Eula Jean McDowell

Eula Jean McDowell’s journey into the culinary world began in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, where she discovered a passion for cooking while preparing meals for family and friends. What started as a simple love for great-tasting, fresh food soon blossomed into a dedication to beans, inspired by a playful challenge from her grandmother to create the best bean dish. Eula’s creativity and skill in the kitchen quickly earned the admiration of those around her, leading to the birth of a business that would transform the humble bean into something extraordinary.

Her soups, initially shared among friends and family, became so popular that she took them to local farmers’ markets, eventually opening her own storefront in 2011. Today, Eula is known for her hearty, bean-based creations that focus on fresh, wholesome ingredients. With over 50 unique soup recipes and an array of dishes ranging from bean burgers to salads and teas, Eula’s motto is clear: “If you can Dream it, we can Bean It.”
