PROUDLY LOCAL | MADE IN MANITOBA
A Manitoba chef. A comforting bowl. Our wholehearted recommendation.
Based in Beausejour, Manitoba, Chef in the House brings decades of culinary experience to handcrafted soups. We're proud to serve them in The Secret Garden Cafe and offer them in The Green Spot's freezer section, because we believe a soup this good deserves a place at your table, too.
Roger Wilton is a Red Seal Chef with more than 40 years of industry experience. When a pandemic layoff interrupted his working life in 2020, he put his skills back to work by launching Chef in the House.
What began with soup for friends grew through friends-of-friends and social media, with community support helping turn the venture into a business. It's a Manitoba story built on experience, determination and people sharing something they enjoyed.
Chef in the House handcrafts its soups in small batches, bringing traditional cooking techniques to convenient, ready-to-enjoy food. Roger's approach includes making roux from scratch and using fresh produce, herbs and spices, with ingredients such as real butter, cream, cheese, meats and seafood appearing across the range.
Years in professional kitchens inform the cooking behind Chef in the House. These soups bring the skills of an experienced chef into an everyday meal.
The range includes familiar favourites such as Chicken Noodle and Hearty Beef Barley, alongside soups like Loaded Baked Potato, Turkey Wild Rice Chowder and Cream of Wild Mushroom. Our selection varies, giving you different flavours to discover.
A container from our freezer makes it easy to keep a satisfying meal close at hand. Follow the package directions, heat it up and enjoy it on its own or with your favourite bread.
In our opinion, these are the best soups you can find anywhere. That's our enthusiastic recommendation, and it's why we're so pleased to offer them both in our cafe and on our retail shelves.
Serving Chef in the House in The Secret Garden Cafe lets us share the work of a Manitoba chef with our guests. Carrying the soups in our freezer section means you can bring that same local flavour home.
At The Green Spot, we appreciate suppliers whose care gives us something we're excited to recommend. We're grateful to work with Chef in the House and proud to help more people discover Roger's cooking.
