New York -- SoupMan Inc. announced The Original SoupMan is now available in the soup aisle of more than 3,000 supermarkets across the United States.

Soup fans can now find The Original SoupMan, packaged in its new, shelf-stable Tetra Recart carton, in the soup aisle of many of the nation's largest supermarket chains.

"As we bring The Original SoupMan to supermarket soup aisles, my hope is that we can help parents and their kids get started on a healthier path to improve the way we all eat," said Shaquille O'Neal, brand ambassador and equity partner.  "We won't be able to bring about change alone -- this will take a team effort among food companies, schools, parents, kids and more, but I'm proud to add my voice to this urgent need to combat this health epidemic with The Original SoupMan."

The Original SoupMan soups sold in supermarkets feature the same obsessive perfectionism and eclectic varieties for which the brand is famous, starting with Lobster Bisque, Chicken Noodle, Lentil and Tomato Bisque. Suggested retail price is $3.79 to $3.99 for a two-serving, 17.3 oz. carton.

"We're about great soup and, like Shaq, we're on a mission to provide great-tasting food to families that make it easy and affordable to eat more healthily," said Arnold Casale, CEO, SoupMan Inc.  "Now that our soups are stocked in the soup aisle of supermarkets around the country, we're delighted that The Original SoupMan is conveniently available to families nationwide."
