The Souper Market

The Souper Market is a small local chain (with five locations) that specializes in hand-crafted soups, stocks, salads and salad dressings, made from scratch using the finest ingredients. I drove past the location on Carnegie (Midtown location) for years and had even thought it had closed because the store front on Carnegie was closed. It turns out that the entrance moved to the side of the building off their generous parking lot. The location in Ohio City is also quite popular, and the Downtown location on St. Clair Avenue is near the Justice Center. they also have a location in Kamm’s Corner and Lakewood. Most locations are only open Monday through Friday, although the Ohio City, Lakewood and Downtown locations are also open on Saturday afternoons. None of the locations are open on Sundays.

There are a few soups that are available every day (Tomato Ginger, Potato Spinach & Swiss, Jambalaya and their beloved Chicken Paprikash, Pulled Chicken Noodle, Tuscan Vegetable and Creamy Wild Mushroom and a chili that varies weekly), but the menu also changes weekly as well as seasonally, offering heartier soups in winter and lighter options in summer, alongside a variety of salads and chilled soups. The soups can be purchased as 8 oz., 12 oz., 16 oz. and 32 oz. servings.

They offer a way to enjoy a soup flight by offering a three pack of soups. You can order three DIFFERENT 8 oz. soups of your choice with 2 pieces of bread for just $14. It’s a great choice if you can’t decide on just one soup.

My go-to order is a grilled cheese paired with one of their delicious soups. It’s only $10 for a large panini pressed grilled cheese and an 8 oz. cup of soup and $11 for a 12 oz. soup. Most recently I enjoyed the Beefy Mushroom & Swiss soup and grilled cheese. I love mushroom and Swiss together, so I loved it.

They also have two deals that feature salads and soup. Deal #1 is an 8 oz. cup of soup and any salad for $13, Deal #2 is a 12 oz. cup of soup and any salad for $14. I have heard great things about the asparagus salad as well as the sweet lemon vinaigrette.

You can also buy stock in quarts or gallons. The stocks, which are the foundation of the soups, are simmered with meats, vegetables, and herbs, creating rich, additive-free, gluten-free, and low-sodium broths.
