"You're Through, Soup Nazi!" - Seinfeld Soups Coming to a Tom Thumb Near You

 
 
The SoupMan, made famous by the "No soup for you!" line on Seinfeld, is now being delivered fresh from Al Yeganeh's soup kitchen near Hell's Kitchen in New York City to local Tom Thumb grocery stores. OK, maybe that's not the exact logistics, but it's close. After years of work, they've boxed it up and are shipping it out.
The Original SoupMan comes in four varieties: lobster bisque, chicken noodle, lentil and tomato bisque, with a suggested retail value of $3.79 and $3.99 for a 17.3-ounce carton. Much better then the 10 bucks in Hell's Kitchen.
Check their slightly fussy website for exact locations.

Well, better late than never I suppose. While the lobster bisque certainly appeared to be the classic, I don't know what respectable soup-maker doesn't push the Jambalaya. For the better part of a decade the whole reason I ordered Jambalaya, or anything remotely Jambalaya-based, was solely to sneak in "Jambalaya!" like a giddy, portly, soup-starved mail carrier. Marketing 101, really.
