Growing up living with my grandma, cooking and baking was instilled in me. I can remember back to the age of 6 rolling out the Italian cookie dough. Everyday was a lesson on cooking. Getting married at the age of 18, grandma made sure I knew the secret of her pasta sauce. Over the years friends and family have mentioned that I should jar it. Well, that is in the plan, but for now we serve it in our soup rotation as a side and can be taken home by the quart. It is also available for catering along with our famous meatballs, breaded chicken with homemade ammoglio, Italian sausage, roast beef, salads, pitas, subs, and over 150 varieties of homemade soups.

Maceri’s Pasta sauces are available to order in tomato sauce, meat sauce, alfredo, and palomino sauce. They are found at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas, Subs, and Catering in Shelby Twp, Mi. serving the surrounding areas including Sterling Heights, Clinton Twp, Utica, Macomb, Warren, St Clair Shores, Rochester, and Detroit. 586-566-7484. www.soup-scoop.com

The nations Soup Lady® is Michigan based. There is a soup man and now there is a Soup Lady®. As soup season approaches, you will find the widest variety of homemade soups and Maceri’s Pasta Sauce at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop®.

Growing up living with her Grandma gave her the aspiration and knowledge to make that dream a reality. Lori’s great grandma, Angelina, had a restaurant in Detroit in the 1940’s; she wanted to create something that brought those times back.” She started making soups at Tom Maceri’s Fruit Market on Detroit’s eastside back in 1984. That is also where their subs were first created including “For Real Vegetable” which has over 30 vegetables in it. Italian flare is also among the soup rotation including Maceri’s Pasta Sauces, Angelina’s Minestrone™, Stracciatella, & Pasta Fagioli.

Famous among friends and family for her soups and pasta sauces, serving from a list of over 150 varieties, Lori says she wanted to bring that homemade touch to the business and provide a different option for Metro Detroit in a comfortable restaurant setting with reasonable value and pricing. All of the soups are the same price. From Seafood Bisque to Chicken Noodle, it is what you would expect to pay for soup. Would you charge more for Spumoni than Vanilla ice cream?

The addition of half-and-half or milk turns an Italian soda into a creamosa or French soda. It can also be made into an Italian Soda Float served with Premium Ashby’s Vanilla, French Vanilla, or Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

Surprisingly, the Italian soda recipe we know today did not originate in Italy. Some sources credit an immigrant Italian family living in San Francisco during the 1920s with concocting the familiar syrup and sparkling water beverage. Using imported coffee flavorings from Italy, the family would mix up their Italian soda recipe in the back room of their grocery store. The drink soon became popular as an alternative to flavored coffees or espresso.

The key to a good Italian soda is quality syrup. Companies originally offered flavored syrups designed specifically for coffee; hazelnut, vanilla, caramel and amaretto, for example. With the Italian soda’s rise in popularity, many companies began producing flavors inspired by fruit, cola and liqueur extracts.

Italian Sodas and Creamosas are served in Shelby Twp, Michigan at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas & Subs, Michigan’s homemade Soup Company and Ashby’s Sterling Ice Cream Parlor located on the nw corner of 21 Mile and Hayes. www.soup-scoop.com

During this season of colds and flu, you will appreciate the hefty dose of vitamin C that it delivers.  Chills, fevers, and sore throats may be due to a variety of causes, never the less the lemon is always a helpful remedy. Here is a method that works well. The juice of one lemon is to be added to a cup of hot water with honey. My grandma Pauline used to give it to me when I was sick.  It alway made me feel better.  She called it hot lemonade. 

If you prefer something cold, Italian Lemon Ice is sure to sooth your throat. We make it homemade with fresh squeezed lemons at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop, Pitas and Subs.

Squeeze a lemon into your soup and it is alive with sunshine. Chicken Lemon Rice Soup is a favorite at our restaurant any time of year.

My grandma would make me roll the dough for her italian cookies.  During the holidays she would get the dough ready during the day, and after school  I would bake them.  When I had nothing to do I would create and bake.  Since then, I have dessert catered my cookies along with other finger desserts. Some of the favorite cookies include Italian cookies, chocolate chip, snickerdoodles, white chocolate raspberry, kiss cookies, and many more.  During the holidays at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop you can get Italian cookies, chocolate chip, pumpkin chocolate chip, egg nog, chocolate mint, and white chocolate cranberry.  These cookies are all orderable. Advanced notice is required.  Our famous chocolate chip cookies make great ice cream sandwiches and sundaes topped with Sanders Hot Fudge and of course Ashbys Ice Cream. They also make great gifts.

It is as authentic as it gets. The sauce is simmered all day to get the best flavor.  It is cooked with a special blend of meat to get all of the savory juices.  The meat is then taken out to produce a smooth meatless sauce. We also serve the best homemade meatballs offered on our catering menu.

Come in and enjoy a reminiscence of grandma’s house and taste the family tradition of our homemade pasta sauce at Maceri’s Soup & Scoop®, Pitas & Subs located at 21 Mile and Hayes in Shelby Township, Michigan. You can also have our sauce with penne pasta at your catered event.  www.soup-scoop.com
