I LOVE soup and don’t really have a favorite but in my Top 10 are;
Bird’s Nest - difficult to find a place that still offers this. Gotta order it if it’s available
Campbell’s Chicken Noodle - yes, from the can! Comfort food at it’s roots
French Onion - with an order of escargot and a Caesar’s salad, a great late night meal!
Miso soup with Asari clams - next time you eat sushi, order this as your last dish and you’ll see why. Miso soup with Nameko mushrooms is also very good.
New England Clam Chowder - ordered Manhattan CC once, quote The Raven: Nevermore
Ozoni (Japanese New Year’s soup) - wife makes her’s with a whole chicken. Supposed to be a once-a-year dish but we like it so much we often times make it in the late Spring or early Fall too
Pho - when done right and the soup is so rich from the hours and hours of boiling the bones, it is very hard to beat
Shark Fin - okay, okay, it’s not PC to serve this anymore but man, I miss those days when you could go into a Chinese restaurant and order it anytime. Throw in a shot of Scotch and the taste jumps up!
Steamed Duck Noodle - the noodles and the duck leg are the main course but the soup is the real reward
Tomato Bisque - I like “regular” tomato soup but the bisque upgrade is soooo much better. But, I rarely see it on menus so when it is, will order it
