At this time of the year, you have to love a place that specializes in soup. One of their three locations is just around the corner from my office and I was in a bit of hurry today so I ordered some to go. Although I was only in the store briefly, I had a good first impression.
They have a list of signature soups and also daily specials. It looked like they have also started offering sandwiches as well. I ordered their cream of tomato with gorgonzola. The service was friendly and speedy. Before I could decide whether or not I should try one of their rice krispie treats for dessert they had spooned me up a fresh container of the soup, added some good toasted croutons, packaged it up with slice of fresh bread and for a nice additional touch included a pre-bagged set of accompaniments -- spoon, knife, salt, pepper, two kinds of mints and a napkin.
The cream of tomato was excellent. Mostly creamy with some chunks of tomato. It was perfectly seasoned and I didn't even think about extra salt or pepper. I have a strong appreciation for food that is seasoned correctly. I want to go back and try several others of their signature soups and some of the daily specials the day I was there looked good as well. It is going to be a good winter.
