  • 1. Cafe Sauvage

    25 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston

    Eater Boston claims this fairly new kid in town is getting rave reviews for it’s French onion soup. Cafe Sauvage serves “a hearty Gruyere-topped soup.” French onion soup  is my absolute favorite, and I’m very picky, so I will be venturing to this spot soon. I mean, look at that cheese!

    Yelp and Foursquare agree on Neptune Oyster’s soups selections. Famous for their Italian style clam chowder, you will also find other delicous options served hot in a bowl, like their Maine Lobster Bisque.

    Eater Boston advises that we not to miss out on Branch Line’s chicken rotisserie soup. They also mention the recipe changes occasionally, but any version is delicious. And chicken soup truly is good for the soul, and all that ails you. Oh, and you can buy their famous soup by the quart, to bring home.

    Foursquare readers like the Veggie pho with chicken broth and an “egg to taste — delicious!” (according to one reviewer). Their Tom Yum and Duck Noodle soup are other popular options, according to Yelp reviewers. I have had their spicy noodle soup and it’s really good.

    Boston’s oldest restaurant is still filling bellies and warming hearts with their famous clam chowder. One Foursquare reviewer delcared that when you get more clams than potatoes, you know you’re in Boston. And when you’ve been doing it as long as UOH, it’s got to be good.

    1008 Cambridge Street, Cambridge

    This Inman Square spots serves up Brazilian food. They are well-known for their a flavorful seafood stew, moqueca, which is cooked in a clay pot.
