About Simply Delish

Simply Delish Soup and Salad.

My Husband Brad, and myself (Chelsey), own Simply Delish Soup and Salad (NOW Simply Delish Artisan Enterprises Inc) and to be totally honest we never thought we would end up selling soup in a bag! Brad has a diverse background in sales and the sales world. I have a degree in Criminology from SFU and am a dancer at heart. I paid my way through university teaching dance classes and I never thought or dreamed I would be a business owner. A year after Brad and I married, Brad’s Mom (Paulette) started Simply Delish Soup and Salad. None of us knew how fast the business was going to take off. Each weekend the whole family would fan out and work as many farmers markets as we could. We started adding events to the schedule and retail stores started to approach us because they wanted to carry our product. Fast forward a few years and Brad and I were on full time with Mom and Dad at Simply Delish. In Sept of 2016 Mom and dad decided it was time to step back and Brad and I took over. At that time Simply Delish Artisan Enterprises Inc. was created.

Still to this day we absolutely LOVE attending the Farmer’s markets as vendors and customers! We’ve met so many wonderful people along the way, many of which have watched our children grow up in the back of the tent at the markets and events! We are truly a Family Business and love what we do and this community!

At Simply Delish, located in Langley BC, we specialize in delicious, nutritious, and convenient dried soup, salad and dessert packages. As a small local business we take great pride in providing the highest quality products using whole, real food ingredients. Many families struggle with multiple food allergies, sensitives and preferences and our goal is to create meal options that the whole family can enjoy despite these restrictions. With that goal in mind, several of our raw ingredients are organic, all of our products are gluten free, vegan (dairy, egg and animal free), MSG free, and reduced sodium/low sodium. Our products are entirely handmade (no machines in our facility) in a dedicated gluten free commercial kitchen.

We believe in spending time with loved ones! That is why the majority of our recipes can be made by adding water, one or two optional additions and simmering stove top for 30-40 mins. We have done the work for you so you can enjoy your free time without having to slave away in the kitchen! We also have several crock pot/ instant pot friendly products that can be prepped 5 mins before leaving the house.

Our mission is: to provide people with healthy and delicious meals which are complete and easy to make so they can spend more quality time with their loved ones. HEALTHY EATING MADE EASY.
