A good French Onion... not too salty and the cheese is browned on top. Also no big hunk of bread in the soup. Put the bread on the side please.

Pee soup is good too if make correctly.

I make an awesome Enchilada soup with chicken!

I second this

There are some good places to eat, I like Lopez, Palmer, Cane Garden, Sukura, and a few others. But IMHO none of them come close to being upscale.

I would describe an upscale place as one with an excellent menu, excellent service, many different nightly specials, a well known highly rated chef, an outstanding wine list, white cloth table cloths and napkins, and a place everyone who went raved about how good it was.

Me, too. Bonefish is a good restaurant, but not upscale IMHO. I'd like my fish to be fresh, if it's a daily special. Not fresh = no fish. I'd like a beautiful rib-eye on the bone, a baked potato that hasn't been microwaved, creamed spinach that is freshly made. Sounds like I'd want a Peter Luger's here. As for a good soup, a real, honest-to-goodness Lobster Bisque, like Claudio's in Greenport, NY.

THERE IS NOT A REAL UPSCALE RESTAURANT IN THE VILLAGES--they know the demographics here--it will not happen-

Real waiters--not servers- table side preparation of salads & deserts

It the same crowd that think todays cruising is the equivalent of trans atlantic passage in the 60's & 70's on the Leonardo DaVinci, The Ile De France, & the Queen's

Boy, I hope you meant Pea soup, rather than pee.

So what kind of soup would you like if the demographics was here to have such a place and what would you pay for a cup or a bowl?

The only thing upscale about Palmer is the prices!

Yes but if there was an upscale restaurant that you enjoyed in the TV area what kind of soup would you be looking for and how much would you pay for a cup or a bowl?

[BS Beef]

Not too fancy but I'd vote for:

Tomato $6 - bowl/$4.50 - cup

and

It's getting to be Beer Cheese soup season $6 - bowl/$4.50 - cup (and please don't try to put broccoli or anything else in my beer cheese)

[BS Beef]

Oops forgot Corn Chowder

[SALYBOW]

French Onion a gratin 5.00 and aveglemona ( Chicken with Lemon) 4.00

I agree!!

But if we had one and since Tom insists...Lobster Bisque-$9.00/cup.

During the hotter months, a good Vichyssoise served on a bed of ice

REAL she crab soup, with the eggs in it. Probably pricey.
