It all started with an idea and a bicycle.

Before Austin became the hustle & bustle city it is today, David Ansel established The Soup Peddler out of a humble home tucked away in the funky Bouldin Creek neighborhood where he would craft unique concoctions of handmade soup from scratch. Riding around South Austin, David would deliver these soups himself to friends and neighbors on his bike, "Old Yellow". Interest for David's soups quickly grew with rapid expansion, and thus, The Soup Peddler was born.

Although the business ran for years as strictly a delivery service (winning multiple awards for it's efficiency), The Soup Peddler eventually built a brick & mortar in 2010 to allow their customers, cleverly deemed "soupies," to come to them for their soup needs. Their menu has grown to encompass healthy smoothies & juices as well. Now with six locations and more to come, The Soup Peddler has truly become an Austin staple in a city that takes good food very seriously.
