There was a California restaurant chain called Souplantation that about eight soups available. All you can eat. Closed during the pandemic.
They also had the most incredible salad bar I’ve ever seen.
I was gonna mention Fresh Choice, which was a “healthy” option buffet, where the two main foods were salads and soups. And since it was a buffet, you could try all the soups and make as many salads as you could with the large salad bar of ingredients.
They were gone long before the pandemic, though.
This b–ch just hungry…
You can curse on the internet
Logistically, it’s a fuck load more work to cook a dozen soups than to pop a dozen bottles.
my mom’s actually part of a soup club! they all bring soups and exchange them
Well that just sounds souper!
Jon Bon Jovi, where are you. Please respond
There was a lovely soup place in Iceland that did this, including a free refill of your soup. I never thought I could feel so overly full with soup.
Commas carry quite a load.
It’s…called a buffet.
yeah but the communal soup buckets can get grasty
And this wouldn’t?
Well, my parents have a gourmet club, where people cook different themes every month. So this could easily be a gourmet soup club.
My town has a Chowderfest. It’s great, dozens of places serve $2 cups and you walk all over town tasting and then you vote for your fav.
That sounds really fun. Im jelly
lil café place near me does soup flights, you get like 5 lil cups of different soup and half a loaf of house baked bread.
I missed reading the L. Soup fights sound messy.

Couple places in Seattle do this too, it rocks
eh? Which places, I need to know. Winter is coming on fast.
Pike place chowder has a chowder sampler and the other place I was thinking was Byrek and Baguette. Looking at BB’s menu though I’m not seeing one so maybe they don’t have it anymore? You can get a baguette and soup combo though
ty for taking the time to post that. I will check them out.
This unironically sounds awesome, I would go to this event.
Around February each year we have a SOUPer bowl potluck at work. People pitch in to bring in soups and stews and various breads. It’s fantastic. Someone last year brought a muffin tin from home to try all the different soups
Sign me up, too. In my mind, it comes with unlimited baguette slices and/or garlic bread sticks as well as a bar with an assortment of dozens of shredded cheeses. Also there are various soup spoons available, including the deep asian ones.
Edit: Spelling, although chesses are welcome, too.
And whimsical crockery
Yes, ceramics galore, with gilded inlay and reliefs depicting the glory of historic soup bacchanalia of eons past.
Don’t let your dreams be dreams
Is this not just an ordinary potluck?
Bezos’ offering
Quality questionable?
“Made with real food ingredients”
Did a robot write this?
“Enjoy your soup, fellow human!”
Wait…is that the robot in the background, making the soup…? What the HELL is that?!?
Good catch, maybe lawyers
Don’t doubt Bender Rodriguez cooking skills!
In my city we have Souper Bowl. It’s an event where local restaurants make their soups and you vote on the best. It’s a pretty cool event.
Chili cookoffs but soup.
