From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Al Yeganeh, also known as the Original SoupMan, is the founder of Soup Kitchen International and the inspiration for the Seinfeld episode no. 116 "The Soup Nazi". It is in this episode where Yeganeh is fictionally portrayed as the tyrannical purveyor of his soups, making all of his customers follow a strict set of rules if they wish to successfully procure a bowl of one of his coveted liquid masterpieces.

The 1993 romantic comedy Sleepless in Seattle also refers to him — though not by name — as explained in the commentary.
