Of course, DocChuck has not figured it out yet that many asian soups feature no fish whatsoever

I’m starting to think that DocChuck is a troll job created by Fred.

Anyway, I think it’s going to be hard to find a non-asian soup that is as hearty of a meal, or a meal in itself. Something like ribollita and some stews might be cost effective enough, but I just don’t see too many others that serve a good filling soup.

Bait is cast.

Fish that cannot keep mouth shut, bites.

Fish that cannot keep mouth shut, is caught, chopped into pieces, made into yummy Asian soup.

Fish that cannot keep mouth shut, is now being served up in a nice Midtown Asian restaurant (or not-so-nice cart).

Fish that cannot keep mouth shut, would still be swimming in Brooklyn if fish could keep mouth shut.

That is why there are so many Asian soups out there — because of stupid fish who bite bait.

Why would a grocery store soup be reviewed on a site devoted to eating out, DocChuck?

I hate to say it, but the next soup you should try is Asian. The “Braised Beef Noodle Soup” at Pearls on 7th (between 47 and 48???) next to Teriyaki Boy is amazing. Get it on the spicy side. Most times the meat is tender, the soup is tasty, and it’s a great experience. Sometimes the meat is less tender, but that’s not the norm.

Someone mentioned Devon and Blakely as having good chicken pot pie soup – maybe so but not at the one on 52d at 5th. I walked by today at lunch and it appears it’s closed. There’s a big white covering over the escalator down where it is (was?) and no sign.

Macaron on 36th east of 7th has a takeout French Onion soup that’s quite good, though it is pretty light – mostly broth and the cheesy croutons on top, while delicious, are more crouton than cheese.

On the chain side, tend to like Pret a Manger’s soups and they are priced better than H&H.
