Family Owned. Fiercely Independent.
After the birth of our daughter Amy in 1987, we started Amy’s Kitchen to produce delicious, nourishing organic convenience foods for health-conscious people who are sometimes too busy to cook. Amy’s is a family-run business, and we supervise every aspect of our business. All the fruits, vegetables and grains we use are grown organically, without the use of insecticides, GMOs and other harmful chemicals. We prepare these natural ingredients with the same careful attention in our kitchen as you would in your own home.
We were organic before it was a national certification. So when the U.S. Department of Agriculture decided to create standards for organic, they looked to us for guidance. Together with other industry leaders, we helped pioneer the organic food industry and, more importantly, we helped make organic food available to more people.
Amy's Kitchen
Our Food Philosophy
We believe that good, flavorful food is made with good, flavorful ingredients and a lot of love.
Delicious above everything
We believe that you can never be too thorough. That’s why we taste every zucchini, carrot, mushroom and everything else we grow. This might have something to do with our reputation with farmers for being picky and demanding; but if you’re making tomato soup, you have to start with the best tomato you can find.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can I actually heat this in the office microwave?
The single-serve container is ready in about 2 minutes in the microwave, making it practical for a tight lunch break between meetings or back-to-back calls.
Can I keep a few cans in my desk drawer for quick lunches?
Yes. The soup is shelf-stable, so you can stock a small pantry at the office, in a home office cabinet, or in a kitchen drawer without refrigeration.
Do I need to transfer it to a bowl or can I eat from the container?
The microwavable container is designed for both heating and serving, so you can heat it and eat from the same bowl, which means less cleanup between meetings.
Is this filling enough to power me through an afternoon of focused work?
Yes. The combination of beans, noodles, and vegetables creates a hearty, satisfying bowl that holds you over better than a light side salad or snack.
Can I also heat this on the stovetop if I have access to a kitchen?
Yes. The product includes dual heating instructions: about 2 minutes in the microwave or a quick pour-and-heat on the stovetop, so you can use whichever setup is available.
I only have a 30-minute lunch — is this realistic to prep and eat?
Yes. With a 2-minute heat time and a single-serve container, you can realistically have this plated, eaten, and cleaned up within a short break window.
Is this a good staple to keep at work for days I forget to pack lunch?
Absolutely. It's shelf-stable, so a small stash at the office covers you on busy mornings, surprise deadlines, or days you simply don't have time to meal prep.
Will the smell bother my coworkers in an open office?
The aroma is a mild tomato and herb broth, which most people find pleasant. It's a much lighter office scent than fried or heavily spiced takeout.
How does this compare to picking up lunch from a nearby café?
Compared to a café lunch, this organic minestrone is faster (2 minutes), cheaper per serving, and gives you control over sodium and ingredients — no waiting in line required.
Is this better than instant ramen for a desk lunch?
Yes. You get organic vegetables, beans, and noodles with significantly less sodium and no trans fat, making it a more wholesome upgrade to instant noodles.
Can I pair this with something else to round out a quick work lunch?
Yes. A piece of fruit, a yogurt, or a slice of bread turns it into a complete lunch that takes only minutes to assemble alongside the soup.
I'm worried about afternoon sluggishness — will a heavy soup slow me down?
Minestrone with beans and vegetables tends to feel steadying rather than heavy, especially compared with greasy takeout, so most shoppers find it lunch-friendly.
Does the container travel well if I heat it at home and bring it in?
Yes. The sturdy single-serve container holds up well in a lunch bag, though many people prefer the convenience of heating it fresh at the office.
How do I heat Amy's Light in Sodium Minestrone?
Microwave on high for about 2 minutes (stir halfway through) after removing the lid, or pour the soup into a pot and heat on the stovetop over medium until hot. Always follow the instructions printed on the container.
Do I need to add water or any other ingredients before heating?
No. The soup is fully prepared in a single-serve container — just heat and eat. You can stir in fresh herbs or a splash of olive oil if you'd like to customize it.
How should I store unopened cans, and how long do they last?
Store unopened cans in a cool, dry pantry away from direct sunlight. As a shelf-stable product, they have a long shelf life; always check the best-by date printed on the bottom of the can.
Is the microwavable container BPA-free and food-safe?
The container is designed and tested for safe microwave use. Always remove the lid before microwaving and follow the on-pack heating directions.
Does this soup contain any major allergens like dairy, gluten, or soy?
The recipe is built around organic vegetables, beans, noodles, and tomato broth. It contains wheat (noodles) and may be produced in a facility that handles other allergens, so always review the ingredient label for the most accurate allergen information.
What comes in the package — is it ready to eat as soon as I open it?
Each package contains one 14.1 oz single-serve microwavable container of minestrone soup. It is fully cooked, so you only need to heat it before eating.
Is the container safe to microwave, and will it get extremely hot?
Yes, the container is designed for microwave use. The exterior will become hot during heating, so handle it with care and use the pull tab or oven mitts to remove it from the microwave.
Can I freeze leftover soup if I don't finish the whole container?
Yes. Transfer any leftover soup to a freezer-safe container, cool it first, and freeze for up to a few weeks. Thaw and reheat thoroughly before serving.
Is this considered a soup or a full meal?
It's a hearty minestrone with beans, vegetables, and noodles, so it works as a light entrée on its own or as a starter to a larger meal depending on your appetite.
