$8 for a small bowl of chicken empanada soup and a coke, along with complimentary bread, a small andes chocolate, and an apple for some reason. It was absolutely delicious especially in the cold and well worth the money, though not as good as seinfeld exaggerates it because this isnt a sitcom

You don’t come here just for soup. The Original Soup Kitchen lives up to the legend. The line moves fast, the rules are clear, and the reward is worth it. Everything is rich, perfectly seasoned, and made with actual care. The lobster bisque is thick and comforting; the vegetable soup tastes like someone’s grandmother still runs the kitchen. It’s not fancy dining, it’s a New York experience in a cup. If you’re nearby, skip the pretentious spots and grab the soup that started a sitcom episode. Just follow the line, don’t hesitate when you order, and prepare to be converted.

This place is one of the best lunch options in the city, in my opinion. Every soup comes with bread, a fruit, and a chocolate. Every soup I've ever tried here has been amazing and my only regret is not getting the biggest size. Very, very worthwhile if you enjoy soup!

I stopped by this soup kitchen in Manhattan and absolutely loved it! The soup was delicious and came with a small piece of chocolate, a slice of bread, and even a grape — such a nice touch for the price. The girl at the cashier was fantastic, with a warm and friendly smile that made my day. Highly recommend this place to everyone! 🥰🥰

Delicious as expected. Ordered the lobster bisque and it was definitely pleasant. A liiittle expensive for the size considering it’s literally just soup; but it’s NYC and of course you’re paying for the novelty of the brand. I definitely can’t complain. Maybe next time I’ll get yelled at and that will suddenly make it worth the fuss 😂

I love coming here for my lobster bisque and then I occasionally like to enjoy the lobster roll. The soup is hearty warm and very satisfying. The lobster roll is quick and pretty good

Great little take away spot for soup. I had the New England clam chowder it was very tasty and good price. Will definitely go again to try the other soups.
