Which Seinfeld season included the episode 'The Soup Nazi'?

The story behind the answer

Which Seinfeld season included the episode “The Soup Nazi”? Season 7.

“The Soup Nazi” is the sixth episode of Seinfeld’s seventh season and the series’ 116th episode overall. It first aired on NBC on November 2, 1995. The story follows Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer dealing with Yev Kassem, a soup vendor whose strict ordering rules inspire the nickname “the Soup Nazi.”

Writer Spike Feresten based the character on Al Yeganeh, the Iranian-American owner of Soup Kitchen International in New York City. The episode’s famous ordering ritual and the line “No soup for you!” quickly became part of the show’s cultural vocabulary. Larry Thomas played the fictional soup vendor.

A common mix-up is confusing the episode’s season with its production number or overall episode number. “The Soup Nazi” is not from Season 6 or Season 8: its official placement is Season 7, Episode 6. The season also included notable episodes such as “The Contest,” “The Invitations,” and “The Pool Guy.”
