Got the salmon chowder and bread here. The flavoring was simple and not overpowering. The bread was fresh and great for dipping in the chowder.

I’ve been eating soup from the Stock Market for many years, and to be honest it’s been an experience marked by inconsistency in service, quality, and sustainability. I couldn’t write a review because one day I was disappointed, and the next I couldn’t have been a happier customer. I feel that now I can finally write a review, because over the last year I’ve had nothing but consistently friendly service, excellent soup, and lately they’ve introduced reusable bowls and spoons, eliminating the single-use containers and plastic spoons that so often meant I’d look for another lunch option.
The effort and expense involved in choosing a sustainable business model can’t be overstated – there’s a lot more labour involved in washing and storing reusable bowls and spoons, and most shops couldn't be bothered. But in choosing to be more sustainable, they’ve become a lunch spot I’ll be choosing much more often.
I’ve noticed a couple unfair comments from other reviewers about the soup being bland – that’s a little petty and unfair. Some may prefer soup that’s exploding with spice of flavour, but consider that not everyone does. Common sense dictates that they provide a modestly spiced soup that more people can enjoy. I certainly enjoy it, and if I want more flavour I’ll go make my own. In fact, both my girlfriend and I find that most soup spots way over-salt their soup, and the fact that Stock Market doesn’t is something we’re both thankful for.
The quality, serving size, fresh ingredients, and delicious focaccia bread for dipping make for a perfect midday meal to fuel your Granville Island wandering. We also bring home their bagged soup as well, and it's just as good as fresh while also being a great item to stock the freezer with for those times you really want an easy and healthy meal. We’ll continue making the Stock Market a regular stop on our weekly GI visits.

They ran over my foot with a heavy cart just as I was about to buy some soups. I cried out in pain, telling them how much it hurt, but the employee barely glanced at me, and the owner just gave a dismissive shrug, as if my injury didn’t matter at all.

Chowder was basically a bland white soup with some veg and seafood bits. Really felt like it needed some clam or other seafood stock to amp it up. I had a chowder at the Tap and Barrel that was much nicer.

For a place that specializes in "stock", soup. It was underwhelming... The soups lacked seasoning! Salt would have made it a little better.
I ordered the salmon chowder. It was not only under seasoned. I had a couple bites of clumped roux ??. The base just tasted like cream. I should have went across to "a la mode".
I tried wife's chicken noodle soup. Guess what?! No seasoning! I didn't know they served hospital, bland diet, < 2g sodium food.
The only thing good about their food is that the prices are ok. I'd rather pay more and have it taste better.
Service is great and friendly otherwise. I REALLY wanted to like their soups.

Good selection of take-away soups for about $10 per. Good variety too, not just the standards.
Long lines generally indicate good things when it comes to food, and the lobster bisque on the menu was enough of an enticement for my wife to brave the queue and order a cup. She enjoyed it, but felt some component or flavor was missing; it was also a little thinner than she would have preferred. Being a certified soup savorer myself, I had to agree, based on the couple of spoonfuls I sampled. Good, not great, but I'd be willing to give them another fair shake, the next time we're on Granville Island.
