Our Story

The real thing, back for a second season.

In 2025, Pat & Jamie East set out to bring Darn Good Soup back. That meant buying three things: the name, the recipes, and the customer goodwill. The name is iconic, and it says everything about the soup and how it's made. The recipes represent years of trial and error. And the whole time it was gone, Bloomington kept talking about Darn Good Soup like it never left.

Our Partners

Darn Good Soup team

Darn Good Soup is served inside Chocolate Moose in both Bloomington and Nashville. The two businesses fit together: soup sells in the winter when ice cream slows down, and ice cream sells in the summer when soup does. Sharing a counter and a crew keeps both going year round.

It also means Pat & Jamie don't have to rent a kitchen or build a restaurant from scratch. They get to spend their time on the recipes and the people eating them.
