The concept of a restaurant soup company started as a vision back in 1984 at our fruit market, Tom Maceri’s Fruit Market on Detroit’s eastside. There we developed soups made with our own produce that is received daily direct from growers to the warehouse in Detroit. The “For Real” vegetable was a hit. Made with over 25 vegetables, it is still a favorite today at the restaurant. Some restaurants make their soup in house. Some buy them frozen from manufacturers. We make over 150 varieties of soup from scratch in house. Alot of the varieties are made from old family traditions. My great grandma Angelina had a restaurant in Detroit, later relocating to Tucson. My grandma Pauline helped her in the restaurant. My mom and I lived with grandma. She gave me the inspiration and knowledge to cook and bake. The soup concept came clear to me while my son had to eat dinner through a straw for his 15 oral surgeries.
You can find restaurant housemade soups in a wide variety at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs offering catering and delivery throughout Metro Detroit, Michigan located in Shelby Twp., Mi. on Hayes and 21 Mile. www.soup-scoop.com.
