Captain Soup Nutrient dense freezer meals rooted in functional medicine. Soup is medicine!

We weren’t meant to carry it all. 🤍

When I first got sick, navigating an autoimmune diagnosis felt like an uphill battle—especially in an environment where blending in was the norm. We realized quickly that healing meant eliminating inflammatory foods, but it also meant introducing true, uncorrupted nourishment.

That meant making real, nutrient-dense bone broth soup from scratch. It was a massive, multi-day process: baking chickens, simmering the carcasses for 2 to 3 days, straining, prepping, and hours of cooking just to yield enough solid meals to keep me fueled through high-stress days in command.

The truth? No man is an island. I couldn’t have done it alone, and honestly, you shouldn't have to either. True health requires community.

We did the years of research and the days of kitchen prep so that you don't have to carry the burden by yourself and so that you don’t have to heal alone.

Do you even fly Apaches and eat soup bro?!

One thing I've learned over the last decade is that health isn't just about what we eat.

It's also about what we pay attention to.

These days, I try to start my mornings without my phone. Before the emails, the headlines, and the endless notifications, I want to spend a few moments grounded in what is true. For me, that looks like Scripture, sunlight, fresh air, and gratitude.☀️

I step outside into the morning sunlight, take a deep breath, and pay attention. The birds of the air, the fresh breeze, and the animals beginning their day are simple reminders of how much I have to be grateful for. 🦚✨🍃

Living on a farm has reinforced this lesson. Every morning I'm reminded that life is sustained by countless systems working together in ways we rarely stop to notice—the soil, the plants, the animals, and even the breath in our lungs. 🫁🌿🐐

It's easy to move through life without seeing any of it. But I've found that slowing down, even for a few minutes, helps me remember that there is far more going right than we often realize.

The more I pay attention, the more I'm convinced that many of the things that help us thrive aren't complicated. They're often the simple things we've forgotten. 🍃
☀️ Morning sunlight.
🍃 Slowing down.
🏞 Noticing what's good.
💚 Spending time with people you love.
🙏 Giving thanks to God.

I'm still learning, but these practices have become an important part of my journey.

Save this for when you need the reminder: your health is just as much about gratitude as it is about what you eat. 🌿✨

Why do we constantly move our sheep? 🐑

This practice is called rotational grazing, one of the foundational principles of regenerative agriculture championed by farmers like Joel Salatin. 🧑‍🌾

Rather than grazing the same pasture continuously, our sheep are moved regularly to fresh grass. This gives previously grazed areas time to rest and recover, allowing plants to regrow, soil biology to thrive, and the land to become healthier over time. 🌿

The goal isn't simply to raise sheep. 🐑

It's to steward the land in a way that works with nature rather than against it. 🌿

At City on a Hill Farm, we believe healthy soil produces healthy plants, healthy plants produce healthy animals, and healthy animals contribute to more nourishing food.

So when you see Sophie moving the flock, you're witnessing more than a daily farm chore—you're seeing regenerative agriculture in action. 👩‍🌾

The quality of our food begins long before a batch of soup is ever made—it starts right here in the pasture.

Follow along to learn more about regenerative agriculture and how where your food comes from matters.

I've been quiet on here for a while.

For those who don't know me, I'm Brian Gaudette, founder of Captain Soup.

Years ago, I got sick while serving as an Army officer and pilot. Doctors couldn't figure out what was going on, and I was staring down the possibility that my career was over.

Out of desperation, I started looking for answers elsewhere. I changed the way I ate and began treating food like medicine. To my surprise, it worked. My health improved, and I was able to continue serving.

That journey eventually led my wife and me to start making nutrient-dense soups in our garage. What began as a necessity became Captain Soup.

But healing isn't a straight line.

A few years later, I got sick again. This time, we discovered mold toxicity and heavy metal exposure were major contributors. It was a humbling reminder that I don't have everything figured out.

In many ways, I'm still a student.

I'm still learning. Still healing. Still asking questions.

What I've learned over the last decade is that health is often found in the simple things we've forgotten:

Eat real food.
Get outside.
Get your hands in the dirt.
Love your family.
Build community.
Practice gratitude.
Praise God.

That's what we're exploring here.

I'm an open book, and I hope my story can help someone else on their journey.

Thanks for being here.

“Our motto is we respect and honor the pigness of the pig and the chickenness of the chicken.”
🐖🐓— Joel Salatin,

These are the pasture-raised chickens that go into our soups. 🐓They spend their days outdoors—scratching, foraging, and living as chickens were meant to live. No crowded confinement houses, just a natural diet and open pastures. Plus, we honor the harvest by utilizing the entire animal.

And the difference shows.
✨Time and time again, customers tell us it's the best chicken they've ever tasted. We believe exceptional food begins with exceptional farming. When animals are raised with care and respect, you can taste it in every spoonful🍲...

A quick heads-up for our chicken soup lovers: because we stick strictly to true pasture-raised standards, our inventory is limited and running quite low this week. If you've been craving a spoonful, head to captainsoup.com to secure yours! 🐓

Healthy soil is a public health issue. 🌍👇

We’ve all heard the phrase "you are what you eat." But if we want to talk about true nutrient density, we have to look a step further back: you are what your food eats. Modern conventional farming has quietly stripped our soil of biodiversity, turning rich ecosystems into monocultures. The result? Our food has been steadily losing its vitamins and minerals over the last 50+ years, leaving over 75% of adults in wealthy nations lacking adequate micronutrients. But there’s an antidote: Regenerative Agriculture. 🌿
When farms prioritize soil health through no-till farming, cover crops, and rotational grazing, the magic happens:

🌱 The Soil Connection: Regenerative soil scores 7× higher on health metrics, pumping crops full of B vitamins, calcium, zinc, and polyphenols.

🐑 The Animal Connection: Animals raised on diverse, healthy pastures pass those exact benefits directly to you—resulting in higher omega-3s and a superior nutrient profile compared to grain-fed alternatives.

At Captain Soup, it all starts with ingredients raised in healthy, living soil. True nutrition starts beneath our feet, and every meal is an opportunity to vote for biodiversity. 🌿

Share this with someone who cares about where their food comes from—and helps restore the health of our soil and people! 💚

Complex problems. Simple solutions. 🌱

We often look for high-tech fixes for our biggest environmental challenges, but sometimes the answer is right beneath our feet. 👣

One of those "embarrassingly simple" solutions? Regenerative Agriculture. 🌿

When Brian first purchased City on a Hill Farm, it didn't look like the lush, green landscape you see today. It has taken a few years of intentional work to get here. By utilizing rotational grazing, we aren't just moving animals; we are:

-Sequestering carbon back into the earth where it belongs.
-Regenerating the ecology of the system from the soil upwards.
-Restoring the water cycle and boosting biodiversity.

It’s a shift from just "sustaining" the land to actually healing the land. Let’s get back to basics. 🚜✨
