My sadness deepened the first and only time I went to Original Soup Man. The chicken chili was mediocre at best. it tasted bland but salty, like a can of Progresso soup.

Midtowners remember the glory that was the soup man. The chain shops are such a pale shadow of the original that it's pathetic. The fact that the call it 'Original 'Soup Man' is just an extra kick in the ass to those of us who miss the real 'original.' 2. Midtown is a very, very competitive soup market, unlike most mall locations. The chain soup man shops suck. The soup sucks, the sandwiches suck. And the one near Rock Center was always messing up the takeout orders. I didn't even know the soup man places were closing. No one notices, no one goes there, no one cares. And I eat soup almost every damn day. For me it's "What do I get with my soup today?" and I stopped getting this slop long ago. Enjoy your cash , Al. Your legacy sure sucks. Thanks for the bags of industrial 'soup' which are 'cooked' deep in New Jersey and shipped out to malls everywhere. PS I downloaded and made the 'Soup Man Chicken Chili' recipe floating around the web. It came out very good and very close to the original, which was my favorite Soup Man flavor. A few others are out there, too. Do that if you miss the soup man, and skip the chain. The Soup Man places in midtown will continue to die for two reasons:
