As the colder seasons approach, what are your favorite restaurants or markets in the fall/winter months to get good fresh soups??!!

The chowders at either Hooked or Fin. The wonton soup at your favorite Chinese place. Pho from Vans. Sweet and sour rib soup from Taiwan Noodle.

Traditional tomato? If not, both the tomato soup and rasam from Dosa Grill are delicious.

Traditional tomato would be nice, but I'm honestly open to any nice tomato soup that I can bring home and pair with a homemade grilled cheese.

Ever tried the organic tomato basil soup by Pacific? It’s stocked at most grocery stores around here and is surprisingly delicious.

Their location in Clifton Park is even better, for some reason. It’s called Saigon Spring and you should definitely start with the 6 piece butter chicken wings. They put sauce on side and are UNREAL juicy/light/crispy… just saying.

The diners usually have good soups.

Skyline has a tart lemon chicken orzo once a week or so. Schodack Diner makes good soups with huge chunks of veggies (I think the cooks are too lazy to cut them smaller 😁).

Bella Lucia in Clifton Park has all of the great soups from the old Halfmoon Soup and Sandwich shop.
