33 Best Soup in Chicago

“This was my second time eating here but 6th time having their food - I think I have confidence in this place to be consistently good. So when I brought my family here visiting for the first time time, for dinner, I was rest assured. We had come in at 8, and put in our order by 820 - all vegetarian with veggies and tofu. 30 minutes go by (nearly closing) and they come back to say they’ve run out tofu. Understandably, we were disappointed. We reluctantly made the modifications to our dishes as it was too late to go anywhere else. 30 more minutes elapse and we’re wondering where our food was; lone and behold, the restaurant had gone out to procure tofu for our dishes. Despite the bad taste the first half left in our mouth, the second half of them going above to fix the issue and make incredible food made up for it. Will come again, but just will confirm the tofu availability beforehand ;)“

“This place was amazing! Tucked away just around the corner off Morse, this little kitchen serves large bowls of the best bulgogi and bibimbop I've had since I was in Seoul.

The chef took the time to check in on all diners, and his staff have been courteous every time I visit. Very thankful to have them so close to home! 사람이다!“

“Family friendly restaurant with food choices for everyone but the made fresh pasta was the best part!“

“Everything was wonderful! Let’s start off with the service. I wasn’t very familiar with the different types of sauces and they offered me a sample of each to try in order to help me to decide which sauce to select for my meal. Everything came out fast, and the staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and efficient. NOEL AND JOVANA were SUPERB! They showed us pictures of everything and explained all of the options and we really enjoyed the food. It was very good. Everything was cooked perfectly, well seasoned, but not over seasoned, but still light. We live in the neighborhood and will definitely come back again. Everything was fantastic!“

“This place was awesome for airport food! The service was outstanding!

I had a one hour layover in midway, and my gate was in another concourse. I felt like it was a small gamble to eat there and make it across the airport in time. But the service was simply top-notch!

The food was good too! The chicken tenders felt like Costco chicken tenders, but they were prepared well. The best part? The chicken wings! Order that appetizer because you won't regret it! The wings were huge for chicken wings! Everyone one had a good deal of meat on them. Really impresses that those giant wings were hiding in an airport.“

“I highly recommend Manchamanteles Restaurant! My dining experience was exceptional from start to finish. The food was outstanding, with each dish expertly prepared and presented. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for any occasion. I will definitely be returning when in town!“

“Love Love this place!!!! Food is amazing and the staff are so friendly and attentive!!“

“The most amazing seafood rolls on the planet. Convenient and delicious. Anytime you're looking to treat yourself WHILE AT WORK, Luke's is a great place to duck in and pick up food or sit down and eat with such fast service from the lobster team“

“Loved the Sour Rye Soup. Would recommend to anyone“

“First and foremost, the staff is hands down the best! Literally the friendliest staff I’ve ever encountered! And I’ve tried a few things on the menu and nothing has been a let down. Usually I regret straying from “the usual” but I never do here. The crab rangoon is the best I’ve ever had, the wings surprised me with how tasty and well cooked they were, the basil chicken egg rolls were bomb (so is the basil chicken over rice), and the Khao Soi is a best seller for a reason!“

“Jesteście Mega! Dziękuje bardzo za super obsługę (w szczególności Patrycja!) i świetną opcję odebrania zakupow na parkingu podczas tego ciężkiego dla nas wszystkich okresu! Jestem bardzo wdzięczna i serducho się cieszy że na stole wielkanocnym będą pyszności z waszego sklepu 🐣🥰“

“I was wondering around by myself trying to find a hidden Chicago gem and I stumbled across Penny's Noodle Shop! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming. The workers are so friendly, warm, and inviting, making you feel right at home. The food is consistently delicious, fresh, and cooked to order, which really makes a difference. They have a great selection of Asian cuisine, with something for everyone to enjoy. Plus, the location is fantastic, making it a perfect spot for a quick and satisfying meal near the ballpark. Highly recommend!

Had the Hot Pepper Noodles with Beef and the Gyozas. Both were fantastic“

“The food here is really good. They use high quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and great spice. The dried chilli hot sauce is made in house and is so good, I always ask to take some home. This is not your typical Americanized Chinese food. I will ksep coming back. They also have a full bar, which is great.“

“They have the best Chinese food down. I always get the string beans and the sesame chicken. It’s so delicious.“

“Evelyn and her team went above and beyond to host our group for a private event! Not only was the food amazing (make sure to come hungry!), but they truly made us all feel at home. I can't recommend Evelyn's Food Love enough for your next event or catering needs!“

“My family and I cannot get enough of Alisha's cakes. Her tres leches is the best ever. We typically get the Oreo tres leches for our birthdays now. Everyone asks for Alisha's cakes for their birthdays. The cake is dense and rich so we usually serve smaller slices (but people will go back for seconds).“

“I love the food! My favorite are the wraps! And me and my guy swear by the detox tea! It's healthy and delicious! I highly recommend it! ❤️“

“From the moment we walked into Suda’s, we were welcomed like family. The hospitality here is truly outstanding - warm, attentive, and genuine. You can feel the love not just in the service, but in every bite of food.

Everything we tried was packed with flavor and tasted just like home cooking. The dishes are clearly made with care, tradition, and the freshest ingredients. From the perfectly spiced kibbeh to the melt-in-your-mouth shawarmas, every plate reminded us of meals we’ve shared with loved ones around a family table.

If you’re looking for authentic Lebanese food that feeds your soul as much as your appetite, this is the place. I can’t recommend it highly enough - it’s more than a restaurant, it’s an experience.“

“Great food and cocktails!“

“From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in for a treat—but I had no idea just how satisfying it would be. Let’s start with the French toast: golden, fluffy, and kissed with just the right amount of cinnamon and sweetness. It was perfection on a plate—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and topped with fresh fruit and syrup that made each bite better than the last. Next up? A wholesome egg white omelette that didn’t skip a beat on flavor. Packed with vibrant veggies and just the right amount of seasoning, it was light, fresh, and oh-so-satisfying. And that’s just scratching the surface. The service was warm, the vibe was cozy yet elevated, and every dish was crafted with care. From start to finish, this brunch felt like a hug on a plate. Whether you’re a fellow foodie, a brunch aficionado, or just looking for your next go-to spot, add this one to your list. Trust me—your taste buds will thank you.“

“the food and the atmosphere and experience“

“Soups & Scoops is a charming little spot with a great mix of comfort and fun. The soups are hearty and flavorful — perfect for a chilly day — and the ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of creative flavors. The staff are friendly and always willing to offer samples or suggestions. The place has a cozy, hometown vibe that makes you want to come back. My only small gripe is that seating can be limited during peak times. Otherwise, it’s a delightful spot for a satisfying meal and a sweet treat!“

“This charming little restaurant is small and cozy, offering an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The menu features a delightful range of dishes, each more delicious than the last. From the moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly prepared ingredients fills the air, tempting your taste buds. It’s truly a hidden gem that deserves a visit. Whether you're in the mood for comfort food or something a bit more eclectic, you'll definitely want to stop by and enjoy a meal here.“

“Good food, good wine and a good time !!!

Came to enjoy diner here with a close friend, although I will say the food was good overall the prices were out of line for what food was being served at this restaurant. They need to be a bit more conscientious about what they are charging for some of the dishes there, although I love pasta I did not enjoy spending as much on the food there as I did when knowing I could’ve easily had a better meal from a restaurant I would’ve preferred for steak, but this is the restaurant my friend wanted to go to in particular for the breadsticks and soup, fortunately that is what made the visit worth going. The unlimited soup and breadsticks helped balance out the value of the meal.“

“Visited this establishment today after reading so many positive reviews and I was not disappointed! The Beef Sausage was very flavorful & fulfilling and the Corn Beef panini was good also. I absolutely loved the decor that displayed our beautiful legends and heros. Customer service, 10 out of 10 ! Will definitely support them again.“

“The chicken pot pie and whatever the crumbsis they put on top of it is crack!Sooo delicious!! They pair so well together! I can eat a small cup or a bowl for lunch!it’s filling! I don’t live in the city, but I would get the soup delivered because it’s that good and unique!“

“My husband and I just moved in and absolutely love the food! they have a broad menu with delicious options, it is made with love and the people who work here are so patient and kind. Highly recommend!🤗“

“Good shusi and also lots of other Japanese dishes. Pleasant service.“

“Revival salad at it’s finest. We had 3 salads (Shawarma, Turmeric Tahini, and Thai Quinoa) all equally fresh and filling. Glad to have a salad place in our neighborhood that’s quality, decently priced, and that I don’t walk away hungry from.“

“I lived in Hyde Park from 1999-2012 and The Snail was always our favorite. I’m back in town for the week and saw that they were still open, so I ordered myself some drunken noodle and had a little picnic at The Point. It was the same lovely owner handing me my food and the noodles were even better than I remembered. I almost cried, my food was so good! Thank you!“

“Glad to have found a good Vietnamese restaurant in River North. My husband and I go there at least twice a month. We love the pho there, I especially love the pho bo vien. Their vermicelli with grilled chicken is also great, very refreshing during the hotter months. I keep ordering their bac xiu coffee so I haven’t gotten around to try other drinks on their menu yet.“

“Food was really good
Excellent customer service
But really small food portion size for the price

Please make sure feed the customer for the money you charge. Nobody likes to go home hungry after paying the chunk of money for food bill.
Thank you“

“Great dumplings and bao. Try a little of everything especially if you get to share . Order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called. Self service and clean up. Be kind and share your table seating especially during busy times when tables are hard to come by.“
