The wrap-up: Soup for you!

Al Yeganeh, the inspiration for “Seinfeld’s” “The Soup Nazi” episode, has created his own line of soups to be sold in grocery stores across the nation. The SoupMan brand of soups from Soup Kitchen Intl., available in 15-oz pouches, is slated for national roll-out in September. Flavors include turkey chili, jambalaya, seafood bisque, and others.

Al Yeganeh, the inspiration for “Seinfeld’s” “The Soup Nazi” episode, has created his own line of soups to be sold in grocery stores across the nation. The SoupMan brand of soups from Soup Kitchen Intl., available in 15-oz pouches, is slated for national roll-out in September. Flavors include turkey chili, jambalaya, seafood bisque, and others. The heat-and-serve soups will be sold for $3.50-$5.50. Based on the real-life owner of a Manhattan storefront that had lines of people outside waiting to try his soups, the Seinfeld episode portrayed the eatery owner as touchy and ornery. “Al’s creations will define the super premium soup category, while adding a dash of attitude and fun to his recipes with his ‘soupside’ manner. Who can resist?” asks John Bello, chairman and CEO of Soup Kitchen Intl. The stand-up pouch is decorated with Yeganeh’s photo and a prominent logo. Soup Kitchen Intl. also has plans to open 1,000 The Original SoupMan restaurants over the next seven years throughout the United States and Canada. It looks like the SoupMan has the last laugh.
