I love soup. At its best it can be such a comforting, nourishing, and delicious way to eat. And generally economical too. But I have to say that most soups in restaurants, even in expensive restaurants, aren't usually that impressive to me.
My first exception is Jack Fry's, which has a famous daily soup of a creamy tomato-artichoke that is an absolute delight. It's so rich that a cup is all it takes. Fantastic. And their daily specials are quite good too.
But my favorite place for soup, as you already know from the title, is the Uptown. They have such varieties of flavors--different specials all the time. And their soups tend to be hearty, flavorful, varied, and just plain delightful. And what a value! The "cups" of soup at the Uptown are almost the size of the bowls at other places. And a bowl of soup at the Uptown truly makes the heart of an economical and yummy meal.
I've been enjoying the soups at the Uptown for 10 years, and right now I can't think of a time when they let me down. They are doing something right there, and I just wanted to say thanks....And to encourage people who might not have tried one of the many soups available at the Uptown over the course of the year to give one a try...
