Slurp!

Bryan and I found the new venture by the Culina team - Soul Soup. Carla Alexander, soup master extraordinaire, has a little place (little, though not lacking any punch or finesse on the inside.. so so hip) on Rice Howard Way. All purple and mahogany wood, we walked in and were surrounded by this ethereal mist of garlic and potato and barley and rice and all these other fantastic aromas. It was so thick.. you almost don't need to ACTUALLY buy any soup - you could survive on sniffs alone. But buy the soup we did, and for 13$ we got a huge litre (or so) tub, two bread rolls, two suckers, and two portugese custard tarts. We decided (after a taste test) to go with the Potato/Veggie/Leek/Roasted Garlic veggie option. They had three listed - a fish, a meat, and veggie - to appease everyone. On the frozen soup menu they even had some celiac friendly soups - what a dream! The soup was creamy and filling and so full of flavour, and even though it was about minus ten we walked all the way from Rice Howard Way home, and the soup was still piping hot. I couldn't finish my portion, and Bryan gladly made sure to clean out both bowls - still leaving enough to give to our neighbor for her to lunch on. They have some really amazing soups listed on their Frozen Soup menu, I really want to try the Spinach Goats Cheese Cream with Orange and Almonds. Perfect for the semi-spring weather - or any weather for that matter. Check it out, you won't be dissapointed.
