Warm Yourself with These “Souper” Soups Around Buffalo

Soup is the perfect cold weather food. It’s comforting, warming and filling. Truly – what is more satisfying than a hot bowl of soup on a chilly day? Here is a roundup of some of the best soups around town. Grab a spoon and dig in!

Chonqi Little Noodle at Home Taste

3106 Delaware Ave, Kenmore

This soup is a party in your mouth and one of the most flavorful dishes I’ve had. A spicy, numbing Szechuan broth full of minced pork, greens, noodles, and peanuts, this soup packs a seriously delicious punch. With the heat from the Szechuan, this is also a great option if you’re feeling under the weather.

Avgolemono from Kostas

1561 Hertel Ave, Buffalo

Avgolemono is a Greek favorite of mine, and Kostas is one of Buffalo’s most classic Greek diners. A tasty, thick soup with a bright lemony flavor, Kostas makes a wonderful version that really hits the spot.

Braised Short Rib Soup from Neat

5175 Transit Rd, Williamsville

There’s a reason this soup is award-winning. Savory and creamy, the braised short rib soup at Neat is incredible and one-of-a-kind. It’s full of hearty chunks of short rib and is sure to leave you meat-lovers satiated.

Pho from Pho Kim Chi

3398 Bailey Ave, Buffalo

Located in Lackawanna, Pho Kim Chi serves one of the best bowls of Pho in Buffalo. Each order of pho comes with all the fixings – bean sprouts, fresh basil, cilantro, limes and jalapenos. Their House Special Spicy Kimchi Noodle Soup is something special, but you can’t go wrong with any of their steaming bowls of pho.

Curry at As-Salam Diner & Kabab House

1389 Bailey Ave, Buffalo

You might try to argue that curry is more of a sauce and not a soup, but it’s served with a spoon and delicious, so it deserves to be on this list. As-Salam is an Indian and Pakistani restaurant, and all their curries are flavorful, fragrant and spiced to perfection. If you’re still not convinced that a curry is a soup, they also offer a hearty lentil soup that does have the word ‘soup’ in the title, so there’s no arguing that.

French Onion at The Gateway Café & Grill

561 Main St in Tonawanda

The French were seriously onto something when they came up with their onion soup. It’s hard not to love a rich bowl of oniony soup topped with sizzling cheese. I love when it’s served in a more traditional ceramic crock and the cheese bubbles over the sides, and The Gateway Café & Grill serves up an excellent version that ticks all the French onion soup boxes.

Pickle Soup at Morluski’s Polish & Italian Cuisine

10678 Main St in Clarence

I know what you’re thinking – pickle soup? Properly called Ogorkowa in Polish, this traditional and flavorful soup is a must-try! Morluski’s takes their in-house vegetable broth and fills it with pickles, carrots, potatoes, fresh dill and a dollop of sour cream to create this classic dish.
