Soups On

[jaxzjax]

Has it opened? Has anyone tried it? Thoughts?

I'm about to head over there for lunch in a few minutes.

I expect a full report afterwards with graphs and charts.

Still waiting on this lunch report!?!?

Went there and they're behind schedule on opening.  Now they expect to have their grand opening this weekend.  Ended up having lunch at Jackson's Grill instead.

The EXACT same thing happened to me yesterday. I want to try Soups On but I'm getting so tired of waiting! Their menu looks good!

Went there this afternoon to take out some pints of soup. Good crowd, and a more diverse menu than I'd expected. Not just soups (six or seven varieties) but also a handful of artisan sandwiches and salads. No sodas except what they make in house (COOL--mostly carbonated water with fruit mixes). We took home and loved a ginger carrot soup; other soups purchased were Roasted Cauliflower, and Apricot Lentil. Many vegan offerings, big service with a smile, and low prices made us happy customers.

Sounds nice!  Can't wait to try them out!

Stopped in late Thursday afternoon--nice experience. Great Portobello Mushroom and Arugula openface sandwich, nice size bowl of vegan lentil-swiss chard soup, and Morrocan Mint tea to die for. $10 even, tax included. The menu changes daily, got to look at the chalk board. From what I can see there is always a vegetarian, vegan, seafood, meat, and cold/dessert soup selection, plus daily sandwich/salad selections. Good selection of frozen soups to go (like apricot-lentil)

They will be ramping up their cold salads soon too. Talk is that Bakery Moderne may help with the breads in the future. Awesome place, good addition to the neighborhood! Owner has done this in other locations, and has the recipes down.

Stopped in on Monday. Had the cream of asparagus and a tomato, mozzarella, and basil open-faced watchamacallit. Was delish, and pretty good price. I especially like the tax-included pricing. Will add it as a weekly lunch stop (which I might have to switch to a bi-weekly schedule as there are too many good places in Riverside).

Sounds good. Hoping to try it this weekend.

I stopped in on Tuesday and had a pint of the Cream of Crab soup.  It cost around $6 or $7 and was pretty great.  They have a large variety of soups so when I'm in the mood for a small lunch, I'll definitely be back.

I've been once and loved it.  Planning on going a few times a week!
