Hello to all of you that backed us via Kickstarter. It’s hard to put into words how happy we are with the support you have shown us. What started as a dream to own and run a soup cafe has become something so much bigger. Thanks to you, we now have a purpose-built commercial kitchen (2013) which has been extended (2015) and can supply (even) more great Edinburgh independents.
Given the philosophy and values that Union of Genius works on, it is fitting that we have grown thanks to the community we work with every day. You made soup happen!
