Not much to say. Im not really a soup guy but I really liked the chicken chilli.
Souvenirs are little expensive though.
Their actual menu has more options than the one here

I wish I could try all the soups from here but I only got to try the chicken tortilla and it was surprisingly good to me. I think for the price with the sundries you get it’s good value! Central Park is about 10 min walk away, and the perfect place to enjoy the soup.

Have wanted to try this for years. Tried the lobster bisque and chicken and rice. Amazing! I have never had Lobster Bisque this good. Top if off with the bread, plum, and Andes mint. Looking forward to going back.

Good place to grab a quick meal. The jambalaya soup was amazing. The lobster roll was alright and it was a bit small.

This spot is on my regular weekday lunch rotation - just a great take-away operation. Always a good selection of soups which they rotate. All of them are hearty - even the lobster bisque, which ain’t a bad thing, with lots of good hunks of lobster. I also like that they throw in a piece of fruit. Makes it healthy! lol

We came here on a rainy day and it was AMAZING! The lobster bisque had a good amount of lobster, the potato & bacon soup was a popular choice (for good reason!) and the tomato bisque warmed your heart. Overall, good soup!

Been to The Soup Kitchen twice since arriving in NYC. Helps that it’s just down the street from the hotel I’m staying at…. Strongly recommend the chicken jambalaya and chicken and corn chowder. Less enthused about the shrimp and corn chowder (I found it bland).

I tried the lobster soup and It was delicious. The guys at the counter were really friendly. The gave me the soup with a slice of bread, a pear, and a mint chocolate. Great meal for a cold day.
