SOUP UP’S STORY BEGAN WITH A SIMPLE DESIRE: TO PROVIDE YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES WITH FRESH, DELICIOUS, HEALTHFUL HOMEMADE-STYLE SOUPS –SIMILAR TO THOSE I ENJOYED AS A CHILD IN JAMAICA.

 

These soups were not only comforting and satisfying, but they were naturally flavorful, filling, and absolutely delicious  as well. As an adult, I desperately searched for the same quality soups as those created by the women in my family. Instead, I found high-sodium soups – many laden with heavy cream or ingredients too difficult to pronounce.

In 2012, I began cultivating a dizzying array of vegan, non-vegan, and gluten-free all natural, hearty soups. Today, more than 150 options are available, all freshly and locally made in small batches. Each is low in sodium, infused with fresh herbs and spices and ground provisions grown locally and from the Caribbean and chock full of “homemade” goodness.  Our soups contain no dairy, oil, butter, additives or preservatives. They taste good and are exceptionally good for you.

I invite you to fall in love with soups all over again— the aroma, the texture, the taste, the calming effect... the insatiable appetite for something that has been proven good for the body and the soul.  I am confident that you will be delighted by the overall satisfaction you get from every spoonful of our delicious soups. We made them with your health and happiness in mind. 

Peace and love,

Donna

 

 

ON COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY

To feed the homeless and the hungry - if even with just one bowl of soup - humbles us beyond measure. 

In an effort to make a small dent in a huge problem that impacts us all, SOUP UP will donate approximately 200 cups of our healthful and delicious soup each month to a local community and faith-based organization that feeds the homeless and the hungry in the Washington, DC Metropolitan Area.  Please send your letter of request to Donna at donna@soupup.us

Soup Up is also a proud vendor partner of Breadcoin Foundation, a DC-based organization that ensures that people who are hungry or food insecure (whether situational or chronically) can shop and eat at local participating restaurants with dignity and without being stigmatized To learn more or become a monthly donor, please visit www.breadcoin.org.

 

ON SUSTAINABILITY

SOUP UP lives by the old Native American proverb that goes, “We did not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we borrowed it from our children.”

Guided by this simple principle, the SOUP UP team members embrace and practice the 3R principles in our operations: we reduce, reuse, and recycle. Our soups are packaged and sold in recyclable containers.
