Q: This is so complicated! I just want some soup!
Here are answers to some of the questions you may have. If you have any others drop me an e-mail or text.
Q: I don't understand how the prices are listed. What's this about a "base price?"
To reduce the amount of packaging that gets thrown away as a result of my soup, I'm listing a base price just for the soup. but of course, you can't carry your soup home in your hands. You need somekind of container. If you are coming to the pop-up soupwagon, you can bring a bowl or container (that holds the amount of soup you want to buy) and only pay the base price. Otherwise, you can also pay for a plastic to-go container or pay a deposit and get a great returnable glass canning jar. When you return the (rinsed) jar you can get your money back or trade for newly sterilized, filled jars.
Q: What about tax?
A: I calculated the tax into the price of the soup. It's just simpler. Think of it as a 6% off coupon. :-)
Q: Can I return the plastic container?
A: I can't boil the plastic containers to sterilize them, so I can't accept them as returns.
Q: I'd like to get some soup delivered, but I won't be home.
A: leave a small cooler and ice pack on your porch and I'll drop the soup in the cooler.
Q: What if I don't live in the right neighborhood?
A: I only deliver within a small geographical area, so I can get deliveries done in a reasonable amount of time. You could come to the pop-up soupwagon.
Q: How many people will a quart of soup feed?
A: If it is a first course or light lunch, figure one quart for four people. If it is the main part of a meal, figure one quart will feed two. My soups are created with nutrition in mind and are hearty.
Q: How long can I keep my soup?
To a large extent that depends on your refrigerator. But assume at least 5 days, and most of the soups can be frozen.
Q: I really liked the soup I got last week. Can I get some more of that?
A: No, all of the soups are "limited edition." Once the batch is gone, it's gone. I could return the most popular soups to the rotation, though. Leave me a review of the one you liked with and contact info (this will not be public) and I'll notify you when I make it again.
