FAQS FOR CATERING PROFESSIONALS
Whether you’re planning daily workplace menus or large-scale events, here’s everything you need to know about working with Real Soup Co. products.
Which soups are most popular with catering clients?
Our classic flavours remain best-sellers across catering environments, especially Tomato & Basil, Carrot & Coriander, Leek & Potato, and Butternut Squash & Sweet Potato. These familiar choices are crowd-pleasers that work across all age groups and dining settings.
However, we’re also seeing strong demand for more adventurous options like Indonesian Chickpea & Coconut (a Q Award-winning soup), and Mexican Chilli Beef, which cater to the growing appetite for global flavours and exciting combinations. Offering a mix of classics and contemporary flavours helps caterers keep menus fresh and varied.
What’s the best way to serve your soups at large-scale events?
For large events or high-volume service, our 4kg microwaveable tubs are the most efficient option. Simply heat the soup on the hob or in a commercial microwave, then hold it in soup kettles, chafing dishes or hot-hold units throughout service. Each tub provides around 16 portions, making it easy to scale up. We recommend using ladles with measurement markings to maintain consistent portion sizes and speed up service. For grab-and-go events or smaller setups, our 380g single-serve pots offer a quick, mess-free solution.
Do your soups meet allergen and dietary requirements for catering settings?
Yes, dietary flexibility is a core part of what we offer. Many of our soups are vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and free from the 14 major allergens. Every soup is clearly labelled and accompanied by detailed allergen information to make menu planning easier for busy catering teams. We also follow FSA salt guidelines, so you can serve with confidence, knowing our recipes meet key nutritional benchmarks. Whether you’re catering for hospitality, universities, healthcare or an event, there’s something for everyone.
How many portions does each catering tub provide?
Each of our 4kg tubs yields 16 x 250g servings, which is a generous, satisfying portion size for most catering needs. This standard sizing helps with accurate cost control, portion planning, and menu pricing. If you’re working with different portion sizes (e.g. smaller cups for light lunches or tastings), you can easily stretch each tub further. Many caterers find this format especially helpful for reducing waste and simplifying prep during busy service periods.
Are your soups suitable for hot-hold units and kitchen operations?
Absolutely. Our soups are made with professional catering in mind, so they’re fully compatible with hot-hold units, soup kettles, and other foodservice equipment. Once heated, the soups maintain their consistency, texture, and flavour even when held for extended periods – ideal for busy kitchens that need to prep ahead or serve over long lunch windows. Our packaging is also designed for minimal handling and maximum efficiency, helping teams deliver great-tasting soup with less stress.
