About the Soup Chefs

Marie-Hélène and Melinda are moms with a lot of technical expertise, a lot of kids, and just enough knowledge and dedication to pull all of that together into Pear Soup.

When we think of pears, we think of something sweet, and cool, and comforting. It is the shape we make when our children hug us around our knees. It’s how things go sometimes, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s a pear-shaped world, and we love it.

“God, I wish there were more to life than drinking Margaritas, reading trashy novels, and enduring my husband’s hour-long foot rubs.” —Marie-Hélène

“I really wish that Clive Owen would stop calling when I’m in the middle of my online crossword. Kids! Stop with the vacuum already! I can’t concentrate!” —Melinda

Each quote on Pear Soup is genuine (we couldn’t possibly make this stuff up) and attributed by first name and age - an archive of children’s bloopers and honest revelations. Even if they don’t seem especially funny today, they will be funny someday. Trust us.
