SO GOOD!If any of you are on the fence about ordering Josie’s Mac and Cheese from Pepper & Salt Kitchen for the first time please take a moment to prepare yourself for fanatical devotion and potential familial-strife-causing levels of allegiance normally reserved for sports teams and celebrity break-ups. In fact, I suspect that the one lone family member who claims to like my mac and cheese more than Josie’s has ulterior motives. Don’t get me wrong, the soups are delicious as well, but my kid has never volunteered to help pay for my soup order with their allowance while they’ve offered to do so for this mac and cheese!
The Chipotle Butternut Bisque with hazelnut pesto is AMAZING! At first I thought it was going to be too spicy for me, but I just kept eating it and it was perfection! WOW! and the hazelnuts! Yes! Oh and my husband (who is lactose intolerant) tried the wild caught smoked salmon chowder and he loved it. He’s now taking one of his pills to help digest, so I guess I have to share the chowder I bought for myself… Thank you!
My friend referred me to Pepper & Salt Kitchen. She’s been buying your soups for the last 18 months and said it’s the best addition to their week they’ve ever had. Now I’m in the Jennings Lodge soup group and I’m enjoying your soups every week! My husband is crazy for them and reminds me on Thursdays to order. So far, we’ve loved every soup you’ve made. I’d also heard you make salads in the spring, so we tried the Jeweled Rice Salad last week. It is my favorite salad now. We enjoyed all the fresh flavors and herbs, the grilled veggies and the textures from dried fruits and nuts and the dressing was just wonderful. I see how much work goes into each and every box and we are grateful. Thank you for making Wednesdays our favorite day of the week now Josie.
Josie; Thanksgiving last year was memorable because of your holiday soups. My family was here so we ordered one of each and the holiday mac and cheese dish. They all were outstanding. Your seasoning skills have always amazed me, particularly how you balance flavor in your Thai and Moroccan soups – it’s just beyond me. Like all your soups, the Thanksgiving soups spoke to all our guests. My family is coming again this year. Will you be offering your traditional menu? Please say yes to smoked salmon chowder and the spiced pear butternut! I take credit for those, so I’ll be needing several quarts to impress the fam again.
November 2023 ~ “Josie, thank you so very much for doing what you do. These soups are real gems. Like REAL gems. The wild caught smoked salmon chowder is by far the best we’ve ever had. We lived in Alaska for many years and never had chowder like yours. The chipotle butternut bisque with the hazelnut pesto had to have been the star of our hors’ d’oeuvre party. Everyone loved it. I wish I would have ordered more. You did it again! Thank you and I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.”

Nobody makes bone broths like you do. If anyone is reading my review and you are on the hunt for true bone broths that actually taste good, Pepper & Salt Kitchen has the best. My favorites are the chipotle lime chicken sipping broth and the ginger turmeric chicken sipping broth. The flavors are amazing. I know this is a time consuming process because I’ve tried making my own bone broth. So thank you for doing what you do and for making it like my grandmother did – even better!
