SOUP!

By 2 Cents

In the heart of winter, one of the most comforting classics is a bowl of hot & hearty soup. If you work downtown or near it, you can always find a quick hot lunch with more flavor that can pack a punch than the nearest JJ’s. A personal favorite spot is The Soup House. You’ve probably passed it & didn’t know. On the corner of Michigan & Milwaukee streets, the windows are adorned with plants where you’ll find mismatched chairs, tables & art. But everyday there is a line that wraps around the door. Why? Because it’s heaven on Earth. That’s why. No, seriously, best soup I’ve ever had. Each day there’s a list of homemade soups that sell out by 1pm. My suggestion, go on Friday for Ivan’s Tiki Masala or the Crabby Shrimp Bisque. But you have to get there before 11:30am to guarantee you’ll get a bowl, and bring cash. Soup is a great choice for lunch, it’s filling, convenient, good for you & cheap. Read more about my raving review on my staple lunch spot online. We asked where you grab a bowl of your soul comfort food. This is what you recommended:
