Vesal Yaghoobi, MD

Vesal Yaghoobi, MD is the founder of Soup & Story, a Connecticut-based artisan soup company created around the idea that convenient food can still be thoughtful, distinctive, and carefully made.

With a background in medicine, pathology, and scientific research, Vesal brings an analytical and creative approach to developing Soup & Story’s products. The company combines carefully developed recipes, distinctive flavors, and a focus on creating food that feels both comforting and special.

Soup & Story began from a personal appreciation for the role food can play in bringing warmth, connection, and a little joy into everyday life. That idea continues to shape the company’s soups, seasonal creations, tasting events, and growing community.

Soup & Story was created to rethink what a convenient meal could look like. Instead of choosing between convenience and quality, the goal is to offer soups that are easy to prepare while still feeling thoughtfully made.

Each recipe is developed with attention to flavor, ingredients, texture, and the experience of sitting down to a warm bowl of soup.
