Company Summary

The Soup Peddler is the most interesting, authentic brand story in soup (e.g., See David Ansel's book on Amazon.com). In 2002, The Soup Peddler literally delivered artisan soups by bike in Austin TX. As the company grew, it bought a fleet of refrigerated trucks to deliver all over Austin TX. In 2010, the company expanded with a retail store, which became profitable in year 1. Soup Peddler Products, LLC is a spin off company.
