Our Story

The real thing, back for a second season.

In 2025, Pat & Jamie East brought Darn Good Soup back. They set out to buy three things: the name, the recipes, and the customer goodwill. The name is iconic. The 70 recipes represent years of trial and error. And the Bloomington community still talks about Darn Good Soup like it never left.

Our Partners

Darn Good Soup team

While Pat & Jamie own Darn Good Soup, they're partnering with Chocolate Moose where the food is served, so they can focus entirely on the recipes, the food, and the customer experience instead of renting a kitchen and building an operation from scratch.

Also, soup sales are high in the winter while ice cream sales dip, and the opposite is true in the summer. Sharing labor and space is what keeps Darn Good Soup going, season after season.
