This is a place to be experienced, not just read about on Google or Yelp, hoping that you go there one day. Pictures don’t do it justice. Donna knocks it out of the park with her homemade soups, spring rolls (I couldn’t pick a favorite, they were all THAT good), and desserts. To top it off, she is kind and you can tell she puts a lot of love into her craft and enjoys sharing her gift with others, which makes it even better. I was there for my birthday and she treated me like a queen. I felt like by the time I left I had made a new friend and can’t wait to go back the next time I visit D.C. I would be here every week if I lived in the area. Prepare to go with a big appetite, because you will want to try EVERYTHING.

Donna's homemade soups, spring rolls, and desserts are consistently praised by reviewers for their exceptional quality and flavor. The soups, in particular, are a standout, with one reviewer noting that they've never met a soup they didn't enjoy. The honey grilled cheese is also a favorite among visitors.
Be aware that wait times can be an issue, and some reviewers have reported disappointing service. Reservations may be a good idea, especially during peak hours. Online ordering is available, but it's worth noting that not all menu items may be available for takeout.

Since an order of soup starts at $10, it’s easy to spend $25-50 per visit, and I have done so many times since they opened. Today, however, I was so disappointed in the service that I just left. I waited for the server to finish with the gentleman ahead of me and asked her for the chicken noodle soup because I had seen it on the web site (online orders page) before I left home. She advised me that they didn’t have it today and showed me the menu du jour. As I began to order the chicken corn chowder, she turned and served the lady who had walked in behind me. The server said nothing to me and never made eye contact again, even as I walked out. Very sad service, very disrespectful. I will not return. Once was too many. I went to Peaches Kitchen where I spent $50 on chicken and veggie patties, juice, pie, and more. Was in and out in about five minutes WITHOUT THE HASSLE. I don’t understand why some restaurants and stores mistreat their customers, especially at Soup Up’s prices and with so much competition. Goodbye, Soup Up. Do better.

Soup Up 🍲 never disappoints. I have yet to meet a soup there I didn't enjoy. Each one is rich and flavorful and full of love. The honey grilled cheese is also a favorite. Go taste the magic and you will be a convert too!!
