When it comes to soup, many people might assume that Austin is not the world’s premier destination. The traditionally hot dish doesn’t seem to pair well with the heat and constant summer feel of the Texan city, but in truth, soups can be enjoyed all year round! Austin’s restaurants feature a wide variety of culinary staples and innovations, including a number of fabulous soups that will leave you wanting more bowls right away! Check out these recommendations for the best soup locations in Austin.
The Soup Peddler
The star of the Soup Peddler is their Green Goddess soup. We know what you’re thinking: soups shouldn’t be green. Soup Peddler will prove you wrong. This deliciously creamy and thick broccoli, spinach, and rice-based soup is a powerhouse of healthy foods and satisfying flavors, with the added benefit of being gluten-free and vegan. The Soup Peddler offers a variety of other fabulous flavors, but the Green Goddess is the standout by far.
