Soupergirl is the brainchild of former stand-up comedian turned soup maker Sara Polon. After reading Michael Pollan’s book, “The Omnivore’s Dilemma,” Polon decided to get involved in the local food movement. Polon thought back to her childhood, when her mother Marilyn raised her kids on natural, freshly cooked and delicious food.
Together, the mother and daughter decided to team up to bring locally inspired, nutritious and plant-based soup to the Washington, D.C. market and beyond. Since its inception in 2008, the business has been featured on ABC’s Shark Tank, NBC’s Today Show and CBS’ The Dish, and its food products are available for delivery nationwide and at select grocery stores including Costco, Whole Foods and Wegmans.
