Best restaurant for soups

[kevinpate]

Some folks will surely think I'm crazy, but preservatives (which I'm certain exist in large quantities) not withstanding, the chicken noodle at your typical Golden Corral is not an unwelcome choice. Not as good as My C's, ut not bad, not bad at all

The Gourmet Deli has 7 to 10 soups everyday.

Tulios in east Norman has the best Chicken Tortilla soup I've found. And I've tried all of them.

The Himalayas (Indian Food) Buffet always three or four soups. The Muligatanny and their mushroom soup with saffron are special.

Once again OKC Talk lets me down. I ask for a great soup place and a couple of you suggest ND Foods might worth a try, and one says they thought they might have as many as 10 varieties.
(editing this: now that I look through thread again, LAsomeday nailed it at 15 soups)

So, so, so off base.

ND Foods isn't "worth a try." It DEMANDS a try. 14 soups today. All made from scratch. Tasty, tasty, tasty.

My quest has ended. Thanks OKC Talk!

Did you try the cookies while you were there?

[Steve]

Wanted to. But couldn't.

I'm curious now, where is this place?

Post Edit: Oh nevermind, that's on here already

We went today for lunch. It was great.

Awesome sandwiches, stacked full of meat. Fresh, tasty bread, fresh veggies.

My husband, who can usually pound down a full deli sandwich, had to resort to taking 1/2 of his home.

I had a 1/2 veggie sandwich and their butternut squash soup. Sandwich was fab, the soup - DIVINE.

We stayed away from the pastries, too, although their coconut cake looked awfully tempting.

My ONLY concern is their use of styrofoam with just about everything, except for the paper plates. While I certainly can't claim to be perfect, or even near-perfect when it comes to my own environmental conservation efforts, I certainly try like heck, and do let that factor into which stores I patronize. (HINT: PLASTIC clamshells are recyclable in OKC).

I really wish more places in OKC would get on this particular bandwagon and start serving their products with the environment in mind. I'm certainly aware there is a cost factor here in that most recycled or recyclable products are more expensive than the standard styrofoam.

Just my .02!

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.

[jbrown84]

You would know better than anyone else here.

La Baguette has good French Onion soup.

Pioneer Pie's has good vegetable beef.

If these have already been mentioned, I apologize.

[taylor83]

Prairie Thunder has a couple of great soups. I think their daily soup is Chicken Tortilla and then they have a soup of the day. Also, Bison Wiches in Norman has a handful of soups which they serve in bread bowls and they're always fantastic.

tried nd foods today...

wow. ordered half a sandwich and a bowl of potato soup. both were excellent. the sandwiches are huge. i ordered a half for about $4.85 and it easily had a pound of meat on it... they use boar's head meat, so we're talking both quality and quantity here... you get quite a bit for your money.

not sure what i paid for the soup... i could have easily gotten away with a cup as the bowl portion was quite generous. the potato soup was quite creamy and delicious... very fresh tasting. as stated, they had a good ten soups on the menu.

in addition they have all kinds of cookies, pies, cakes and pastries... all looked good and the portions quite generous for the price.

i was very pleased with nd foods and highly recommend it! -M

I'm excited to try them at the new location.
I felt they were pretty pricey, yet high quality before.
I have a hard time spending $10 plus for lunch very often!

due to the minimal seating, should I plan to definitely get carry-out only?
I don't have a very long drive to and from work, but would rather eat OUT if I'm getting out.

I'm being indecisive!
