Best restaurant for soups

[Steve]

Ever since I saw the "soup Nazi" on Seinfeld I've wished we could have a place that just specializes in great soups here in OKC. I know that in other areas of the country such restaurants do exist. Am I missing something - are there some restaurants that have a variety of soups and that is their speciality?

I have to say that TGI Friday's has the best potato soup. I've had Charleston's as well, and it is wonderful. Although, my opinion is that TGI Friday's is still the best! Try it.

Ok. But I'm looking for a place that offers a half dozen varieties or more...

Soup or Salad?

[tburn]

I think Souper Salad is best known for their variety on the Salad Bar -- they only offer 2-3 soups and one of them is Chili

Panera Bread has 4-6 soup options every day

Gourmet Deli on N. Western has a large variety of soups listed on their board each day (Hungarian Mushroom is my fav!)

Lots of places have a "Soup du Jour" that you can bet is always delish!
but probably only 1 or 2 choices

hungarian mushroom.... that sounds good! -M

I know you are wanting restaurants that serve several different soups, but here is my take on a few restaurants that make 1 or 2 soups exceptionally well.

Paseo Grill - best cream of mushroom soup I have ever had. I normally hate any recipe that uses cream of mushroom.

Cafe 501 - I used to think Nonna's had the best tomato basil until I tried theirs.

Mahogany - Lobster and crab bisque. Hands down the best soup I have ever had. Boulevard also makes a great lobster bisque.

Try N&D Foods on Britton. They usaully have 10 or so you can buy and take home. I tried the crab and corn bisque and it was really good.

N&D Foods - where is that located?

Ditto Paseo's Cream of Mushroom. Yummy, yummy, yum.

[ApplePearBerry]

Panera Bread.

[Steve]

Thanks Southern. Google wasn't so friendly - it was showing a NW 50th address to me. I think I'll check ND out.

Steve, be sure to try a cookie when you are there. They are insane! They actually have about 15 kinds of soup.

[dismayed]

Locally-owned Plaid Cafe in Norman has some very good soups.

[southernskye]

Steve, let us know if you go and try it. It sounds good. They don't seem to have a website.

[CCOKC]

The mushroom soup at Paseo is great. Also, Jason's has probably 6 or 7different soups and at least 3 that are vegetarian which is important to me.
I posted somewhere else on here that I would love to see a soup shop that has dozens of soups like seemed to be on every block in NYC. I think we could support one.

[lasomeday]

CCOKC try N D Foods. They have 15 different kinds of soup and their cookies are really good too! They have more than just soup. You will have to check it out.

[CCOKC]

I definitely will. Thanks.

NO WAY could we support a soup shop...the math doesn't come close to working.

Can you elaborate?

[tuck]

Can you elaborate?

For a soup shop to work, the square footage must be incredibly small and really rely on walk-up traffic. Almost like a counter with 8 stools...thats it. Then you would have to sell 300 cups a day @ $3.00 to generate $6-&7k per week (if open 7 days a week). Not much left over at those numbers. I don't see 300 cups of soup being sold per day, especially from June - September.

just me opinion.
