I'm a soup head. In that, I could pretty much eat soup every day. I also love making soup. (Go on, look in my freezer and you'll see a variety of containers of frozen soups.) Yes, I realize I'm reviewing a chain, but it's new to me and a this particular location recently opened up near work and it's been my twice weekly thing for lunch.
Noteworthy:
– As a vegetarian, I like that they have such a large selection of soups and that they're denoted as V L D (Vegetarian, Low Fat, Dairy Free). My favorites/staples: 10 Vegetable, Winter Vegetable with Dumplings, and Potato-Leek.
– The "Everyday Soups" are less expensive than the Daily Specials. Though, considering other food choices in the area (read: craptastic), you're really not shelling out a lot of cash for what you get: homemade soup. On average I spend $5-6 for a medium size soup.
– The staff here are incredibly nice and always seem to be in good spirits and smiling. I honestly don't know how they deal with the general public here who sometimes sample about 4 soups and then have no idea what to order, further congesting the line. Come on now, people, read the menu online before you come here. OR, better yet, order online from their website and get out of my way.
– My only complaint–and this has nothing to do with this location, but rather the chain–is that their soups have so much sodium. It would be great if they could reduce the salt in their soups on the whole, or have a low-sodium menu. And no, I'm not the "health police", I cook and I know that one can make an incredibly tasty soup with less salt.
Just go already. Jeez.
I like this spot. Get here before noon to beat the lunch crowd. There is seating with cut lentil and beans tables.
I like getting the any-five topping salad.
My go-to soup is the chicken vegetable soup.
The Dijon Chicken pretzel croissant is pretty good.
Only tried their salad and it was pretty good. I ordered the pre-packaged chicken walnut avocado salad and it was delicious. The grilled chicken did not have any of the weird chicken taste like some other places. And it was very fresh.
My friend tried one of their shrimp soup and she was very happy with her food. Overall, I'll definitely return again to try other salad and soup
This particular branch always has at least one variety of soup that I like whether it's a seafood bisque or a corn chowder it's all good. This one is a relatively busy one, but the line always moves at a perfect pace (for me it's enough time to read the board to figure out which soup I want)
Payment is also easy. I always take out from here so I have no opinion on seating, but in Manhattan it's always tough to get a seat in a place like this.
Good food for such a large chain. The winners for me are the make your own salad of course and the chicken and corn soup (it's delish). The line however is always insane. If they could speed things up or add a staff member to the salad line it would be a near-perfect quick lunch spot.
