Food Fact

BEST: Cheddar Ale soup

Free State Brewery

636 Massachusetts St.

$2.59 cup, $3.29 bowl

Beer plus cheese equals genius. Creamy alma white cheddar and Free State’s signature Ad Astra Ale give this dense soup an irresistible and satisfying zing.

★★★★★

Potato Bacon soup

Quinton’s Bar and Deli

615 Massachusetts St.

$3.75 bread bowl

The tasty bread bowl makes cleaning your plate a literal possibility, but Quinton’s potato bacon soup sits as heavily as guilt in the stomach.

★★★★★

Cheddar Bacon soup

Zig and Mac’s

1540 Wakarusa Drive, Suite L

$2 cup, $4 bowl

This cheddar bacon is chalky and (who knew it was possible?) just too cheesy.

★★★★★

Cream of Asparagus soup

Mirth Internet Café

745 New Hampshire St.

$2.95 cup, $4.95 bowl

This vegetable-heavy soup is velvety and flavorful, but not incredible.

★★★★★
