What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

On the Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives episode 'Soup-Centric' (aired 2014-11-14), Soup Nation showed off its rotating lineup of more than 80 international soups, narrowed to nine daily choices and made from scratch down to the stocks, broths, and sourdough bread, with gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free options offered every day. The soup-and-salad counter operated on High Street in downtown Eugene, Oregon, drawing a loyal local following for its scratch cooking. The shop served both sit-down bowls and take-home quarts, and rotated its soup board through the full 80-plus recipe list across the calendar year.

According to Triple D Life, which cites The Register-Guard newspaper, Soup Nation closed permanently on 2018-11-26. A Yelp listing for the High Street address, updated 2026-07, still shows the business marked as permanently closed, with no indication of a successor tenant at the location among the sources reviewed.
