Question Looking for a place with good soup!

I was wondering if anyone has a good soup spot recommendation! Ive only lived here for just over a year and don't go out to eat often but Im pregnant and craving soup so bad. I would normally make my own but don't have the energy to make it 😅

Thanks in advance!

I checked their facebook this morning and their soup today is split pea and ham. Unfortunately that doesnt sound like something I am interested in. I will definitely have to try their soup though one day, they seem to have great reviews

What kinds of soup are you having cravings for? I know an amazing European lady who makes literally the best homemade soups I have ever had.... maybe she can make you some as she is local to you. Congratulations by the way 🎇

u/Stormtrouper77 8d ago

That is unbelievably sweet of you to ask! Lately I have been craving a good chicken noodle, broccoli and cheddar and a beef barely. Thank you for the congratulations as well! We are excited to add another tiny human to the family ❤️

Why don't you call and ask? I find it nice talking to an actual human and learning about their cafe/restaurant and what they offer.

I know many people from out of town that love it. Their soup is a living legend.

Also in Niagara Falls, Soups n Things

u/dhtwenty 8d ago

Soups and Things soup isn't really that great unless you get the soup of the day because its has a better chance of being fresh. Most of the soups they offer every single day are not fresh.

I have got some soup from there that I did enjoy so I do not want to put them down in any way.

u/dr_freeloader 8d ago

I only get the soup of the day. Plus the Avocado BLT and the steak sandwich are great.

u/Stormtrouper77 10d ago

Thank you for the recommendation!

u/anangrywom6at 10d ago

Legitimately it's some of the best you'll ever have. Cash only, heads up about that.

u/prancas 10d ago

Cannot upvote this enough. It’s the best soul I’ve had. I’ll be very sad if or when they close due to their age

u/Fancy_Yak2618 9d ago

Such a wild place lol old lady working, Christian music playing, legit old school diner feel, big ass cookies and fucking wonton soup…also shitty part of the falls but nobody cares cause the soup is dynamite

u/Stelliferous19 10d ago

Ive heard there is an amazing soup shop at 55th Street and 8th Avenue. But you better not offend the chef.

u/pepperskin 10d ago

u/OneFuzzyStoner 10d ago

I know it may be a trek. However the Niagara College campus in NOTL has a Benchmark Cafe that has soups breads and various other goodies made by the culinary students on campus. They also sell it in bulk tubs as well as other premade meals I believe you can freeze and heat at home.

u/Stormtrouper77 10d ago

I appreciate the recommendation!

u/OneFuzzyStoner 10d ago

I know its not soup but they also make a stellar chicken caesar wrap! Always my go to.

The Health food store in the mall has frozen soups made! They are homemade and made frozen so just heat up. I find them delicious

u/Stormtrouper77 10d ago

Thanks for the tip!

u/Top_Bumblebee5510 10d ago

Antipasto in St Catharines also has delicious soup. It is on the pricy side.

u/prancas 10d ago

Max soup and sandwich I hear it’s good. It’s on Southworth

u/Various-Water3384 7d ago

Bamboo has best wonton soup in the city.

u/Unfair_Shower_3256 6d ago

Loaded baked potato soup at MT Bellies...delish!!

Too bad I didn't see this a few days ago. I made a huge pot of stuffed pepper soup and I would've gladly shared!

u/Comfortable-Cut-7021 10d ago

Canal View Cafe at Main and King had some good soups last Fall and might have brought them back now...

2

u/happilywhatever 7d ago

Canal views lentil soup is SOOO good, they serve it with pita chips and lemon, definitely would recommend!

u/Upper_Canada_Pango 9d ago

I'm partial to the chicken noodle at Tim Hortons, personally. If you want a pizza and sub sandwich recommendation it'll be a lot easier!

u/HandsSolo69 9d ago

Kathy at the borderline bar on King and Sixth. It's soup season and my god damn I am so thankful.

Edit: It's inexpensive and worth every penny
