Online ordering is UNAVAILABLE weekly from 5:00 PM Wednesday until 8:00 AM Friday.

This temporary ordering pause allows us to collect all orders, carefully plan, prepare, and transition with accuracy the new menu offerings on our website for the upcoming week.

Stone Soup Kitchen is a meal-preparation service, not a restaurant. Customers place their orders by 5:00 PM on Wednesday and pick up their freshly prepared meals the following week. Each meal is crafted using fresh, high-quality ingredients, then carefully packaged and refrigerated for convenience.

Our service allows you to enjoy chef-prepared meals on your own schedule. Simply store your meals in the refrigerator and heat them whenever you're ready to eat. Stone Soup Kitchen provides a convenient, delicious solution for individuals and families seeking fresh, ready-to-enjoy meals without the time and effort of daily cooking.

Orders must be placed by 5:00 PM each Wednesday. This advance notice allows us time to carefully source the freshest ingredients and thoughtfully prepare each meal to our high standards of quality and freshness.

By preparing meals to order, Stone Soup Kitchen ensures that every dish is made fresh, expertly packaged, and ready for you to enjoy at your convenience.

No, substitutions will not be available. This policy helps ensure consistency, quality, and the integrity of each thoughtfully curated recipe created by Chef Samuel. To accommodate a variety of preferences, we offer multiple meal options, allowing customers to choose the selections that best suit their tastes. 

Your meals will be available for pickup the following Tuesday or Friday. You will select your preferred pickup day during the checkout process.

As a general guideline, choose Tuesday pickup if you plan to enjoy your meals throughout the week. If you intend to save your meals for the weekend or later in the week, Friday pickup is often the better option. This helps ensure your meals are as fresh and convenient as possible when you're ready to enjoy them. All meals are freshly prepared, carefully packaged, and refrigerated for your convenience.

There are no minimum order requirements, subscriptions, or long-term contracts. Simply order the meals you want, when you want them. Stone Soup Kitchen offers the flexibility to fit your schedule and lifestyle, allowing you to enjoy fresh, chef-prepared meals without any ongoing commitments.

No. Our menus are rotated weekly to provide a wide variety of meal choices. While the meal categories will remain consistent, the specific menu offerings within each category will change from week to week. 

At this time, there will be three meal options available in each category, ensuring fresh selections and greater variety for our customers.

In accordance with Minnesota Department of Health food safety guidelines, we recommend consuming refrigerated meals within 7 days of pickup. Each meal is labeled with a suggested refrigerated shelf-life to help ensure the best quality and freshness.

At Stone Soup Kitchen, we believe great food should never go to waste. That's why our meal containers are freezer-safe, allowing you to freeze meals you may not be ready to enjoy right away. Simply store them in the freezer and enjoy a chef-prepared meal whenever it's convenient for you.

Stone Soup Kitchen meals are designed for convenience and can be easily reheated in the microwave. If you prefer, most meals can also be removed from the containers then warmed in an air fryer, skillet, or oven to achieve your desired texture and temperature.

Each meal includes recommended heating instructions to serve as a helpful guideline. Because microwaves, air fryers, stovetops, and ovens can vary significantly in heating performance, you may need to adjust cooking times accordingly. We recommend monitoring your meal during reheating and making minor adjustments as needed to ensure it is heated thoroughly and enjoyed at its best.
