| - Yep, we've had the Soup Nazi but this is Canada so since it's a bit more offbeat up here, Soup Nutzy may be more appropriate. I came into TD Centre looking for a Harvey's and that's gone and instead I found this soup paradise with around 10 soups offered each day. They come in three sizes but at around 8-10 bucks a serving, it's a bit pricey considering it's just soup. Much like Baskin-Robbins, you can try any soup you want before you order, which was good because I wanted to try the gumbo. When the server first opened the pot, the gumbo looked more white than red. So right off the bat, I knew it wasn't a true 'gumbo'. Not a bad one. Just not a true one.
Instead, I stuck with the Chicken Noodle and this was loaded with a ton of chicken, noodles and veggies. You can also have two 'sides' which are actually bread or fruit. So I got a thick, lengthy slice of Italian bread and a banana for later. Bread was very hearty although I would have preferred crackers which would have been ideal for the soup.
The soup may be good, but what's the deal with the website? Looked like it done in '96 for Mosaic browsers with the butt-blah interface and the 'online ordering' which in reality, is just a lengthy and confusing form for people to fill out who work in the office towers the soup bars are located. Couldn't these guys get with the times and come up with a site that is just as nice as the restaurant itself?
While it is pricey, the soup itself was very hearty and tasty. I would definitely consider a return upon my future visits to Toronto.
