Massy Soups
Highlights
Please Read Until the Brick-and-mortar shop for Massy Soups opens in a few months, (there have been delays in construction) we are currently making our soups available through Sky's Gourmet Tacos Restaurant at 5303 West Pico Blvd. (Sky's is our current "Virtual" Kitchen.) You may buy our soups there, either flash frozen or they will reheat it for you. I’m J. David Riva and I am happy to share with you the culinary world and artistry of my traditional homemade soups. Meet my Grandmother Massy (Marlene Dietrich). Of course, some knew her better as “The Blue Angel” or as a war hero, but most knew her simply as Marlene and some knew her as a glamorous legend of the silver screen. But to me, she has always been my Massy. She got the nickname when my eldest brother, Michael, had difficulty saying Marlene when he was very little, and his innocent mispronunciation stuck. I decided to call the company Massy Soups to reflect the culture and traditions of my family and its experiences with food, specifically in Europe and Eastern Europe. I’ve been making these ever since I hovered over my mother's stove and then spent my first summer in Paris with my grandmother as a child, where she taught me how she cooked and introduced me to the culinary traditions of France. I’d now like to introduce the rest of the world to these deliciously intoxicating and healing soups.
