Get Soupid: Got any Recommendations for a Soup Column?
If you liked doing $1 slice science, we’re gonna do the same for soup starting soon! Got a place that serves good soup and isn’t Hale & Hearty? So long as it’s not an Asian noodle soup (we all know that it’s not fair to compare Tabata ramen to Soup Spot’s Hungarian mushroom – apples & oranges, anyone?) we want some of your favorite soups! Comment away and they may just get a visit from the Leatherman!

How are the salads/sandwiches? Standard generic deli fare, any standouts?

Pretty standard, though the salads are surprisingly filling/dense considering how small the containers are. Standard means pretty good in this case though, so it’s a good standby place.

Just went today to check out this turkey chili (and get a salad). I was momentarily tempted to go with one of my favorites, hot and sour soup, when I saw that as an option. But I’m glad I stuck with my original intent as I’ll second the recommendation. The broth had a great flavor and a nice little kick, although I would have preferred for them to back off on the salt just a bit. Plenty of junk thrown in there to make it filling, but even saying that, I think I’d go for a cup of just the broth.
As for the salad, standard but I like that their “pick 6 toppings” doesn’t limit you to one protein, one cheese, etc.
It’s a bit out of the way for me to be my standard lunch but adding that free soup makes it well worth a visit a week or so.

Tomato Basil at City 75 on 51st btw 5th and 6th.
When they have it, the lobster bisque at Cafe Metro on 52nd btw 5th and 6th is surprisingly good.

Toasties does a great chicken chili at their 924 Third Ave (b/n 55th & 56th) location and the prices are great.
Digby’s at 666 5th Avenue (entrance on 53rd) always has a great selection – I love their turkey chili with unlimited toppings as well as the tortilla soup which they almost never have anymore. They also do a $1.99 soup with any sandwich or salad promo.
The Turkey Chili at Cafe O on 42nd between 5th and 6th. I keep wanting to branch out, but keep getting it because it’s virtually perfect. Plus you get a small soup for free with a salad or sandwich. I love this damn place.
