Over the past 20 years we have made over 2,000 gallons of soup and still use the original handwritten recipes for Sophie’s chicken, vegetable, and beef broths that are the bases for most of our soups.

one of them starts out with one of Sophie's broths.

It is a very proud tradition that we are honored to share. We take great pride in the integrity and quality of maintaining the same standards that were taught to us by Sophie many years ago. Eventually, like our Babcia, we too shall pass the torch to our children, and then to their children.

In addition to a variety of soups, Our broths are darker than what diners can enjoy fresh salads and most people are accustomed sandwiches, as well as several to because they consist of 21 dessert selections and at least 20 ingredients.
