About Us
SOUP LOVE is a kitchen operation based in Virginia Beach serving deliciously heartwarming broths and soups to its loyal patrons. Starting as a passion project in her home kitchen, owner and head chef Amy Markman has always enjoyed cooking for her family and friends. When she began posting images of her homemade soups to her social media channels, and her inbox began to fill with inquiries of how to get a bowl.
Seeing the growth and interest, she decided to build a 150 square foot commercial chef’s kitchen adjacent to her home and began producing and delivering her product throughout the community.
In Spring of 2024 Markman moved her chefs kitchen operation into a much larger production center located off of South Birdneck Road in Virginia Beach. Markman and her team are now able to produce inventory up to 100 gallons of soups and broths each week.
As of November 2025, Soup Love will be offering their complete line of soups and broths in their first brick & mortar retail grab and go location called Soup Love & Co. It will be located at Hilltop North Shopping Center in Virginia Beach, VA.
In addition to our diverse selection of soups & broths, Soup Love & Co. will have a small focused wellness section offering specialty health & wellness items. Come check us out!
As the business continues to grow, Markman and her team make it their priority to provided quality experiences to each customer, aiming to be the go-to place for soup made with love.
