I found WhatsoupMiami through a news article about small local businesses that were popping up around Miami amidst the pandemic. I read on how they owners would draw inspiration from gastronomy around the world to curate weekly soup menus and how they started the business out of their kitchen. As a huge soup fanatic, I knew I had to try them out. Well, I finally got enjoy the soups and I'll say this: I'll be ordering quite a bit.
How it works: Every week the team behind this genius idea offers about 5 soups (the options change from week to week). They make a post with the details of each soup on social media (@whatsoupmiami) and people can order via DM or text. You can pay via Zelle, Venmo, etc; or cash or credit. The soups are $6 for a 16 oz cup and you can either pick them up at different locations throughout the city or have them delivered for $2.75 (3 soup minimum for delivery and delivery fee is waived if you order 5+ soups).
The soups: Although my first order was this week, I've been following them for a while on social media, so I've been seeing their weekly menus. I love how their soups are all so different: one week they might have soups from Morocco, France and Colombia and the next it's Cuba, Portugal and Venezuela. I ordered their ajiaco bogotano, lentils with chorizo and beet borscht soups and they all tasted delicious and fresh. They came nicely packed with little sides (bread, crema and capers).
The people: The people running the business are amazing. They're so friendly and attentive, and I was surprised at how quick they answered my questions via DM. They even gave me a heads up 15 mins prior to them arriving to deliver my soup! It felt so... human? Like I was getting soup delivered from a friend's kitchen.
I love this place and I can't wait to see them thrive.
