What's winter coming to? I was feeling like soup for lunch, but do you think I could find any cafes offering take away soup?
Not on your life. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Not a hint of soup anywhere.
I'm not sure why I couldn't get a piping-hot, delicious soup.
Could it be that some don’t think soup is cool?
It can't be because they don't have a good recipe. I just checked Google and found 15,200,000 soup recipes.
I consider rattling off some of my favourite soup recipes to the cafe owners.
Unless I'm really weird (it's a possibility), I believe there's plenty of people who love soup.
So why are so many places missing the profitable opportunities of making and serving soup?
“Hot soup, with its low food cost and high profit margin, is a liquid asset” FoodService Director Soup Sells”
Soup's versatility makes it profitable for non-commercial operators.
Adding soup to the menu could turn a struggling business into a profitable, viable cafe.
Since soup makes you money, you will need the right tools for preparing and holding that warm and tasty product we consumers really want!
“Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.” Marge Kennedy

“Lunch is a big huge salad with every color in it. From leafy greens to purple to herbs, fresh cut herbs mixed into it for flavors. I vary what I toss into it. Sometimes it might be lentils and chopped tomatoes, other days it could be garbanzo beans, some days I might have just a salad and have some lentil soup on the side.” Christie Brinkley

“I love to make soups. My father used to say, 'There's nothing like a nice bowl of soup.' One of my favorites is... ready? Broccolini, white bean and hot Italian sausage soup. I've used escarole. Escarole in beans is unbelievable, or you can use bok choy, any kind. You can really fool around. That's one of my good ones.” Tony Danza
