The Brodino Difference

The grocery store shelves are filled with flavorless, watered-down bone broths with very little collagen. So what’s the Brodino difference?

We pack our stock pots full of Certified Organic Mary’s chicken bones. More bones and less water equals maximum collagen and maximum flavor.

Our bone broth is Infused with Superfoods! Organic Ginger, Turmeric, Reishi Mushroom, Dulse (seaweed), and Black Garlic simmer low and slow to create a nutrient-dense broth with amazing umami flavor.

We make all of our Broth and Scratch Made Soups with love in small batches at our kitchen in Laguna Hills, CA. Our soups are made with our Signature Bone Broth and contain NO gluten*, dairy, sugar, preservatives, MSG, or processed cooking oils.

*(Our Bison Serrano Chili is made with beer and is our only soup that is not Gluten Free)

The benefits of collagen:

Supports healthy digestion

Immune-boosting

Anti-inflammatory

Strengthens joints & bones

Promotes healthy skin, hair & nails

Hangover Medicine

Our Story

Brodino: Italian for “Little Broth”

Chef/founder Evan Katz’ love of soup can be traced back to his childhood. He remembers frequently ordering multiple bowls of chicken noodle soup in one sitting at the local diner and sipping broth for breakfast instead of cereal. While working at an Italian café in San Francisco in 2004, Evan was observed by his co-workers eating soup at almost every lunch break, and given the nickname “Brodino,” an obvious choice. 

Evan turned a lifelong love of soup into a small local business in 2017. He was unsatisfied with the soup options at the grocery store, where cans and boxes of broth and soup are filled with flavor enhancers and other ingredients in a poor attempt at emulating that homemade flavor. Starting out in his home kitchen, he went from feeding friends and family to serving his broth at local events and farmers’ markets. You can now find Brodino Broth and Scratch Made Soups at 20 weekly farmers’ markets in San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. At Brodino our mission is to unlock the soup lover inside all of us.
