Soppakeittiö or Soup + MORE is a stall in the Vanha kauppahalli. They boast quite a bit of seating…read morefor their size, although it's a bit tight and hard to navigate when it's busy. After you pay at the front, they serve you water and your chosen soup (the honey went with the salmon while I went with the regular soup option) and you're able to choose your bread at the front as well if you'd like any. The service was prompt and the soup was good. Nothing life changing, but a solid soup with a nice seating area so I could see them doing very well in the winter. All in all, I could absolutely see us coming back and would recommend it if you're looking for soup at this food hall.

We got the red broth fish soup or boullabaise soup. It was pretty good. There were mussels, little shrimps (scampi) and big chunks of salmon inside. For 13 euros I thought it was not bad as there was lots of ingredients. The taste was definitely on the salty side. But the fish was perfectly soft. The bread and the basil oil sauce (they make in house) is really rhe highlight here. I could probably eat baskets of this bread (very dangerous) and the basil oil is very addictive. Overall not a bad experience. The service was friendly enough and the food was hearty and warming to the soul. Get extra bread. You'll need it.

It's a simple catering system, you pay for a soup and whatever drinks you want, the refills are only 1€. They change their selection every day, so it's always fresh. It's just amazing. Nice service, fantastic vibe (they played Fleet Foxes, the National, Iron & Wine, so... yeah). This place deserves more cred! Just stop by for a quick bite, they have complimentary bread and croutons and such, lots of coffee choices, water... and the soup is delicious!

I'd consider Soppakeittiö (found in 3 locations in Helsinki) to be a classic in it's genre. It's…read moresimple really; the menu consists of 3 soups daily, each around 8-10e. Boulaibasse is a standard soup you can get every day which happens to be my favorite along with traditional borscht soup. They also offer some pastry and drinks. You'll get as much bread as you can eat. Maybe once or twice has the soup been a bit too salty for my taste but besides those occasions has the quality always been good regardless of the restaurant you choose. Restaurants are located in the local indoor market halls. My favorite is the one in Kamppi as it has the most space and a pretty nice view over the local marketplace from the second floor.

A few noteworthy things about this eatery tucked into the historic old Market Hall: -they offer a beautiful bow of salmon soup which appears to be a Finnish staple- my sister said it was delicious (I have a fish allergy otherwise I'd know firsthand) -they also offer a vegan/vegetarian option for soup and were very confident in its ingredients/ navigating allergies -my Moroccan veggie soup was vegan, packed with flavor, zucchini, carrots and topped with a lemon cream -they offer bottles of water and glasses for all tables as well as some tasty complimentary bread and herbed oil Highly recommend!

Soppakittiö - or Soup Kitchen - is situated within the Hakaniemi Kauppahalli (the latter being kind of an indoor farmers' market). They have an open kitchen that ally looks more like my Mom's kitchen than a restaurant kitchen and I think that this eis exactly why I like this place so much: it's honest, down-to-earth, no-frill cooking. They have a few tables with chairs - nothing where you want to sit forever, but more suited for a quick lunch while you're getting your groceries from the stalls nearby. Both thumbs up!

Ordered a salad because I had no other choice but it was pretty solid. The place is pretty cramped and tiny so probably not the best place to bring a big group of friends but great for a laid back 1 on 1 lunch. Portions are pretty "large" which is good. Great tunes as well
