I vote for Panera's. They have the best soup, and even offer low fat varieties..

I vote for the mushroom brie soup at L'il Bits Cafe. Every bit as good and a much more casual atmosphere than at Lopez.

Village07, You were the one whose recommendation I followed on mushroom Brie soup at Nancy Lopez. It is yum-o! Served in a bread bowl too.

Are they still having "Endless soup" at lunch at Lopez??

Gracie... I don't think they offer that right now. I believe it was a summer promotion... maybe it will return this summer. Glad you enjoyed the mushroom brie!!!

I love Thai soups! Siam Orchid has an excellent variety and they let you choose a variety of soups with a lunch entree. Am VERY impressed. www.siamorchidthevillages.com Another thing...is you get service immediately. No long lines like at Toojay's if you want it NOW!

Ok Yes
Soup is good stuf Mallory has some very good soup also my wife and I had some turkey soup the other day it was very good
But seeing that it is raining out today I am going to make some Pea Soup or maybe Bean lets see
Chicken stock some olive oil, garlic, some smoked pork to a boil then put in the Peas or beans and get some good crusty bread and good butter
What do you think?

Siam is closed. Hear it may turn into Seafood Galley. Time will tell.

Fire up the Slow Cooker (Crock Pot) and make your own soup.
Comes out the BEST and you know what is in it. No MSG or tons of salt needed.:beer3:

That’s unfortunate, but I really think they picked the wrong location. They were in a large stand-alone building with direct highway (441) access. The rent alone must have been crippling. This type of location can only survive if it’s a big chain operation or “Fern Bar”.

I know Seafood Galley is well rated for its seafood quality, but if they go in there, they’ll be competing with Sam St. John’s right around the corner, and that doesn’t make sense either.

Beef Cabbage soup on Wednesdays at Toojay's, mushroom brie at Lopez, and the best Hot Sour soup ever at Cheungs chinese restaurant.

You are absolutely right Ed, I find it actually STUPID for the two fish places to be so close together. I just miss Thai food at that end of town. But who knows, maybe Thai Orchid will relocate somewhere else. We'll have to keep an eye out for it.
