Dave Jurena and Tim Talsky first opened The Soup Market in Bay View during the winter of 2004, primarily as a wholesale producer of soups under the former name The Soup Kitchen. It has grown over the past eighteen years into multiple restaurants across the greater Milwaukee area. You can also find us at farmer’s markets and charity events throughout the year.
When we started, 20-30 gallons a day was a big day for us. Now, we don’t break a sweat at the 200 gallon mark, and we continue to build new customer relationships each day on both the individual and wholesale level.
The one thing that hasn’t changed in all of these years is our commitment to being the best we can at what we do. Rising to this standard means taking the time to simmer our stocks, made from fresh beef, poultry, vegetables, and herbs. Making stock is a truly nuanced craft that takes time, knowledge, and patience. Thank you to all of our loyal customers who have been part of our journey, we look forward to delivering you quality food for years to come.
