. Whether you are making a stew, soup, sauce or gravy, these bases will add so much depth and flavor, and usually just a spoonful is all that is needed, it's very concentrated. These would be perfect to add to Christmas gift baskets for your foodie friends, or friends who could use a little help in the kitchen :) ."

"My turkey wouldn't be the same if it wasn't rubbed with base first!! And I use it in my stuffing, too!! The gravy concentrate makes the best gravy, then I add the turkey drippings for even more flavor!! Happy Thanksgiving!!!"
Stacy Straub


"My freezer is full of various Minor's bases. Use them for everything, from cooking all the way down to just a mug of broth (with the chicken and clam bases). Best stuff in the world."  Coyote Holmberg

I just wanted to say a heart-felt THANK YOU because some of your soup bases are maltodextrin free and it’s very hard to find chicken or beef flavorings that don’t include that substance.
I’m a type 2 diabetic. There are 26 million known diabetics in the United States and it’s estimated that approximately another 20 million or so are either undiagnosed or are pre-diabetic.
When I was first diagnosed I followed my doctor’s instructions to the letter and yet my blood sugar kept jumping up to over 200 on a regular basis and I didn’t know why. I kept researching and researching and finally found out it was the maltodextrin that is found in many sugar free products as well as soups, bouillons, etc. I switched to an endocrinologist who explained that maltodextrin is extremely hard on the pancreas. Because of how the laws read, manufacturers are not required to list it in the nutrition information but only in the ingredient list.
Once I cut out all products with maltodextrin in them from my diet, my blood sugars quickly normalized and now my lab tests show that I’m pretty much the same as those who are not diabetic.
Before I was diagnosed I probably ate soup at least 4 times a week and even more in the fall and winter months. I missed it SO MUCH when I had to cut it from my diet but then someone in my diabetic support group told me about your products. HAPPY DAY! I can have soup again! I’ve also used it in casseroles, beef stroganoff, chicken cacciatore and much more.
It seems most companies either don’t know or don’t care to provide products that are truly safe for diabetics so again, a huge THANK YOU! Soup may seem like a small thing but when I’ve had to throw out a life-time of recipes I’ve collected and loved, it’s more than wonderful to know that with the maltodextrin free bases you have, I can still enjoy some of them.
Sincerely
Kelli M.

Clam base totally saved my chowder. We clammed for 2 days to get enough fresh clams. Even with the fresh broth it wasn’t clammy enough. The clam base was just enough to make it just right!!!!
Thanks again, Melissa Joyal


Thanks. I look forward to using your product which was introduced to me at a Barbeque cooking school I attended last Saturday. I plan to use the products I purchased to inject beef briskets as a marinade. I am interested in your recipe booklets as well. Regards, Butch Barnhill


Thank you very much for your prompt response to my inquiry!
Your soupbases were by far the most highly praised of any I found in the internet, and I will place my order shortly.

Dave and Heidi,

I'm always happy to see hard work rewarded and over the past 10-15 years I've watched your company as a web start-up flourish.  You have been a company of highest integrity and service.  I recommend you to all my friends.  

I'm getting ready to launch a web based company as well.  About the same time I started purchasing soup bases from you, I designed a very useful product for autos with console gearshifts.  It's a trash bag that I have since named "Mobile Attaché ™" that you hang over the console gearshift. I made it out of faux leather so it's wipeable inside and out and added a couple of pockets for your stuff (iPhone, receipts, sunglasses etc.).  I start production the first of June.  I'll send you more information as soon as it becomes available.  The website www.mobileattache.com will be up and running soon.

In the meantime, I love to go to www.allrecipes.com for recipes and will probably submit some of my own in the future.  I used to own a restaurant about 30 years ago and have many recipes that are exclusively mine. Don't be surprised if you get a run on base pastes.  If they will let me, I'll mention your website as a resource for my recipes.
Congratulations on your new website.  It looks great!

Love your products. I make soup like a mad woman, 16 quarts at a time, stock up in single servings in my freezer. The chicken and beef base have taken them to a professional level. Yum!

I find your products of high quality and although I spend more I feel it is well worth it. I just tried the BBQ rug on a brisket and my company raved and raved about it. Have you ever thought opening a mail outfit in Canada so you could bring down the postage price. I am sure you would get more Canadians buying your wonderful products.

Service was 5 star, product is extremely good. The Slap Yo' Daddy Meat Rub - Original Formula enhances the meats' flavors. Did a slow cook BBQ on my Weber Smoky Mountain of beef ribs, pork ribs and some chicken using this rub and all 3 meats came out great! Will use this rub again and again.

I have been in production kitchens for over 40 years now, and all of Minor's bases are just the very best and this new one is right up there with all other Minor bases. You'll love this true flavor, it just doesn't get any better...

I placed my first order yesterday, received a phone call this A.M. regarding shipping address. I am 80 years old, living 45 miles from a {minor/major} shopping area, and have chronic kidney disease. My goal is to prevent dialysysis as long as possible. I have called my Dr. and sent info. re. this site and it's low Na. products, and hoping to share this info. with others. Living in the country makes it mandatory to order on line. I have never been treated better than calling soupbase.com and talking to Heidi. If the product comes close to the service offered, I'm in heaven. Dick Doty PS. Cooking is fun, but let's make it as easy as possible. Much of the time is creating the base/sauce/glase for the menu, hopefully this obviate that time.

I love your soup bases. I ordered quite a few within the last 4 years. They are superb, and I ordered additional new products to try. I'm sure they will not disappoint! Keep up the good work, and I appreciate your trying to hold the s/h down. I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, but have not lived there in 40 years. If I ever get to Cleveland, I'm going to stop buy and probably go bonkers buying more product. Again, thanks for the e-mail.

Hi David, Just had to say how glad I am to hear the biz is going so well. Confirming the ""Allserv"" thing, I found you guys around the time I graduated culinary school around '98 or '99. You were then the only source for proper base on the net. I remember opening that first package with all of the goodies inside, the fridge magnet, the recipe booklets and more. I thought then, you know, these guys are going to do well. Fast forward over a decade and as I opened my order yesterday, what did I find still? Recipes and helpful hints and tips! So happy to see you are doing well especially in this ""downturn"" we are having but I have always been convinced that a great product + great value + great customer service will always yield a good bottom line. I didn't order from you much when I was in the business, I could just get it from my truck but I never forgot the sterling service and am so happy you are still here for us home cooks. I'm sure you will be for many years to come. Btw, I'm heading to your website as soon as I finish prepping supper! Take care David and once again, my best to you and yours! Malcolm

I've been shopping at Soupbase.com for over a decade. I was given the address on a cocktail napkin by a personal chef I met during a girl’s night out. We had been talking food and cooking techniques for most of the evening. As he passed the napkin to me he said this was his ""secret"". The first thing I ordered was the bases - the low sodium’s have become a constant in my frig. Back then I was calling in my orders. Every time I called I felt like I was a family member when placing my order. I've made almost all of Dean Jacobs desserts for holidays, special occasions and “just because”. They're as good as “from scratch” with a fraction of the trouble, and make the ""New"" store bought mixes pale horribly in comparison. Everything from panko bread crumbs, pan coatings, bases, marinades and rubs, to salts, decorating sugars and deserts are superior and convenient through Soupbase.com. I have passed the napkin numerous times over the years and I make sure I tell them this is “my secret”.

I no longer buy any soup bones for soup, etc. I have quite a few bases and use them all. We are retired and there are just the two of us now plus having arthritis so I don't cook as much as I used to so haven't had to order lately. I ordered a lot a couple of years ago and still have much of it. Also couldn't live without mirepoix but still have quite a bit. It goes in a lot of soups I make too. Am liking the roasted onion also. Thanks for having such wonderful products! I really appreciate you. Thanks for answering questions I have sent you too. I have them in a file. I am one satisfied customer.

David, My order arrived yesterday! I am so pleased. Now I can get back to preparing veggies that my veggie hating husband loves and asks for more. I simply simmer an assortment of fresh and frozen vegetables in a little roasted chicken stock and then reduce the stock to make a glaze. With frozen green beans & pearl onions, fresh baby heirloom tomatoes, julienne carrots, celery and zucchini arranged wedges on a plate, they not only look gorgeous but, oooohh, do they taste great. Many thanks, Barbara

Your package arrived today, safe and sound! I want to thank you for the extra care that was taken this time in packing my order. The plastic wrap around each tub ensured not a single one was bent, nor cracked open, as has happened before. Great work!! Karin,
