That was my favorite restaurant growing up. I probably ate 4,000 calories for the meal and topped it off with a heaping bowl of soft serve. 😆

I used to go HARD for the crab bisque at Bristol. Maybe not as hearty as some other suggestions but damn that stuff was delicious 🦀

Red Door’s tomato soup was surprisingly good last time I had it. I’d say my 2nd favorite tomato soup I’ve had (#1 was unfortunately from an out-of-state restaurant that’s no longer open)

Hard agree. I like the cheese fritter they put in it n

Love the wonton noodle soup at blue koi! Huuuge could serve two people/leftovers for one.

The roasted red pepper/tomato at Mike Kelly’s Westsider is good too with/out grilled cheese.

The lentil soup is the best I’ve ever had at Aladdin cafe.

Lula's on Main had a DELICIOUS Vidalia Onion Bisque. But I haven't been there in a while. Be sure to get the Fried Crackers

u/NeoSilver45 11h ago

Gert's Grille in Overland Park off of College Blvd. Soups are served in reasonably sized bread bowls, the bread bowls were always fluffy but contained the soup well - no spillage or stale bread, and the soups themselves were great! My favorite was the potato bacon soup, but they'd also let you mix soups too.

Housewife in Grandview. Any of the soups.

u/smartblondebk84 10h ago

Not sure what part of town you’re in, but western JoCo has KJs pizzeria and he makes homemade soups. He always has tomato basil and then a soup of the day as well. He serves it with his homemade ciabatta bread.

Edit: corrected a misspelling

Dude I had some absolutely divine soup at Vivalore. creamed asparagus soup and beer cheese potato soup. We had to split them for my wife’s birthday because we liked both so much.

u/Hazy_Cat 7h ago

Ginger Sue's Corn Soup
Le Fou Frog's Cauliflower Soup. - Not a big fan of their French onion though.

u/luv2fishpublic 6h ago

McCalister's deli. Be sure and get some iced tea, too.

u/dazzleunexpired 6h ago

The lentil soup from Aladdin's on 39th.

They will actually sell it to you in a gallon if you ask.

u/AmbivalentToaster 6h ago

Vegan Delight at Blue Koi is a winter fave. I get mine without noodles.

The lobster bisque at che elle is really good too. 

Whole Harvest Lentil soup is like a bean and bacon 

Treehugger has good vegan chili.

The belfry. Think “James beard award winning chef” that favorites dish to make is soup. Celina Tio never misses. Just trust me (and the iron chef herself)

The chicken soup at Tasty Thai is the best soup in the city when you are sick and I will not debate this subject.
