Fresh-made
soup on the daily is what you’ll find at this quaint shop. Organic
cream of tomato, heirloom bean chili and the soup o’ the day are just a
few of the options for lunch. On the side, grab a quiche or ready-made
sandwiches. Don’t neglect the cheese counter.

Soup
selections are posted daily, and you can get said soups in a variety of
ways. Fill up with a big bowl. Or have one of the soup specials with a
half salad, like the tomato mozzarella or classic Caesar, or with a half
sandwich like the spicy steak on flatbread. Take one of the fresh-made
desserts to go.

It’s
not like a reason is needed to eat at Republic. With its expansive beer
list and the most addictive shoestring fries in the land, the allure is
clear. If it’s soup you’re craving alongside fresh-made donuts or a
Republic burger, enjoy a bowl of the Vermont white cheddar and ale.

Tortilla
soup — the kind with fresh chicken broth, tomatoes, onions, green
peppers, cheese and tortillas chips — always warms the soul. The soup du
jour should also do the trick. Pair it with a roasted-pepper quesadilla
and you’ve got a meal.

Native
Roots has moved from Norman to the heart of downtown. The market
features a deli where lunch and dinner are made fresh every day.
Sandwiches, quiche and, of course, a daily soup are all at your
fingertips now. There’s a spice bar, too.

The Lobby Cafe & Bar

604-4650

Home
of the white bean and bacon soup, Lobby Bar does everything on the menu
exceptionally well. Pair the soup with the quinoa salad made with
fennel, oranges, basil, feta and candied pine nuts. Extra hungry? Add a
lobster slider to the meal; it’s made with saffron aioli. For dessert,
spring for the flan or hazelnut shortbread.

Whole Foods
6001 N. Western

879-3500

Whole
Foods isn’t just for grocery-shopping needs. It also offers up a
substantial deli and bakery area. Get a made-to-order sandwich,
ready-made hot meal or dive into the extensive salad and soup bar. A cup
of soup with a salad is the perfect way to fill up, warm up and keep it
healthy.
