Jenny Levison / Souper Jenny
Jennifer Levison is an actress and entrepreneur who is also known in Atlanta as the original “Soup Diva.”
A native of Atlanta, she opened her first restaurant 17 years ago with only two employees and today has four restaurants and a juice bar/vegan lunch spot and employs a staff of 48.
Jenny spends most of her time re-enforcing her mission of hospitality one bowl of soup at a time. She daily strives to be part of the Atlanta community and for each guest to be treated like friends and family.
When she is not slinging soup, Jenny is still an actress and enjoys performing in local theaters. Most recently she was one of two leads in “Calendar Girls” at Georgia Ensemble Theatre.
Jenny’s next goal is to work on her “Tom’s” One for one model of philanthropy and feed hungry families for every meal sold at Souper Jenny.
