Plot
Jerry, George and Elaine patronize a new soup stand Kramer has been praising; its owner is referred to as the "Soup Nazi," due to his temperament and insistence on a strict manner of behavior while purchasing an order. Jerry explains the procedure for purchasing, which George accepts but Elaine rejects. En route, Elaine notices a sidewalk furniture dealer with an armoire for sale and decides to stop and purchase it. However, when she returns with it to her building, the building superintendent informs her that moving items inside is prohibited on Sundays.
Outside the soup stand, Jerry encounters Kenny Bania who Jerry refuses to let him cut in front of him since they'll both be denied their soup. When Jerry and George arrive at the soup stand where Jerry orders Medium Crab Bisque, George follows the procedure where he orders Medium Turkey Chili, but notices that no free bread was included with his purchase since the person before him didn't pay for his bread. Jerry instructs him to ignore it, but George requests bread and is told its price is $2.00. When George mentions the free bread that customers before him received, he is then informed that the price increased to $3.00. George's continued protest is met with a harsh "No soup for you!" from the Soup Nazi, followed by the cashier immediately confiscating his purchase and brusquely refunding his payment.
