Great soup. Real people. Best jerk chicken wings I've ever had. Will be coming back when I'm cold and hungry again.

The chicken soup is by far the most delicious soup I've ever tried. As someone who doesn't typically like chicken soup , I actually crave this one. The yam and apple spring rolls are also delicious. All the soups I've had from here have been great and filling. read more

Best soup in the DMV! Love the jerk shrimp rolls and cocoa bread too.

Spring Rolls 5/5 Customer Service 2/5 Prices 3/5 So I came here thinking I was going to get some soup. I had a few samples, which were good, but then realized the small soup costs about $10... Personally, I'm not going to pay $10 for soup. The woman behind the counter was also less than pleasant and had her baby on the floor on the other side of the restaurant. I understand and sympathize that sometimes working mothers have to bring their babies with them. But they shouldn't leave that baby out of sight, in a carrier on the floor, where anyone has access to them. All of the spring rolls I tried ( curry chicken, jerk chicken, jerk shrimp) were fantastic. read more

First time here and I REALLY enjoyed it!!! I thought I would be able to finish this full medium but I'm tapping out. Will definitely be back again! Apparently, the menu changes every day which I think is really cool as well. read more

Soup Up - Lentil soup with andouille turkey sausage and smoked chicken - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This place is phenomenal and one of a kind. Everything is made in house and everyday has different soup specials. That's how you know this is a home grown business; which also happens be owned and ran by the sweetest, most personable woman. I honestly suggest ordering in and getting to know the amazing people that own this place. I went on the first chilly, rainy day of the season and was beyond pleased to find she had tomato soup AND was ecstatic to find she had grilled cheese. It was like my childhood all over again but the soup was miles better than anything canned (sorry Campbell's). Soup is not just a winter thing! I was craving their summer seasonal soups during the dog days of summer. They also have handmade smoothies and a variety of vegan treats. Possibly my favorite part is the egg rolls. I could fill up alone on their Curry and Jerk rolls. They're so well cooked and not like anything you'd get through takeout. Guys, do not miss out on this place! It's a family business in the growing Kennedy street heights neighborhood that NEEDS your support. Hopefully I'll see you there! read more

The spiciness of their dishes was on point! First time here and I loved everything I ordered. The young lady who catered to us was very kind and helpful. Refreshing ambiance and the avocado plant on the tables were a bonus to look at. read more

The city's perpetual humidity and dampness (please Lord let it rain already!) has left me feeling a bit underneath the weather. Thanks to Soup Up, I'm already feeling tons better! Their herb chicken soup puts your mama to shame. It's chunky and zesty and even a bit spicy. Every single sip will warm you up, calm you down, and make you feel good about life in general. It's like a warm hug in a bowl. What's even better is Soup Up uses no milk or butter in any of their bases and is committed to only using the freshest, local ingredients possible. They post their rotating soup selection daily on their Facebook page and they will give you free samples of everything. For those looking to round out their meals they also serve spring rolls filled with jerk chicken or shrimp! Yum! At $8 for their smallest serving, I find this spot a bit expensive but it truly is a meal in itself. Cheers to the fall! read more

I am so happy this place opened its own spot! The food here is amazing! My husband and I went for brunch after church and got an omelette, shrimp and grits, soup, and jerk wings! The soup is so delicious here and the jerk wings were surprisingly good/spicy! We plan to come back often. The customer service was great as well :) Next time I plan to try the spring rolls and jerk chicken sandwich in coco bread! read more

Great addition to the Kennedy street businesses. I have been there twice in a month and I will definitely keep coming. So far have tried the Dam good Chicken soup and the spring rolls jerk chicken and shrimp. The staff there are overwhelmingly nice and helpful. I have been dying to try the jerk wing but they never have it. I also got a sample of the Matcha ice cream and it is deliciously refreshing. Can't wait to try other food items on the menu. read more

Soup Up - Soup Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

We went there for the first time today, and came away quite impressed. My wife and I both got variations of chicken soup--she the Jamaican style, and mine a style called simply "dam good chicken soup." And it was. Both were hearty and flavorful, perfect for a cool early spring day. I also tried a jerk chicken roll, which was similarly flavorful and had just a bit of kick. The owner is very friendly, and mentioned plans soon for weekend brunch and an expanded breakfast menu. There were a number of containers of soup available for taking home, along with some salads. I hope more people seek this spot out, because the quality is very good, and it's nice to have a unique and healthy option in the neighborhood. read more

I recommend the jerk / curried / and scallion chicken spring rolls. Jerk chicken wings are tasty too. Plus their carrot juice is so good. Their website is done well. I will return to Soup Up for their seasonal offerings. Located in Union Market Soup Up's samples hit the spot. read more

Best SOUP in DC!!! First soups I've had in DC where I thought, "This soup doesn't need anything!". Ms. Donna is a culinary genius, bringing that Jamaican flavor to KDY. Great people, great product, great customer service! read more

Simply amazing! I had a large in both the seafood & chicken.. the seafood was honestly the BEST seafood broth style type of soup that I ever had hands down anyone reading this, I definitely recommend checking them out! (Also, it's a vegan cashew soup that I tried, very flavorful) #Ownedbyladies read more

I had the most fortunate opportunity to stand around and wait on a fresh sample as it came out of the pot at her commercial kitchen. I saw first hand the care and select fresh herbs and veggies she uses. All by hand. No salt but full of flavor. My favorite is Breakfast In Bed. Oh, and those Jerk Eggrolls! Ummmmm! Delish! Donna is an exceptional woman. She loves what she does and her Soups reflect that. I didn't even have soup this good while in Jamaica. And now I don't have to cruise across the Ocean to get some. SoupUp is what's up! read more

Every Sunday from 11  to 2:30 Soup Up offers just that, the menu is not extensive, but it is satisfying. On my plate this week were waffles made with strawberries, blue berries and bananas and topped with whipped cream and more fruit. Read the rest of my review at www.eatbwb.com read more

Love this place and it's soups. I'm so grateful for this place.The staff is friendly and helpful, and the soups are out of this world delicious. You really can taste the love and care that they put into each soups and the ingredients they use. If there is such a thing as the perfect chicken soup, it would be their's. It nursed me back from a bad winter cold in the most delicious way possible. I'll be coming back to buy this stuff in bulk if I could without being sick. I hope this place continues to do well. They deserve 6 stars! read more

Fantastic! Had lentil soup and a couple of the spring rolls today. Hard to find a good soup anywhere but at home. read more

I felt a little chilled and was interested in getting soup to warm up. I've looked at Soup Up each time I've been at Union Market but never really felt enticed by anything in particular. That changed today when I saw curry chicken soup! I ordered a regular for $10.75-quite expensive if you ask me. That's why I can't give 5 stars. The soup was flavorful but not spicy. Loaded with chickpeas, potatoes, carrots, and shredded chicken, this made a delicious meal for lunch! I particularly liked how the chicken was shredded rather than cubed. Service at the food stall was friendly and quick. A long line soon formed after I sat down at one of the tables between Soup Up and Sloppy Mamas BBQ. I'd definitely return to Soup Up again, but I still think the price is a little too high to justify repeated visits here. read more

First time...and not the last! I didn't know that this gem was in my own backyard! I grew up in this neighborhood and still reside within walking distance to this location and never noticed it. Yesterday, I visited with one of my best girlfriend's who mentioned this location to me and talked wonderfully about the soups. I lovveeee soups and so we stopped by for early dinner. The place was very clean, the young lady there was very welcoming and accommodating. We were able to try the souls of the day and each one was wonderful! I decided on the beef bone broth soup as well as a couple of the spring rolls....listen,never again will I have anything but their spring rolls! Amazing! As we sat there I noticed that there is capacity to work inside the location with outlets for chargers and cords everywhere. It was simply beautiful. So much that I look forward to going back! Hopefully,this gem remains in this changing neighborhood! read more

I just had a soup and salad. Incredible! Everything was fresh and homemade. Worth every penny! And get out your pocket book. No doubt it is not cheap in terms of cost; and there is nothing other than it's location that would make you think that it should be cheaper. The cafe itself is beautiful. It has a large reclaimed worktable as an eating bench inside near the front. It gave the place some more character. The decor and furnishings were gorgeous. I had the Kennedy Street Greens Salad with grilled chicken. It came with a spicy homemade balsamic based dressing. It was quite delicious. I also had the red lentil soup that was so delicious. It reminded me of growing up with my mom who was also from the west indies. The food containers and packaging also have an upscale look. I highly recommend the spot. I had it to go but my cousin lives nearby so I have other reasons to come again. read more

I come here all the time. They have delicious soups and teas & juices. I don't know what is in their signature chicken soup, but my sick twin sons were up bouncing around the walls again after eating it. It's just good food! read more

Charming soup and sandwich shop in Brightwood Park. I got the jerk chicken wrap (delicious!) and was tempted by all the soups on rotation when I visited. I'll be back to try to order them all! read more

Delicious soups with thought and care put into the ingredients! They do their best to make soups healthy and nutritious, but you would never know by the flavor because they are absolutely delicious! They even offer vegan soups! The cornbread was delicious too! Can't wait to go back for more! read more

Flavors are on point... - Reminds me of all the L.A. super-healthy spots... * Right in the middle of DC. (This will probably be a goto when I'm in town.) read more

Love this neighborhood soup shop! The soups are always tasty and they have a rotating menu. One soup is vegetarian/vegan so they have something for everyone. They also make great juices on site. Have been multiple times and always have great service! They have a soup card where if you go there often you can earn a soup for free. read more

Excellent place for soup. My taste buds are so happy as is my soul. We had the Breakfast in Bed and the Island Style Fish Tea. Both excellent and seasoned to perfection. Also the jerk chicken rolls rolls were spectacular. Plus, delicious carrot orangeade. So good. Well worth the drive from Montgomery County. read more

Had the jerk chicken spring roll. It tastes pretty good. They have a variety of spring rolls as well as soups to choose from. read more

I have never been to your place, forgive me for the low review. I would like to know what is the name and ingredients of the soup that looks to have sweet potatoes in it, there are bright orange chunks in it, it looks amazing. read more

I live in NJ and I called Soup Up to have a delivery sent to my sick daughter that resides in DC. The owner, Donna, answered the phone and could not have been more helpful and even offered to personally deliver the soup and spring rolls to my daughter's apt! (My daughter lives outside of their delivery area) Please go to Soup Up! The food is super delicious and healthy, and Donna is a beautiful person that deserves our business!!! read more

I absolutely love this place. Today I had the brown stew chicken soup. It was amazingly delicious, full of chicken and veggies. The flavor is well balanced and paired well with the jerk chicken roll. read more

Fresh food, great service. Try this place out. Their soup is the bomb, fresh, no salt. Tasty. I am recommending them to friends and family

This review is long overdue. We have been regular customers since Soup Up opened and have never been disappointed. The soups are incredibly hearty - you never get a spoon with just broth! - and obviously made with quality ingredients. My fav is the Breakfast in Bed. The owner, Donna, is so sweet and obviously cares about the customer experience. Btw, the jerk chicken spring rolls are also outstanding. So glad to have Soup Up in our neighborhood! read more

Soup Up is the best soup we've ever tasted! We approached Donna and asked her to create a customized soup plan, for health benefits. She was very accommodating and produced a superior and flavorful product! We'd been with another local soup vendor, whose soups were healthy, but not nearly as tasty. Our favorites are vegetable lasagna (with cheese), curried chicken, and feisty lentil. AND her spring rolls...wow! Go see Donna, the soupinista! read more

Just checked out Soup Up today and was very impressed! Wonderful spot in the neighborhood! Delicious soups and spring rolls. The owner is absolutely lovely. Can't wait to go back. read more

Donna the owner is great. Great soup and jerk spring rolls. I am new to the neighborhood and finally a good place for heart warming home cooking read more

This place is not just soups! They have jerk shrimp spring rolls, dessert spring rolls (sooo delicious), sandwiches, jerk chicken wraps, tuna wraps and more. I went in for the first time this week and tried the gungo pea soup and the sweet potato spring roll (the dessert spring roll). I was very impressed with the flavors and how light the soup was. The customer service is awesome and the ambiance is similar to a coffee shop, I feel like I could read a book at one of the high tables or have light conversation with a friend. I will definitely be back. read more
