Souper Cubes
ActiveOverview
Souper Cubes produces silicone freezer trays and kitchen accessories for portioning, freezing, and storing soups, stocks, broths, and sauces. The brand targets home cooks and meal preppers, emphasizing stackable designs and precise fill lines to reduce food waste. It gained prominence after a Shark Tank appearance in 2020, leading to expanded distribution including Costco and The Container Store, with annual revenue estimated at $3-4 million as of 2024.125
History
Souper Cubes was founded in 2018 by Jacob and Michelle Sendowski, who developed the product in 2017 to improve freezing and reheating of chicken stock using Jake's engineering background. The company achieved $950,000 in its first full year and pitched on Shark Tank Season 12 in 2020, securing a $400,000 investment for 5% equity from Lori Greiner at an $8 million valuation. Post-Shark Tank, sales reached $1.6 million in 2020, with growth into new products and retailers like Costco in 2024.234
