Vendor Spotlight: Soup du Jar

Soup du Jar
Comfort, Creativity & Soul, One Jar at a Time!

For Kristy, founder of Soup du Jar, soup has always been more than a recipe, it’s a feeling.

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Kristy watched her mom create nourishing, comforting soups from whatever ingredients were on hand. There were no measuring cups or written recipes, just intuition, taste, and a deep understanding of how food can warm both the body and spirit. Those meals were a way to push back the Seattle mist and bring people together around the table.

That same philosophy followed Kristy into adulthood and eventually to Southern California, where cooking continued to be a creative outlet and an act of love for her own family and friends. What began as homemade soups shared with those closest to her took on new life during the pandemic, when people everywhere were craving comfort, nourishment, and food that supported both health and immunity without sacrificing flavor.

That’s when Soup du Jar was born.
Soup With a “Wow” Factor

From the very beginning, Kristy made herself a promise: never make a soup without a “wow” factor.

Soup du Jar soups are:

• Made from whole foods
• Free of additives
• Never heavy, greasy, or “goopy”
• Carefully balanced to marry flavors that entice the senses and enrich the soul

Each soup is crafted to be both deeply satisfying and genuinely good for you, proof that comfort food and mindful eating can coexist beautifully.

To elevate the experience even further, many soups are paired with Crunchy Bits™, a separate package of toasted bread or tortilla morsels designed to perfectly complement each jar. It’s a thoughtful touch that turns a simple meal into something special.

More Than Soup

At its core, Soup du Jar is about incredible, made-from-scratch soups, but Kristy’s vision reaches far beyond the jar.

Soup du Jar is a growing creative platform, one that invites collaboration, education, and joy in the kitchen through future products and cooking tutorials. For Kristy, cooking is one of the ways she gives to her family, and Soup du Jar is her way of extending that generosity to the community.

We’re so proud to feature Soup du Jar as one of our vendors and to share Kristy’s passion, creativity, and heart with our farmers market family. We hope you enjoy every spoonful as much as she enjoys creating it!
