SIPSOPA is instant Latin soul food. We make authentic, convenient, and healthy Latin soups—like chupe and ajiaco—ready in just minutes. It’s a taste of abuela’s cocina mixed with a little space magic (a.k.a. freeze-drying tech).

Great question! Here’s the back story:

Eduardo was working long hours away from home, living solo sometimes, and needed something healthy, tasty, and instant. He stocked up on Campbell’s soups and instant ramen at Maria's suggestion. But after a while, he was like...¡Quiero los sabores de mi casa! He wanted something that tasted like home—like his mom, Myriam’s kitchen—but couldn’t find it.

So, he started poking around: What does it take to make an instant soup, but with Latin flavors?

The idea started as a little dream called Las Mamitas—a nickname Eduardo’s mom, Myriam, always used.

Eduardo’s first soup trials? Disasters. Think: circuit breakers tripping, kitchen full of powders, and way too many bowls of watery, sad soup. But each day, the soups got better.

He bought a freeze dryer (because why not?), tried freeze-drying his soups and made a total mess of the kitchen. That’s when he realized: I need help.

Over the next few months, some extraordinary food scientists, chefs, flavor wizards, and designers came on board. They turned Eduardo’s crazy idea into a real product: SIPSOPA.

Now, we’re a small but mighty team making authentic Latin soups that taste like home, wherever you are.

We’re working to build a leading product development platform that identifies global flavors and transforms them into healthy, portable products. We mix a lot of instinct, a little science, and technology to create an unprecedented flavor portfolio.

We started with Latin flavors because that’s our gente—our community, our culture, our heart—and we know how to talk to them.

But our vision goes way beyond Latin America. We want to celebrate global food cultures by making authentic, convenient, and good-for-you products that feel like home, no matter where home is.

And we can’t do it alone. We rely on an extraordinary network of chefs, scientists, experts, suppliers, and partners. They’re the secret sauce that makes SIPSOPA possible.

We’re a friends and family-run business. Together, we’re cooking up a whole new way to enjoy Latin flavors. Meet the team behind SIPSOPA.

It’s simple: sip a sopa = SIPSOPA. It’s a little Spanglish, a lot of flavor, and a whole lot of love.

Nothing weird. Just:

1. Freeze-dried proteins (chicken, shrimp, beef).
2. Dehydrated veggies.
3. Natural spices (aji amarillo, cumin, guasca, etc.).
4. Dairy powders (for creamy soups).

It’s the real deal, like abuela would make (if she had a freeze-dryer).

Sí, claro.

SIPSOPA is made with real food and real intention — no shortcuts, no weird stuff.

We start with USDA Grade A organic chicken, real vegetables like freeze-dried potatoes and whole sweet corn kernels, and authentic, culinary-grade herbs and spices.

Freeze-drying helps us lock in flavor and nutrition without relying on preservatives.

Here’s what that means for you:

• Good source of protein
• Good source of potassium
• Up to 50% less sodium than traditional instant soups
• No preservatives
• No artificial colors or flavors
• No sugar added
• 0 g trans fat
• Single-serve and portion-controlled

And because healthy should also be practical:

• Shelf-stable (no refrigeration needed)
• Lightweight and travel-friendly
• Ready in minutes — just add hot water

In short:

It’s comforting, satisfying, and thoughtfully made — the kind of soup you can actually feel good about eating.

(And yes… we could keep going, but we’ll stop here)

Yep! Freeze-drying preserves the good stuff—flavor, nutrients—without needing weird preservatives. Just add hot water, stir, and boom: safe, delicious soup.

2. Add room temperature water to the outside fill line (~9.5 oz) and stir.
3. Microwave (on high) without the lid for 2 minutes.
4. Remove from the microwave, stir a few times, and cover with the lid for 3 minutes.
5. Stir again and enjoy!

No cooking needed. If you’ve got hot water (from a kettle, microwave, or dispenser), you’re good to go.

Stored right (dry place, not in the sun), SIPSOPA lasts 6 to 12 months—and technically, up to 25 years (freeze-drying is magic like that). But honestly, you’ll finish it way before then.

We’ll be available:

1. Online first: Shopify, Instagram Shop, TikTok Shop, and Amazon.
2. In stores soon: We’re working on it!

Currently, we ship within the U.S. only.

Orders typically ship within one to three business days, and often sooner. Once your order ships, you’ll receive tracking information so you can follow your sopa all the way home. Delivery times depend on your location and the carrier and may vary during holidays or busy shipping periods.

Of course. You can pause, skip, or cancel your subscription anytime through your customer account — no stress, no drama.
