Lives up to the hype

Soup Kitchen International, home of the “Soup Nazi” made famous by Seinfeld, has now spawned The Original Soup Man franchises all over the country. In NYC there is this location, Harlem, Upper East Side, and several around Midtown.

The soup is pricier than other takeout places, but absolutely worth it. Menu of soups rotates, but don’t worry a seafood bisque is always available. The serve other stuff like salads, but why? It’s all about the soup!

Dishes I tried:

Lobster bisque

The star of all the soups. Chunks and chunks of lobster, unlike the smooth and creamy bisques some places serve. It’s a good thing they give you bread, so you can soak up every drop!

Crab bisque

Very yummy. Chunks and chunks of crab.

Seafood gumbo

Excellent. The only reason it’s a 4-star is b/c the bisques blow every other soup away.

Must get Lobster Bisque!!!

Granted the soup is rather pricey (the seafood specialty soups especially), let me just say this is not your regular can of Campbell’s soup. The lobster bisque is a must try! It is rich in flavor and full of chunks of lobster. You won’t be disappointed! Nice thing to know is that if you were to get a bowl of this stuff in a nice restaurant, you’d probably pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $15 for a bowl.

If you feel like straying off the beaten path, the seafood gumbo is also a good option. The price includes not only a cup/bowl of the soup of your choice but also a some bread, a piece of fruit and chocolate. If you get the hearty bisque soups, you’ll feel like this is more than enough food. Half sandwhich & soup combos are also available if you feel so inclined.

In all, if you feel like a meal that will give you that “warm happy feeling” inside, this is the place to go!
