ah, my favorite season is upon us, along with the cool, dark nights of hot chocolate and soup in front of the glow of my 52" TV (yeah, no fireplace at my apartment, the TV somehow doesn't quite sound as romantic, well, maybe to all the guys who want to come over for MNF, but that's a completely other story!).
Now, I like making my own soup and stews, but they usually require a whole day of my time over the stove and so a place that does cheap, hearty and tasty soups that I can get in different sizes is a godsend for me. And I've just found my new place of worship....
I held off my review for a few days because I wanted to try all of the 4 soups that I picked up from there the other day. I must make special mention of the chicken paprikash that I had for lunch today....heavenly, I could almost feel the angels descending from the heavens to sing me songs to lull me into the "itits". I sure hope that is one of their regular soups b/c I'll be getting that one every time I stop in here!
Also tried out their lobster bisque, the mulligatawny and the tomato-ginger....like Cara said, I'm going to have to step up my own soup making otherwise I'm just going to keep coming here for all my soup-related needs!
They also do salads if you want inject a bit of greens into your meal, I got the greek salad and it was solid eating, loved the artichokes on there.
Their bread is also amazing, I was lucky when I stopped in, they were just pulling out fresh loaves from the oven and I had to wait for a couple of minutes for my bread....warm bread straight out of the oven? No problem, I'll wait a couple of minutes!
One of my favorite things about this place is the fact that you can get 4 different sizes of soup, everything from a nice single-serving portion all the way up to family-size. Or, in my case, my "lunch for a week" size...
