Yummy on the run. Great soups everyday. Quick and easy to grab and go or stop and enjoy! Indoor and outdoor seating. Get the breadbowl!

Best cheap meal hands down. Come in with somewhere around five dollars (in cash) and leave very happy. This soup gallery offers free unlimited bread and a wide variety of soups (and salads) to meet any palate. Samples are free and remember to ask about combinations like potato and leak with broccoli and cheddar or clam chowder with lobster bisk. They are always creative, always friendly, and the atmosphere could not be more relaxing. I take all new comers to chicago to this restaurant and they all want to come back. I simply can not recommend this place highly enough. Even on the extremely rare occasion where I found something wrong with my soup they were extremely accommodating and fixed the problem immediately. Amazing service, amazing food, amazing prices, amazing location what else could you possibly need?

Overrated Soup. After seeing all the great reviews I had to try the Soup Box. The soup was cold, they were out of the Italian bread. The soup tasted like canned Progresso soup.

Simple Concept - Excellent Food!. Soup in the summer is weird but it certainly hi+ the spot today for lunch! The pitch is 12 soups made daily. We went with the Lobster Bisque and New England Clam Chowder - both were absolutely better than what you'd find anywhere else. If you want to be normal and celebrate summer, try their flavored ice gelato-ish cold creations. Also made fresh daily, the icy treats are made with REAL fruit - an excellent/refreshing/healtly lunch dessert for a great price!!!

Great Soub, so-so Ice. I love the soup selection and the prices are bueno. The bread is also very yummy. The ice on the other hand is mediocre at best. It's too watery and sugary. It could use a lot more fruit and flavor and much less sugar. It's a good price, but I'd pay more for it to taste better.

I like the neighborhood feel too.
