| - With my two young daughters in tow, we stopped in at Zoup! at 5:30 pm for a quick, light, early dinner before soccer practice. If you've never been to Zoup!, you should know that it's a chain higher end fast food place, next level - maybe like the Chipotle of soup/salad/sandwiches. There are always a great selection of hot, fresh soups and the salad and sandwich game is strong there but this time we got just soup. They have a side order size that is 8 oz, a great size for kids, and three breads to choose from. We had chicken pot pie soup, loaded baked potato and a mushroom bisque. All the soups were great, rich and creamy and lacking the doughy taste you get from some places' creamy soup that is thickened with flour but not cooked long enough kill the flour taste. Each soup was relatively simple and good; hearty, felt homemade and were exactly as advertised. The chicken pot pie soup was homey and hearty, the baked potato was filling and comforting with hints of bacon and vegetables and the mushroom bisque was rich and earthy. The bread was fresh and tasty. My kids are fans of soup, and for three with drinks we had a light, tasty dinner with drinks for less than $20.
