Food Review: Zoup

            There are all kinds of semi-fast food restaurants catering to any culinary preference. There are sandwich shops, oriental fare, Mexican grills, and more. A new option to me is the Zoup, which offers a many varieties of soup and some sandwiches and salad. Zoup is attempting to trend set with its café/bistro style and it has added one more contemporary element, soup tastings. That’s right you can sample any of the restaurant’s 12 soups on the menu for that particular day. The soups are on a rotation, so what you sample today may not be there tomorrow. The soup sampling reminds me of a frozen yogurt shop. You get a small condiment container of soup and a spoon and you can try as many as you want, which may be a great annoyance to the lunch crowd. The soup options are varied and offer something for everyone. Their fall options included pumpkin pie bisque and ginger butternut squash bisque. There are vegetarian friendly soups and sandwich options, and salads to boot. I was pleased with my choices at this restaurant, and I would recommend it for an on the go meal or a quick bite. The half sandwich and side of soup was plenty of food for a meal, especially since it came with a piece of bread.
