I have never been to a place that has had really good soup in a long time. I remember the Wooden Nickel had some good soups and so does Zoup. Anyone have any recommendations for a good bowl of soup in the area? | ||

Zoup is delicious! | ||

Russell Street Deli in the Eastern Market has great soups every day. Their selection is always changing, but they always have at least a handful of vegetarian options. The tough part is narrowing it down to one to order. | ||

Mother Waddles Perpetual Mission. Every so called "Detroiter" knew that was the best place for good, hot bowl of delicious soup for 35 cents a bowl. | ||

Louie's (the recently lambasted greasy spoon) on either Harper @ Yorkshire or on Mack @ Russell has the best chicken noodle I've ever had. | ||

For matzoh ball soup, I would highly recommend the Bread Basket Deli on Greenfield in Oak Park. The matzoh there is large enough to have its own gravitational pull as well as being tasty. For New England clam chowder, my choice is the Red Coat Tavern on Woodward in Royal Oak. It's one of those soups that will stick to most of your vital organs as well as tasting just right. It's also thick enough that if you stuck a spoon in it, the spoon won't lean over. | ||

Wiping the drool off my keyboard.... Smogboy you are the man!! The Bread Basket Deli Matzohball Soup is a meal unto itself!!! Although their Kreplach Soup isn't bad either! | ||
Jjaba Member Username: Jjaba Post Number: 4906 Registered: 11-2003 |
jjaba seconds that emotion. Smogboy understands the function of a Matzoh Ball in soup. It holds the plate to the table. As you consume it, it glue you tuckas to the chair. Pop a nice bar of chocolate Halvah in your mouth as you leave. Now that's a meal! jjaba, Westside Bar Mitzvah Bukkor. | ||

Breadbasket Deli matzoh balls always remind me of playing softball at Softball City back in the early 90's because that's about what size the matzoh ball is. It's practically clogging the bowl. The broth itself is an afterthought and there's enough roughage there to slow down a battalion. And I'd also prefer the pecan pie for the matzoh ball follow-up at the Breadbasket as well. | ||

Los Galanes in Mexicantown has an addictive pozle,(pork and hominy). It's one of the soups they offer with their buffet. Since it's not always offered, call ahead to see if it is on the day's menu. | ||

Cyprus Taverna in Greektown has the best Lemon Rice soup I have ever had..and some awesome Pea Soup on Tuesdays then one other really good option every day. I used to like the Beer Cheese Soup at the Beer Co. but I either got tired of it or it got not as good  The Anchor Bar (whose kitchen is open from 7 a.m. - 2:00 a.m Monday - Saturday btw) is always changing their soup options and I've never been disappointed. Though a chain...Au Bon Pain puts out some pretty decent soup too. | ||

I don't usually go for restaurant soup, too salty! I love Chili though. Sandy's by The Beech in Redford has the best Chili Hands down. Slow cooked, ground sirloin, kidney beans and chunks of real tomato, YUM! | ||

One of my favorite soups is not restaurant specific... Italian Wedding Soup... with the small round pasta and mini meatballs. Yummy! I also like a good Chinese Hot-n-Sour Soup. Although I do like Wonton Soup, it has an unfortunate resemblence to what's left in the sink drain after washing dishes!  | ||

Buddy's minestrone soup is also popular with most of my friends and family. I'm not a big fan, too rich/creamy, but people who have moved out of town insist on picking some up to take with them when they're back in Detroit. | ||

I second the Buddy's minestrone! That soup is delicious and a full meal practically.. (no wonder they sell a quart of it for nearly $10) Also: The BEST Lemon rice - Giorgio's (Oak Park and West Bloomfield -- they also have the best ceasar salad.) Pretty good Turkey stew - The Turkey Grill (on Woodward north of Grand Blvd. in the city.) | ||

Avgalamano Soup is that chicken lemon rice soup made by Greeks. Some call it "Greek" soup. Every Greek Restaurant serves it. If you use that word, they'll smile atcha. In summer, try a nice plate of cold beet borscht with a dolop of sour cream. In winter, hot cabbage borsch hits the spot. Who could even hope to live without borscht!!!! Gives jjaba schpulkas just thinking about it. Gistok, Chinese Won Ton soup is Kreplach Soup on the other side of the world. Same stuff. Infact, ask any Chinese guy, he'll tell you "Won Ton" is 'Chinese' for "Kreplach." Same with "Kosher" and "Halal." Same thing. jjaba, Westsider. | ||

I've developed a slight addiction to Vivio's French Onion concoction...that and a few pints of Guinness have become one of my regular bi-weekly dinners or lunches. Today I discovered that Progresso's version with a good amount of Kraft Montereyjack with Jalapeno and the heel of my favorite Aunt Millie's Organic Indian Grain bread (one of about three in the entire bread aisle at Meijer without any high fructose corn syrup) makes for a good substitute for those days when I cannot leave the house...even for a four-block walk. | ||

Best soup ever was the Cream of Broccoli at the Mediterranean Lounge on E. Warren at Audubon!! Did any current restaurant inherit the recipe?

Fishbone's, Ruby Tuesday, and the Beach Grill has some of the best chowders and some kick-@$$ Broccoli and Cheese soups.
