The Soup Peddler
Rescuing Homemakers Since The Dawn Of The Twenty-First Century
There is simply nothing like The Soup Peddler.
Though it has spawned copy-cat businesses around the country, Austinites are uniquely situated to enjoy this wonderful service… interesting, varied soups, entrees, salads, and desserts handmade by a professional staff delivered to your doorstep. What began as a whimsical idea by a boy and his bike and became an international folk tale is now an important part of many Austin households. Customers write “We’ve been ordering from you for months and our food spending hasn’t gone up…” “You are truly a guilt-free indulgence even in these scary economic times, helping this new working mom do it all…” Soup Peddler gift certificates have become the go-to baby gift for new parents in Austin.
