History
Established in 1998.
Zoup! began in 1997 as an idea the company’s founders pondered as they built their first soup-related business together. That original company manufactured and sold wholesale soup and spice products. Their kitchen-door access to top chefs and managers brought them to realize a few things. First, that good soup, really good soup, was hard to find. Second, that soup has powerful intangible qualities that elicit feelings of comfort, warmth and well-being for many people. And, finally, that there was a strong demand in the marketplace for the kind of authentic, hand-crafted, fresh soups that customers love to eat, but seldom cook for themselves. Inspired by their findings and passion for soup, the founders teamed up with a talented chef and together they devised a careful process involving hundreds of recipes, and weekly focus group. This two-year process yielded hundreds of exclusive soup recipes, and made way for the category-defining, Fast-Casual concept that is now known as Zoup!
