I have been dying to find a good soup place close to work. I love having soup for lunch, but I find that so many places try to pass salt ridden congealed slop off as soup. I was becoming extremely discouraged until a friend recommended I try Esther's. What a difference! It has an unmistakable homemade taste AND it's apparent that their recipes aren't a 1/2 salt to soup ratio!
I had the Mulligatawny and it was wonderful! It has just the right amount of heat so you're still able to taste the other flavours with just a welcomed warming spicy undertone (especially enjoyable on a cold day in Toronto!). It's chalk full of chicken and hearty veggies so you feel energized to get on with your day afterwards.
As for pricing, for a small soup and bread it only cost my $4.50. After reading some of the other reviews, I guess it just depends on what you order as I found the cost of my lunch to be quite reasonable. I've paid far more for substandard soup elsewhere and would gladly fork over more than I did for soup of this calibre.
