Simply Soupreme is a 100% plant-based, small-batch soup company founded by culinary entrepreneur Jason Michael Murphy. Based in Mt. Tremper, New York, at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, Simply Soupreme crafts wholesome soups that are soy-free, gluten-free, and free of additives or preservatives. Every batch is made with care, highlighting the best of the Hudson Valley’s seasonal harvests.

A Mission Rooted in Nourishment

At Simply Soupreme, Jason brings together that experience with a passion for clean, plant-based cooking. The company works directly with local farms—including Dirt Dance (Kingston), Long Season (Kerhonkson), and Windfall (Montgomery)—to source the freshest ingredients each week. The result is a vibrant lineup of soups such as Veggie Chili, Carrot Ginger, Curried Yellow Split Pea, Italian Tomato Vegetable, Gazpacho, Watermelon Gazpacho, Spring Pea with Mint, and Chilled Cucumber.

Beyond flavor, Simply Soupreme is guided by values. Jason has long collaborated with organizations like the Restaurant Opportunities Center, One Love Community Fridge, A Little Piece of Light, and Keep Growing Detroit, to advance food justice and access. During the pandemic, he founded a mobile soup kitchen that delivered hot meals to people waiting in food pantry lines—an extension of his belief that good food should be both nourishing and accessible.

The Only Small-Batch Vegan Soup Company in the Catskills

As the Catskills’ only dedicated small-batch vegan soup producer, Simply Soupreme has quickly found a home at farmers markets in Delhi, Phoenicia and Kingston. The soups are designed to taste good and feel good too—healthy, satisfying, and rooted in the local food system.

With Simply Soupreme, Jason Murphy is bringing together his background in wholesale soup, his passion for plant-based cuisine, and his commitment to equity in food systems—serving up soups that embody both comfort and conscience.
