In this episode of At the Table we had the pleasure of speaking with Sara Polon aka Soupergirl.

Sara Polon graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, where she studied history. Her career path then took many meandering twists and turns including working at an Internet start-up, leading tours through the Middle East, and several years as a stand-up comic in New York. 

In 2008, she founded Soupergirl along with her mom, Marilyn Polon (aka Soupermom /Chief Anxiety Officer). The duo were ahead of their time when launching a “direct to consumer” business in 2008! They grew the business from a local delivery concept to a nationally recognized soup company. Their soups and gazpachos can be found at major retailers such as Whole Foods, Costco, Safeway, Shoprite, and more.

Throughout every step of growth, the Polons have stayed true to their mission - producing food that is good for the consumer and good for the world. Their hand-crafted, plant-based, kosher products are sourced from sustainable farmers that respect the earth and the labor force. As they grow, they have become extraordinarily focused on the sustainability and justice of their supply chain. Soupergirl was the first CPG brand to receive a Fair Food certification in the summer of 2022.

Soupergirl has received national press, and has been featured in such publications as the Washington Post, Food and Wine, O Magazine, and more. The soup duo has also been seen on national tv -  ABC's Shark Tank, NBC's Today Show, and CBS’ The Dish.
