Fresh not frozen

Our delicious soups are fresh not frozen and come in easy to store 4kg resealable tubs. Each tub contains 16 generous 250g portions you can cook on demand, minimising waste, allowing you to effectively control your portions and budget. The beauty of the tubs is that there is no need for a chef to provide your customers with fresh, quality soups – all you have to do is ‘heat and serve!’

Consistency in the kitchen

Our soups also save you time and resources on preparation and the cost of buying a large amount of ingredients. While the same kitchen staff may not be there at the same time, having a regular supply of easy to prepare, restaurant-quality delicious soups in stock, helps you consistently maintain an excellent menu, regardless of who is on shift.

FAQS FOR RESTAURANTS

Choosing the right soup partner can help restaurants keep menus fresh, profitable and easy to run in a busy kitchen. Here are answers to some of the most common questions restaurants ask when they start planning a soup offer.

What are the best types of soup to serve in a busy restaurant environment?

In a busy restaurant, the best soups are those that appeal to a wide range of guests and are quick to serve without putting pressure on the kitchen. The Real Soup Co. offers around 20 flavours, from traditional favourites like French Onion, Leek & Potato and Tomato based soups to more adventurous options such as Indonesian Chickpea & Coconut or Italian Tomato & Pancetta. This mix of classics and global flavours means you can keep a couple of year round favourites on the menu and switch others in and out for specials, themed evenings and events, all while serving soups that taste like they were made from scratch.

How can we offer soups that cater for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diners?

The Real Soup Co. range is designed to make it simple to cover key dietary needs without adding extra prep. Across our soups and grab & go pots you will find single-portion vegetarian, vegan and allergen free options. This makes it easy to plan a line up where there is always at least one vegan choice and one option suitable for guests with common allergens or gluten intolerance, backed by clear nutritional and allergen information that you can share front of house or in digital menus.

How can we keep soup quality consistent across multiple restaurant sites?

Because all recipes are cooked at The Real Soup Co.’s dedicated HQ by an in-house chef team, every batch follows the same method and uses the same ingredients. Soups for hospitality are supplied in 4 kg microwaveable catering tubs that each provide 16 hearty portions, so teams at different sites follow the same simple heat and serve process and ladle out the same portion size every time. This removes the variation that comes with making soup from scratch in multiple kitchens, while still delivering the flavour and appearance of homemade soup across all locations.

How can we reduce food waste when serving soup in a restaurant?

The Real Soup Co. formats are built with waste reduction in mind. The 4 kg catering tubs give you 16 consistent portions, so you can heat what you need and keep control of stock, portion size and cost. For quieter periods, late check ins or out of hours service where a full soup offer is not practical, the 380 g single serve grab & go soup pots provide a ready portioned hot meal with no leftovers to manage. Using a mix of tubs and pots across your operation helps you avoid overproduction and cut food waste while still offering a reliable soup choice whenever guests want it.

How often should we rotate soup flavours to keep regular guests interested?

With some 20 flavours covering traditional favourites and exciting world inspired soups, you have plenty of scope to rotate flavours through the year. Many restaurants keep proven favourites like Q Award winning French Onion on the menu all year, then bring in seasonal heroes such as Spiced Parsnip & Honey over Christmas and global flavours like Indonesian Chickpea & Coconut or Italian Tomato & Pancetta for themed nights and limited time offers. Using the variety in our soups range this way lets you refresh your soup board regularly without creating extra work for the kitchen.
