.....SOUPSWell now that the temperatures have dipped and there’s a welcome chill in the air, what better comfort food than a bowl of warm soup.
This past Saturday I had Gumbo, and for the first time, I really enjoyed it. This was from the one and only Atlanta Bread Company. So that’s what prompted this list; a list of my top five favorite soups and where I find them.
5) Cream of Mushroom – Campbell’s
“Campbell’s chicken soup, possibility.” Well more than a possibility Campbell’s soup out of a can has been a necessity for me; these past few years. My favorite is the cream of mushroom soup. One can and you’re done.
4) Tomato Basil Soup – Boneheads
While Boneheads maybe know for its PiriPiri chicken, I like it for its rich tomato basil soup; clear and with more than just a hint of basil. Actually more than me, this is an all-time favorite of SK’s and he was the one to introduce me to it. I haven’t looked back ever since.
3) Chicken Enchilada Soup – Atlanta Bread Company
The ubiquitous ABC; they dish out some pretty good and very filling chicken enchilada soup. I think the best part of the soup is the warm roll of bread that accompanies it!
2) Hot and Sour Soup – Chin Chin
Now I’m talking about the Chin Chin Chinese restaurant 2 miles from my home but hot and sour soup in general has always, always been one of my favorites.
1) Shrimp Bisque – Sweet Tomatoes
The shrimp bisque at Sweet Tomatoes is to die for, and I mean that literally. I love shrimp and no one makes this soup as good as Sweet Tomatoes. I add the little bacon bits on top and always go back for a second helping.
This winter I spend most of my time in India and may not have a soup-binge. Maybe I’ll come up with a Top 5 list of Indian soups… you never know.
