Sopitas is a success! Its fresh, healthy and gluten-free ingredients are ideal for those of us who take care of our health. They are the perfect option for a light dinner, especially after a long day at work, when it is most tempting to order less healthy food. I love what they do and it is a great plus to be able to receive orders the same day. May they continue to prosper and create more soups!
