Souper Market's Carnegie location is a welcome addition to the sparse lunch options in midtown. Ample parking is available in the attached lot. We stopped here on a recent weekday around 1pm and they were medium-busy so we waited about 10 minutes to order. Seating is good for this quick lunch style place - one long counter lining the walls and front windows.
I chose the Green Apple Salad with the small size of potato spinach soup (6oz I believe) and Sean got the Jambalaya. The salad was outstanding. Extremely fresh and generous portions of all toppings with perfect dressing. If you like the Apple/pecan/gorgo cheese type salad, get this here. It is my favorite type of salad and theirs is one of the best I've had.
The soups were pretty good. The potato soup had decent flavor which isn't always the case so I appreciated that. It was pureéd rather than chunky which I would have liked more, but that's just personal preference so can't fault the place for that. Jambalaya was tasty and pretty spicy as you'd expect.
Each soup comes with a huge chunk of freshly made bread. It's good but personally I like more of a baguette style bread as opposed to this which is more of a farmhouse style. Again personal preference there and the bread is very good quality and works well for soaking up the last bits of your soup.
In addition to the couple of picky things above and the somewhat slower service, this place is COLD in winter and not just because of the frequent door openings with the in and out traffic. The counter is right next to basically full length windows so it was much too cold for my liking.
Will definitely be back to get that awesome salad and to try other soups, but until it gets warmer outside, I'll be taking my order to go.
