Soup Market

All I can say is that I have seen lines twice as long at Subway go faster. I was there 20 minutes waiting behind 4 other customers. most of that time I did not know what soup was available. How about a chalk board or easel with todays soup? It is also disheartening to see them refill their line with soup out of a bag.

This has been bookmarked for a while but since I like making soup at home it took me a while to get over until today for lunch. I have driven by it so many times not seeing the place since it's hidden in a strip mall.The place is super small with about four small tables so it's tight. It's basically soup, salads wraps and sandwiches and I opted for the combo of soup and a half wrap. I did a combo that probably no one else would have ordered because they are so far apart paring wise which was the chili dog chili and the grilled chicken Cesar wrap.The chili dog chili was pretty good with lots of sliced hot dogs that about every other bite had one and the texture of an all beef hot dog. The grilled chicken Cesar wrap was also good and I don't usually order wraps. I noticed right away that the wrap had lots of big moist chunks of grilled chicken and was tasty.Overall I enjoyed my lunch and I was impressed with the quality of the food and the fact that they don't skimp on the ingredients.

My go to spot when I'm under the weather. So much comfort in the soups they make. This visit I left with a trio of soup. Chicken and dumpling has a good broth with plenty of crunchy carrots and flavorful chicken. Tried the pulled pork with beans chili for the first time and enjoyed the nice balance of sweet and tangy. The last in the trio and my personal favorite, is the African peanut and chicken. Such an enjoyable combination of spicy flavors mixed with rice and chicken. Bowls come with bread and the friendly staff will also add in crackers and butter.Good way to help shoo the flu or get some comfort when you have a winter cold. Get your soup on!

Soup was awesome. Would highly recommend eating here. Will be a favorite place to go on my list.

Best soup kitchen around with great sandwiches as well. Get a punch card because you will be coming back. Over 10 or more soups that rotate out everyday so you won't be bored..Highly recommend.

I am glad my husband and I came across this place! The food here is amazing and the service is fast and friendly although the prices are a bit on the higher side for a soup and sandwich place.The place is a little small and may feel cramped if it's full but there were about 6 others there when we went and it wasn't bad.The only negative thing is that when I used the restroom, it felt like the toilet was going to come right out the the wall because it was so wobbly. I am 5'11" and 180 pounds. A toilet shouldn't wobble for me haha.

Stopped in to pick up a couple quick quarts. The service was prompt and friendly and he soups were very good.

A long long time ago(1999) this place opened up called Stewps and they served only soup or stew with a side of the most delicious sourdough bread ever. It was my favorite lunch spot ever. Then they expanded into making cookies and opened a second location in Waukesha. Somewhere along the line they closed and in 2009 a new shop opened that also served soup and was a cunningly similar design and setup. It was called the Soup Market. Hales corners was its third location and is still standing strong. What happened to Stewps is a mystery but I feel The Soup Market is a great solution. They are a tiny shop located in an out-lot strip mall in front of Consumers and Bethesda thrift along Hwy 100. But for being so small there is still enough room to pop in about 8 tables with seating for about 18. While it sounds like a lot, lunch rush can get cramped in there! The Soup Market has a great thing going with a large variety of soups that change daily and are available in three sizes. They offer fresh salads in two sizes, deli sandwiches and grilled sandwiches as well. For sides you can get cookies, soda, ice cream and a side of bread. I ended up getting the pick two combo which is a half deli sandwich and a cup of soup. It doesn't sound like much but it's certainly filling. I opted to take the free pack of oyster crackers in lieu of ordering bread. Good idea on my part. There was plenty of turkey in my sandwich, however there wasn't much chicken to be found in my soup. I can forgive it this time only because the flavor packed such a memorable punch. I can still taste the curry. From other reviews this appears to be the standard but I'll wait until another visit to make a final judgment on the great meat debate.I'm not sure why others have poo-pooed the staff because at the height of the lunch rush I was treated quite well. Each woman was friendly and helpful to not only me, but other customers. I even heard one man ask "how hearty is the stew?" This is a very subjective question and it was answered quite diplomatically. Another customer was raving for minutes about the cheese and asking what it was, where it came from, etc. they offered to call downtown to the distribution office to find out. Most food service employees will not go that far for a non-regular customer. I love the ease of ordering and paying, and the LCD monitors with the offerings of the day. All the daily soups are listed online, but there is a display in store that lists all the ingredients for each daily soup - handy for allergy sufferers. There is a club card to collect stamps for a free item. There is really a lot to like about this place!

Stopped in for a quick bite before heading to the movies. I ordered a bowl of Hoisin Pork Stew ($6.50) with tender pieces of pork, sweet potato, celery, and other veggies in a chicken broth. A little salty, a little sweet, and a lot of savory flavor. Soups include a large chunk of fresh white or wheat bread. There were at least six other soups to choose from, so I'm sure anyone can find a soup they'll like. I would definitely go back to the Soup Market.

Restaurant in hales corners women worker was extremely rude!!!! I was along with hubby to pick up food delivery, and needed to use rest room, as i was leaving, woman yells out rest room is for paying customers only.. so i told her i am..i would never go back, lunch time only 1 customer in there, food is probably as cold as she was!!
