Soupalicious

Ok, alright I know technically it's summer and social norm says "What?! soup in summer are ya kidding me?!" but I say defy all traditions and go have soup in summer, and anyway it's not like we ever have a proper summer it's always raining and if you want to pretend it's summer and kick your body temp up a notch or two go to the Soup Cafe on Upper Leeson Street. Not only do they specialise in all-kindsa-soup-in-the-world, their menu changes every day! From your usual friends like Chicken-noodle to have-you-ever-heard-of-soups like Tanodoori Chicken? Shepherd's Pie, Italian Lasagne? I kid you not.

Although a bit pricey with chicken and meat varieties leaving your pocket 6 to 7 euro lighter and veggie delights from €4.30 on, they are very mealy and do come in sizeable portions and you can get either a 12 oz cup/bowl or a 16 oz one. I've had the Lentil Potage (which rocks) and a plain vegetable one (which also rocks) They also send you off smiling with a piece of bread. What more could ya ask for? oh and they also serve kick-ass coffee. So says my workmate T.
