I am one of the original 11 Soupies who lived near the owner back in 2010 on Riverview St. The soup peddler himself would deliver the best soups I have ever had, directly to my door step in a cooler I would leave out for him, with an envelope of cash. I moved away from a decade and then moved back home in 2022. When I saw the first brick and mortar location, I literally cried tears of joy, HE MADE IT I thought. I have been posting about this business every week since, I have reached out to them a dozen times trying to get in touch with the marketing department to make some video content about the soup peddler and what it means to me - so, if anyone at Soup Peddler that works with the owner sees this, please have them reach out. I make video content for small businesses as a local Realtor and would love to feature Soup Peddler on my channels, no cost. I am your biggest fan. This is my favorite soup in the world! I am also known to buy 6-10 bags at a time for my 86 year old dad so he has homecooked meals, he freezes them and it's also HIS favorite meal. I could write a book on how much I love this business!
Read moreSoup Peddler is so much more than soup. Although all the soups we enjoyed were top notch, quality ingredients and tasty. And I think they had at least 6 varieties when we were there. We enjoyed and were taken off-guard by the elevated lunchtime picnic we had at this place. I am not going to lie, parking was terrible, it is just a kiosk stuffed into the corner between two busy streets, but worth the trouble. Don't let that fool you. This is dining and we are foodies! It was probably the best lunch we had while visiting Austin. The grilled cheese was so gooey and crispy. The gazpacho was fresh and creamy. Vegans will love this place. There are some meat options, but honestly I loved the food and I am not vegetarian. My peach smoothie was tart and not overly sweet. Everything tasted fresh. The picnic-style outdoor seating in a small garden was quaint. Don't miss this place - worth the drive! If you have ambulatory issues there is a path around to the side. You can avoid the stairs. Such a gem. Really needed at least two extra stars over the 5 stars I gave them. No cash accepted - only...
Read moreI absolutely love the soup peddler. I have been eating and drinking their delicious soups and smoothies for years. I try to bring as many of my friend's and visitors as possible when they are in town. There are so many vegetarian options that are fabulous. I love their daily specials and I have gotten the tomato soup and grilled cheese special combo on Wednesday many times. They recently had a vegetarian chilli that was so delicious that I have been trying to make my own without comparison. Try the Green Apple and Muenster sandwich to give your taste buds a treat and you will be shocked at how amazing the combo of tart apple mixed with muenster cheese tastes. My mouth is watering even as I make this review. All the smoothies are bomb too! Just tell them what you are craving and they will suggest something awesome to fill your needs off their detail oriented...
