Captain Soup

07/29/2026

The cheapest meal on the menu is often the most expensive one on your health.

When over 30% of US healthcare spending goes toward preventable chronic illness, it’s clear: real food isn't an expense—it's an investment.

Nutrient-dense, pasture-raised food isn't just about eating better today. It's about protecting your energy, vitality, and future tomorrow.

Our Director of Nutrition Mary Ruddick and the Captain, Brian Gaudette, had the most unique connection that sealed their partnership. Both used Ancestral soups to reclaim their health and their lives! You can’t make this stuff up : )

This Independence Day weekend, we've been reflecting on something we don't often talk about enough: the strength of local communities.

Captain Soup isn't built by one farm alone. It's made possible by a network of Oregon farmers, ranchers, and producers who each do what they do best.

One family raises our grass-fed beef. One raises the leg of lamb. We raise our pasture-raised chickens and future lamb. Others grow our organic vegetables and herbs. Together, we're able to create nourishing meals while supporting one another and caring for the land we've been entrusted with.

In a world that often feels increasingly disconnected, we're grateful to be part of a community where neighbors know one another, work together, and take pride in producing food with integrity.

This is what resilience looks like to us—not independence from one another, but interdependence. Families, farmers, and communities each contributing their unique gifts to nourish others.

Thank you for supporting not just Captain Soup, but the many local farms and families behind every bowl.

The day a Blackhawk helicopter was called in to save my soup. 🛸🍲

When I was a pilot in the Army, my health was declining so rapidly from chronic illness that I had to treat my food like a medical prescription. I literally ate organic bone broth soup for every single meal—even during intense war games in the Mojave Desert.

I expected judgment or to be called a "snowflake." Instead, when a real-world emergency grounded me and landing zone rules sent me to a mock desert prison, my unit used a Blackhawk to fly my special food stash out to him.

The lesson? Our minds always expect judgment when we choose a different path for our health, but what we actually find is understanding—and community. You aren't alone in wanting to feel vital again.

👇 Have you ever felt self-conscious about changing your diet for your health? Let’s talk in the comments.

60% of adults are managing a chronic illness, yet so many of us hide our healing journeys because we don't want to "stand out."

I used to be self-conscious about eating differently until I realized that keeping quiet wasn't helping anyone. When I finally started opening up about my struggles with chronic illness—the brain fog, the chronic fatigue, the cognitive issues—the response wasn't judgment. It was: "Wow, my relative deals with the exact same thing. I wonder if this could help them?"

When we share our stories, we realize just how many people are fighting the same battle.

The moment I stopped viewing clean eating as a restriction and started viewing it as a prescription for my vitality, everything changed. 🔑

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.
