| - Who goes out for soup anyway? Everyone in Toronto, I have learned. I am still astounded to see the reach of the Ravi Soups chain across this great big town.
This Queen West location is the only one I've tried, and it's top-notch. I am now a person who goes out for soup. I've tried a couple of kinds at Ravi, as well as their wrap-soup combo, but my go-to is the Chicken Hot Pot Broth. It's got a ton of chicken in a yumsville coconut broth, with just a few noodles (not killer on the carbs), bok choy, slices of mango, mint, ginger, and a few edamame. Soups come with a delicious cheese biscuit and a small dish of red dipping sauce with a sweet and slightly spicy taste.
The soup is delivered on your own personal wooden lazy Susan, which is a fun novelty. You can spin back and forth between your soup and your scone.
Best of all, at Ravi they don't just ladle your soup out of some big vat - things are made to order here, so soup veggies are fresh and meats (the miso steak soup) have a bit of the grill to them. The soup comes out fairly quick and is steaming hot.
Despite the quasi fast food look of the place, this is a great spot for a healthy, filling, consistent, and inexpensive lunch.
