Knorr Cup a Soup

Knorr Cup a Soup is a popular brand of instant dehydrated soup designed for quick consumption. The brand Knorr was originally founded in Heilbronn, Germany, by Carl Heinrich Theodor Knorr in 1838. He pioneered experiments in drying seasonings and vegetables to preserve nutrients and flavor, eventually leading to the launch of the first Knorr dried soups in 1873. Today, Knorr is one of the world's most recognized food brands, sold in nearly every corner of the globe.

Since 2000, Knorr has been owned by Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company. While the brand has German roots, its manufacturing is highly decentralized. For the European market, production frequently takes place in large regional facilities located in countries like Poland, Germany, and France to ensure efficient distribution. The ownership remains under Unilever's global umbrella, and as of 2026, it continues to be a cornerstone of their Nutrition business group.
