Cugino’s Story


Founded in 1995, Dan and Debbie started Cugino's Gourmet out of their home kitchen. Through the years, they found overwhelming success getting into retailers across the midwest and Cugino's Soups became a staple in many families' homes.

Early 2022, Dan and Debbie decided it was time to retire and sold their family business to two passionate foodie families of Rich and Ryan. Together, they are determined to expand the Cugino's line and reach homes all across the country while adhering to the core values of Family, Quality, and Convenience that have been a part of Cugino's since its inception.

We are eager to share with you the next chapter in our story as we adapt the same principles of quality, convenience, and affordability of our soup mixes to our new offerings. In addition to our Soups, please be on the lookout for our new "Pho!" and our protein-packed "Meal!" categories, all of which are proudly produced in the United States!

As always, we're glad you found us - and we would love to hear from you.
