Get your passport stamped at each destination and earn free food. We look forward to seeing you at our new locations!

When we set out to create our new German Sausage & Potato recipe we envisioned a creamy soup rich with texture & the perfect balance of spice. The simple yet satisfying flavor of the potato is the star ingredient of this recipe complimented by spicy sausage and scattered with petite peas. It’s a rare occasion that we get the recipe just right the first couple of rounds of testing, but it did not take long for us to fall in love with this recipe.  Our German Sausage & Potato is everything you want in a winter soup.

Our new Shrimp & Corn Chowder is a recipe to be reckoned with. The creamy consistency combined with all of the fresh vegetables and unique spices make this chowder the perfect answer for lunch or dinner. After finishing the recipe the first time, we went back to perfect it even more. All it took was one secret ingredient that took this recipe from good to great. To seal the deal, top this chowder off with bacon crumbles. Available at all of our stores November 23rd - December 5th.

Our new Brazilian Shrimp and Rice is one of those soups that you won’t get anywhere else. A Zupas orginal, we spent a lot of time perfecting the spices and determining the right balance of fresh vegetables and shrimp. The rich flavor and unique pairings in this soup make it unique and intriguing. To give it the perfect tropical touch, we added coconut milk and rice. We are anticipating that this week we will be making extra batches of this new recipe. It was a hit in the test kitchen and do not doubt that you will feel any different. On a scale from 1-10 this featured recipe is an 11.

Our creativity was put to the test with our newest featured recipe.  One taste of our Caribbean Pumpkin & Coconut soup and you’ll anxiously be waiting to finish off the entire bowl. This unique and inventive combination was an effort to recreate a soup we had in the Caribbean. It took a few different methods, adding & subtracting ingredients and perfecting the spice combination, but eventually we got it just right. Don’t miss your chance to have this delicious soup that we can guarantee you won’t find anywhere else.

This unique recipe exceeded our expectations in the test kitchen. Our African Chicken & Peanut soup is made up of a rich peanut base, hearty potatoes and is balanced by the perfect amount of heat. You won’t find another creation out there like this. It took several different tests to get the creaminess and consistency just right.  A good amount of fresh ginger is added for a refreshing touch.  The recipe combination comes together beautifully and is a contender for our top 10 list.

Now serving at all of our 5 locations until October 10th. Bon Apetit!

Our new and unique recipe straight from the test kitchen this week is a definite keeper. The combination of pineapple and sweet potatoes in a rich chowder is unlike anything you have ever had before. Our biggest challenge was creating the perfect amount of spice to compliment the sweet flavors of the pineapple and coconut.  After a few rounds of getting it just right, we knew that we had created a winner. The originality and incredible flavor in this chowder qualifies it as one of our absolute favorites.

Our Southwestern Potato & Green Chile has been a favorite in the test kitchen for a while now.  We served this recipe in our restaurants a few months ago and it was a hit. After countless requests, it’s back! The creamy consistency and rich flavor is complimented by a hint of heat. It’s a perfect meal when topped off with crunchy tortilla strips. Don’t miss your chance to try this Zupas favorite. Next week we’re bringing back another favorite…Salmon Chowder.
