Celebrity-loved supermarket Erewhon has baffled shoppers with yet another wildly-priced pantry staple. 

The famously expensive grocery store, which has 10 stores around Los Angeles, sells typical pantry items and fresh organic fruit and vegetables.

Justin Bieber, Brooklyn Beckham, and the Kardashians are just some of the A-listers who have been spotted at the up-scale market. 

While the chain may be beloved by the stars, it has been ridiculed for slapping hefty price tags on everyday staples on numerous occasions over the years.

And the latest food favorite to horrify shoppers is no different. The store is now offering 32-ounce soups for a whopping $25 each - only you must buy two at a time, forcing shoppers to fork out a staggering $50 for two jars.

Foodies have flocked to social media to comment on the hefty prices.  

One outraged person wrote on X, formerly Twitter: 'Aia mentioned Erewhon, and I didn't know what that was, so I Googled it. WHY IS THEIR SOUP $50?'

A second scathed: 'Seriously? Are you buying your vegetables and poultry at Evewhon?

'For $50, I could go to Kroger, and make enough chicken soup to feed an entire soccer team.' 

'I have been taking out some high interest loans to get soup from Erewhon lately,' joked someone else.

'Imagine going to Erewhon, getting two jars of soup, and the cashier goes, "OK your total will be $97,"' added another user.

'Erewhon is great if you want to spend $400 for two cans of soup and a banana,' read a fifth tweet.

A sixth said: 'Went into Erewhon for some soup, and ended up spending $95.'

One person defended the brand and wrote: 'Listen to me, I am sick and tired of being JUDGED for liking Erewhon.

'Tell me WHERE ELSE you can get a soup that good? That HEARTY? NOT WHOLE FOODS. I'll pay TOP DOLLAR for GOOD SOUP.'

But the soup isn't the only expensive thing available at the store. Other shockingly pricey items include a $19 bottle of 'raw milk'
