Soup Nutsy is a takeout spot in the PATH that specializes in soup (as the name would suggest). As I was working in the vicinity and interested in a lighter lunch, I decided to give them a shot. Plus, I appreciated their nod to the famous Seinfeld episode. I was surprised that there was no line on a weekday during lunch time ~12:00, especially since other reviewers made mention of long wait times. I guess I was lucky. Anyway, since there was no line, I got my meal quickly. The soups are waiting in pots at the front, so the service is fast as they just need to scoop up your soup of choice. I got a small soup meal, so I was able to choose 2 sides from a collection of breads and fruits/veggies. I decided to go for the Moroccan Madness Vegetable Medley with sides of a multigrain ciabatta bun and apple. The soup was good, definitely fresh, flavourful, and better than your average canned soup, but I wasn't blown away. Plus, the meal was kind of pricey for what I got. For these reasons I only rated them as 3 stars. However, I'm really only basing my review on one out of many different soup options. Maybe some of the other flavours are better. I would go back to try a different soup. read more

Got the cheese broccoli soup from Soup Nutsy. The soup was really bold and tasty, but it was a bit overpriced. The shop is small and very busy, there's always a line there, so a bit crowded. The server was efficient but not very friendly. read more

Although it might easily seem that spending so much on soup isn't exactly worth it, I think Soup Nutsy might be an exception :) Every soup I've gotten here have been jam packed - they definitely don't skimp on ingredients here! The chicken noodle soup had such large chunks of chicken that I had trouble dipping my spoon in...not that I'm complaining of course. Also, their combos are a great deal since you also get a sandwich or salad - essentially 2 (or errrr 1.5) meals for the same price other places charge for 1. I do have to note that ordering here seems to be pretty disorganized. Even when I went at a time when they weren't busy, it was hard getting a server's attention and figuring out where to pick up the sides and so on. I also overheard another customer who had ordered online getting confused over her food being mixed up or something. So I wouldn't recommend coming during the lunch rush; it must be an absolute mess then. That is, more of a mess than the other messes around here... read more

I just love to go to "I don't know where I am going to eat" food crawl. Soup Nutsy have so many soup choices and just thinking for to order just makes my head spin... and my Yelp Eating Friend has no choice but to line up, pick the soup, pay for it.. and screwed up the order..... Busy playing with my Yelp App.. checking in and uploading photo.. no idea what kind of soup I was eating..but really so so creamy..and wondering if my YEF wants to make me fat.. Should have come after 3 pm for Specials? Why we not doing that?? Why YEP kept mumbling that why soup so expensive? Why there's a line up? Why I picked 2 breads as a side? Why, I don't really know?! read more

The Lobster Bisque here is the Best, Jerry. The Best! The service here is much better and the people are much nicer here than in Richmond and Adelaide (people there, while not completely rude, seem quite stuck up, both times I was there). Quality: 9.5/10. Service: 8/10. Value: 8/10. Overall: 9/10 read more

There's always a huge line up for Soup Nutsy during around lunch time and after passing by it who knows how many times, I finally decided to give it a try. And wow, am I nuts for Soup Nutsy! First thing you'll notice is that there are so many soup options to choose from. Options are a mix of staples that are available every day and daily specials. They are also quite accommodating for people with dietary restrictions, as they have soup options that are dairy free, vegetarian, low fat, amongst other restrictions as well. My personal favourite soup is the chunky chicken noodle... comforting and perfect for a gloomy day! Soups come in three sizes: small (12 oz), medium (16 oz) and large (20 oz). Don't be fooled by the size of the small soup because it really is more filling than you would expect! Although prices may initially seem steep for soup, you do get a well balanced meal and in comparison to the other food options in the PATH, the quality of food for the price point is really hard to beat. For just under $10 you can get a combo which comes with a small soup and two sides (options include bread, buns, apples, and bananas). Or for just a couple dollars more (around $3 more), you can get a sandwich, side salad, quinoa bowl, or fruit bowl instead of sides. They also have a bunch of snacks like cookies, oatmeal, and loaves for decent prices as well. So if you're on the fence about Soup Nutsy like I was, I highly recommend you give it a try! The line up does start growing at around 11:30 am and remains consistently busy all throughout the lunch hour so I would suggest coming early or ordering off Ritual. Worth the extra effort, I promise! Pro tip: Reuse your paper bag for 25 cents off your purchase! read more

It gets only 4 stars because I wish it wasn't so exPENsive! That said, this is THE place for lunch in the winter. The PATH system can feel like a desolate culinary wasteland sometimes... so why not perk things up and warm your body with the best soup underground? I could do an infomercial for this place. Like others have said, try NOT to go between 11:45 a.m. and 1 p.m. - the line-ups here get unbelievable! But that's just evidence that the place is good, in my opinion! I am also a fan of the RM soups, and they are cheaper ($3.89 for a small soup), but Soup Nutsy soups are much superior in terms of selection, freshness and upscale ingredients... too bad the small soup rings in at $6.50! Let's compare their cream of mushroom-type-soup, for instance. Your spoon will stand up straight in the Richtree version. There is always a noticeable (somewhat separated) bunch of oil on the top of the soup, even though it is self-serve and it's only a 10-minute walk back to my office... and that's just gross. How much butter has to be in a soup before it starts separating like that? I have to admit, it's really tasty!!! Also, Richtree has "toppings" for soup, including Parmesan. You plop a couple of spoonfuls in there and it's like oatmeal consistency. Can you tell I don't like cold weather? The Soup Nutsy version features Shiitake Mushrooms. 'Nuf said. Start with the right kind of soup mushroom and you get the right kind of soup. Here is the description of the SN Cream of Shiitake Mush Soup: A vegetarian journey into richness and elegance. Shiitake mushrooms plucked from oaken forests. These are raised to unbelievable heights of sophistication--bathed in cream and robed in fresh herbs and seasonings. It's a soup fit for Kubla Khan and his stately pleasure-dome in Xanadu. Hmmm. Description from Richtree? "Cream of Mushroom Soup". Exactly. So, either one is satisfying on a cold winter's lunchday, but if you can spare a few extra bucks, go Nutsy!!! read more

Loving the Seinfeld references to the Soup Nazi episode! Beyond that, the first thing that surprised me was the cost! Holy cow. It was like $9.80 for one of the specials, Creole Shrimp Tomato Bisque. It does come with two "sides" where bread and fruit are your options. The second surprise was how gosh darn good the soup was! Holy moly. What amazing depth of flavour. The bisque was so velvety and creamy in texture without being too rich in flavour. Every spoon was as good as the last! The shrimp flavour sung brightly throughout. And the bread side was very fresh and was perfect for dipping! Gosh darn I hate the idea of paying $10 for a soup but it's hella worth it! One of the best bisques I've had! read more

In search of Gumbo for awhile and Nutsy was one of them. For some reason, Soup Kitchens of any kind are located Downtown. Finally got to give Soup Nutsy a go during the 9-to-5 crawl. 2.5 *Star* Line up, another line up. Fck Look at menu boards. Soup staff calls NEXT. Place order(soup type, size). Go to 1 of 2 cashiers. Pay. Oh, we're suppose to choose 2 sides(breads, veg sticks, fruits,etc..)? Didn't look in my bag, charged me double. Paid me back diff in cash. Next guy had butter, where's mine? Go to cashier, wait, ask, receive. Looks like I'm a rookie-in-training. Thought it would be simple & easy. Cajun Seafood Gumbo - Lobster meat(?), Juicy(?) baby Shrimp, Moist(?) Snow Crab, Tomatoes, Green/Red Peppers, Cajun Seasoning, and Rice. Gumbo looked beige(sorry I'm bad with colors) and quite thick. Good weight to the bowl and tasty enough. The Shrimp had the dried shrimp reconstituted feel. Could have contained Lobster and Crab, but in the mess I wouldn't have known. I still can't explain the color. Did the Rice overtake or is it some Cream/Milk? White or Blonde Roux overdose? read more

Soup Nutsy - Creole Shrimp Gumbo - Soup Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Craving soup and up for a change, I finally ventured out into the path the other day and found my way to the TD Centre where the famed Soup Nutsy was located. I was initially greeted by a long, discouraging line up that snaked outside the soup shop, inching its way towards the bank of ATM machines. My impatience was immediately assuaged as I noticed the line was moving quicker than what I initially anticipated. Inside the establishment was a fairly simple set up consisting of a counter with rows of soup cauldrons and an assembly line of staff members pouring each patron a cup of their desired size and flavor. All soups come with a fruit/veggie bag + bread for roughly $8 (depending on what type of soup you get as meat, veggie, & seafood vary in price). They provide reusable soup nutsy bags that gives you 25 cents off on your next visit and also a loyalty card with the promise of 1 free small soup after the purchase of 10. The menu is pretty consistent offering an array of soups and a few seasonal changes and daily specials. That day I had a hankering for some crab so I ordered the Jamaican Crab Bisque. The small size soup is filling for lunch, especially since it is a thick soup. Smooth in texture, the creamy bisque was extremely flavorful with a hint of celery and spice. The chunks of crab meat in the soup were sweet and tender although scant throughout the cup. Overall, a delicious soup at a reasonable price for lunch in the PATH. I would not consider getting a "plain soup" (such as chicken noodle) that you can get for less than half the price at another chain restaurant in the path. This place is definitely worth a try but if you are going to spend $8 you may as well get a specialty soup. read more

This is definitely the go to soup lunches in the path downtown! It's conveniently located right under the EY tower. There are many great selections of soups and various choices of sides like bread/fruits/veggie sticks. I had the clam chowder in medium with a banana and slice of bread for ~$11 after tax. It's definitely not your can soup stuff. The clams were tender and flavourful. There was good chunks of potatoes and celery. (1 star taken off because one large piece of potatoe wasn't diced) I went roughly at 11:40am and I cam see the crowds were on their way. Definitely recommend coming early before the line starts! read more

Soup Nutsy - Clam chowder (added black pepper) - Soup Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Absolutely the best soup in all of Toronto. I'll agree with most Yelp-ers that it is a bit of a wait so if you can beat the line I'd recommend it. But then again I'd be content waiting 20 minutes for the soup as well. I usually ended up getting the Sherried Stroganoff and Jamaican Bisque soup Well worth it! read more

If you are in the mood for soup or chili this place is for you. They also have a fridge with freshly made healthy wraps etc. it's a great place. Remember to keep your bag they provide you for a discount on your next order. They also have a membership card towards collecting and redeeming for free soup. 4.0/5 * read more

I decided to try this place our since it had some very good reviews. Firstly, keep in mind what their name is... Soup... so you'd think that is what their core business is... Soup. First time I tried this place, I made the mistake of arriving shortly after noon. Needless to say I was about 20-30 ppl back in the queue. My first thought was... well this is a good sign. So many ppl queued up, means it should be really good. I finally go to the point where I could order, I had picked up a pre-made sandwich from the cooler, and got a soup. I saw that they did some taste tests, but due to the number of ppl in the place, I decided not to try any, and just ordered. I had ordered, there were of course no spots to eat it, so I went back to the office. The soup was still volcano hot. However, it wasn't overly flavourful. Hmmmphf ! Go figure, being their core business, I would have thought it should be the best soup. The sandwich was good, but nothing overly fantastic either. I chalked it up to maybe it wasn't a good pick of a soup. About a month later, I decided to try it again. This time, I went before noon, was able to try a couple of the soups. Again, they were ok, but nothing fantastic. I had decided that I'd settle on one, and took that back to the office. Again, it was volcano hot, and again, it wasn't overly stellar. I gotta say, if your business is only soups, I would assume that you'd have something really fantastic. Again, I was disappointed. Overall, the price for the meal is a bit high, but I guess this is downtown Toronto. The soups I tried left me with a, meh, I've had better feeling. The sandwich was ok, but again, I'd rather pay for a freshly made sandwich instead of something that has sat in refrigeration all morning. I'm not feeling the love for the Soup Nutsy.... No Soup for me. I'm going to try other places thanks. read more

I don't get it. I can't believe I spent almost $10 on soup. I visited a few weeks ago, around 11:45 AM on a weekday, and ordered the chilli, with two "sides" (if you could even call them that), where my total came to around $9.00, more or less. Again, on soup. Yikes. If the soup were made of gold, I'd understand the pricing. Then again, if quantity and quality matched the cost, I'd understand the pricing. But, for what it actually was, and what I actually received, I'm skeptical. The chilli was average and on the saltier side, and the two "sides" were: a) one small, measly piece of sliced bread, and b) a few chopped sticks of celery and carrots, wrapped sadly in a small piece of plastic wrap. As others have said, I don't understand the hype. With all the options there are in the PATH, I'd rather spend that $10 (or much less) on food of greater quality and quantity. read more

This place is tucked right at the bottom of the escalator from my work place to the underground. Seeing as how I'm lazy all the time, I was intrigued at going here due to its proximity. I then saw the line that snaked outside and around the corner and was further intrigued. If that many people are lining up, then it must be good. That mixed with the name--I had no choice but to stop there. I went early (I was told never to go here at noon or after) and loved the names of the different soups. I also like that they have acronyms beside each soup letting you know if it's dairy-free, low-fat, spicy, etc. This helped for me as I am lactose intolerant and love spicy soup. I settled on Caribbean Chicken with veggies and wild rice. Being a self-professed snob when it comes to Caribbean cuisine, I ordered it to find out if it indeed was Caribbean soup like my family would make and if it was spicy. Now, the soups are relatively expensive (small is about $7-8) but they come with two sides (your choice of bread, veggie sticks or fruit). I didn't want the two sides and was a little annoyed at how they kept pushing it on me. I mean, technically, they're still going to get the full amount from me. Still, it reminded me of my Italian godmother when she insists I eat so I let it slide. When I took the lid off, the aroma of the soup had me salivating. Mind you, it was no Caribbean soup we would ever make at home, but it definitely looked like something a Caribbean chef would come up with to serve the tourists. It was delicious. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked but it still tasted very good. It's definitely a spot I plan on frequenting with the cold weather approaching. read more

If you want to avoid the line-up, it's best to visit the Soup Nutsy before lunch time or after the rush. If you can't wait that long, head there and be prepared to wait. But why go, you ask? The answer is simple: they have awesome soups. You can get a variety of choices that accommodate to different diets such as vegetarian, lactose intolerant to full-fledged meatarian. I've sampled most of their soups but once I find a soup that I like like their Old Fashioned Chicken noodle, it's hard for me to not order it again. But needing a change once and a while, I do love their Jamaican bisques and clam chowder, both of which are calory-induced bowls of heaven; the West African Senegalese Peanut Soup is nutty and spicy, and their Miracle Vegetable Diet Soup is full of flavour. Both small and medium sizes will cost you less than $10, including taxes. Expensive for soup, yes, but their portions are generous, and you get a small bread bun (whole wheat, sourdough or baguette) and a piece of fruit or vegetable (apple, banana, celery and carrot sticks) And don't forget to keep your paper bag handy for the next visit. They remove 25 cents off of the final price. read more

My team at work were ranting and raving about this place for a while so we decided to go on a magical journey to find it one day. Being used to really great home-made soups from my fiancées mother, I was excited at the prospect of finding a great soup place near work. The selection is great but I have to warn you that some of these soups are basically the equivalent of Tim Horton's coffee - they are mediocre at best and made tastier by adding a sh*t load of cream. One experience that really put me off was having the Lobster Bisque (my favourite type of soup) and finding more massive chunks of potato than lobster and also finding shells in every third spoonful! This place does not live up to the hype in my opinion. read more

Best soup I've ever had in my life when I can get it. They sell out very early and when they are done they close up till the next day

There are a lot of great things happening over at Soup Nutsy . The lines really are always massive over the lunch hours but they move surprisingly quickly. Another nice touch is that their daily menu is online - I usually look it up on my blackberry while I wait. For the indecisive among us, the line gives me some time to sort out whether I'm craving tex mex chili or peanut chicken soup... I don't really think it's any more expensive than any of the other food court lunch spots. $6.50 for a small soup combo that comes with a bun/piece of bread and your choice of an apple, banana or veggie sticks. Healthy and wholesome my friends. They also offer a stamp card for frequent shoppers - I had a free soup combo just this week for buying 10 meals. Also - if you reuse your soup bag and get 25 cents off your meal. Unfortunately I constantly forget mine, but you get the picture. read more

GUMBO? WHAT? DONE. FIVE STARS. YEPP. alright, y'all you can go home now. (Kidding!) I first came to know of this place after looking for places to grab soup for a sick friend of mine who lived nearby at the time. One of the best food discoveries I've ever stumbled upon, as its been four years and I still come back here when all I can think about is a big, tummy warming bowl of well flavored deliciousness and then I read what kinds of soups they have and well... *ends up teleporting over* Pros: -SO MANY CHOICES UGH BEAUTIFUL -daily specials that cater to the meat eaters, veggies and crazed cream connoisseurs -free samples! -I like how they have the 'pick two items' thing with your soups, it's nice to have a piece of fruit or soft bread afterwards (makes a good snack for later!) -after three, the soup special! Two huge soups, four sides, $15. BAM. Cons -after 3 special sometimes doesn't have everything (not a dealbreaker in my opinion) -semi-expensive otherwise, but on the same page as other edibles in the area (not a dealbreaker either) Totally worth a try if you're in the area during the non-lunch periods! read more

I think it's fair to call me a regular. In the winter, I frequent this place at least twice a week. In the summer, it's down to around once a week. I suppose I'm a not-so-fair-weather soup fan. My personal recommendations would be the Beef Stroganoff, the Vegetable Miracle Diet Soup (surprisingly good!), and the Tomato Roasted Pepper Fusion. The Tomato Roasted Pepper Fusion is only available on Fridays and makes my week. I count down until Fridays, not only because I love Fridays, but because I know my favourite soup is waiting for me. The line is long (especially in winter), but it moves fast and never takes much more than five minutes, even when there are thirty people ahead of you. It's intimidating for new-comers, but what hurried and harried food court restaurant isn't? Plus, it's worth it. Bring your bag back and you'll get $0.25 off your next purchase. Buy ten soups and you'll get your next meal free. read more

I decided to get a chicken soup here today since I'm suffering from a cough. For $9 for a SMALL I expected this to be pretty damn good soup but was disappointed. It wasn't really anything special and I think I can make something better at home, maybe it wasn't the right soup to get but man that's highway robbery for a soup. read more

Soup Nutsy offers a large variety of soups with the menu changing daily.. I believe you can check online for what soups are offered at each location. Soup Nutsy can be quite pricey if you order just a soup alone, but the combo is a good deal. For ~$9 you can get a combo size soup and a salad/sandwich/wrap.. which is not bad at all for lunch in the PATH. My favourite soup is the crab bisque. Remember to go early to avoid lineups and there is not much of a salad/sandwich/wrap selection if you come after the lunch rush. For returning customers, remember to bring your paper bag back for a $0.25 off your meal! :) read more

This was my first time ever trying Soup Nazi but definitely not my last, i've been working in this building for two months and never found this place until today. What a great first impression! I showed up at 1 PM to ask for either the seafood bisque or the chicken gumbo as I like my food very spicy, and unfortunately both were sold out - sure enough just like the Seinfeld skit their response is "no soup for you! " so I ordered amazing beef stroganoff, and a medium which will feed me for two days was only eight dollars and came with 2 delicious fresh baked whole wheat roll. Plus when I was paying the lovely Jamaican cashier came over with a medium size gumbo that she had found in the back or something, and gave it to me for free with a wink. I think it's cute when people from spicy countries find it amusing that Caucasians like their spiciness. What an amazing deal, so now I have enough food for three days for eight dollars. Who would've ever guessed you could get a great deal financially on Bay street? read more

Not sure what the big deal with this place is. Soup is good, sure, there is a big selection, sure, but why would anybody wait in such a long line to get soup? The good thing is that you get some veggies and bread with your soup - but still the line up is a killer and I don't have time to wait for 20 minutes for a $10 bowl of soup. If you're crazy about soup - go there, the soup is good - but there are other places you can get soup in the PATH and not have to wait half your lunch our to get it. This place would get 4 stars if they could figure out how to serve quicker. read more

Within the Banker's Bunkers, this place has the most inventive and delicious soups, by far. Being conveniently located under a spacious stairwell helps ensure that there is plenty of room for the 25 people in line ahead of you. There are always about 10 varieties of soup available, with everything from rich bisques, stews and cream soups to the lightest veggie soups around. I hardly ever go here because I find the lines prohibitive, but if I happen to spy an unusually short line up, I'll rearrange my day to get a bowlful. read more

Yep, we've had the Soup Nazi but this is Canada so since it's a bit more offbeat up here, Soup Nutzy may be more appropriate. I came into TD Centre looking for a Harvey's and that's gone and instead I found this soup paradise with around 10 soups offered each day. They come in three sizes but at around 8-10 bucks a serving, it's a bit pricey considering it's just soup. Much like Baskin-Robbins, you can try any soup you want before you order, which was good because I wanted to try the gumbo. When the server first opened the pot, the gumbo looked more white than red. So right off the bat, I knew it wasn't a true 'gumbo'. Not a bad one. Just not a true one. Instead, I stuck with the Chicken Noodle and this was loaded with a ton of chicken, noodles and veggies. You can also have two 'sides' which are actually bread or fruit. So I got a thick, lengthy slice of Italian bread and a banana for later. Bread was very hearty although I would have preferred crackers which would have been ideal for the soup. The soup may be good, but what's the deal with the website? Looked like it done in '96 for Mosaic browsers with the butt-blah interface and the 'online ordering' which in reality, is just a lengthy and confusing form for people to fill out who work in the office towers the soup bars are located. Couldn't these guys get with the times and come up with a site that is just as nice as the restaurant itself? While it is pricey, the soup itself was very hearty and tasty. I would definitely consider a return upon my future visits to Toronto. read more

Ordered Chilli .. Chicken Chili. It was beyond salty. You could gargle your sore throat with it. It was terribly difficult to eat something so salty. Very dissapointed. It made Wendy's chili look beyond good. read more

Located in a food court on the path near Sheraton Centre. Wide variety of soups available in several sizes. They also have salads. I enjoyed the Spicy Southwest Lentil. The soup is served piping hot with your choice of two sides. Tasty and filling. A good choice for lunch. Prices are a bit high. read more

3.5 stars. This is one of my lunch mainstays. People at the office make fun of the fact I eat here seemingly every day. (But really no more than three days a week.) To be honest, however, I come here because it's not greasy or rabbit food like 99% of the other options in the PATH, and doesn't feel too unhealthy as long as you stay away from the heavy cream-based options. Most of the soups aren't great. They use too much cream in the cream soups, and too much oil or thickening agents in the other ones. The chilis are disappointingly bland with frequently undercooked ingredients. I stick to the Jamaican Crab Bisque (great flavour but a little light on the crab), Italian Wedding Soup, Aztec Chipotle Chowder and Senegalese Peanut Chicken. This is a good option for the PATH but if you don't work downtown you're better off walking a few blocks west to Ravi Soups. read more

I feel like I died and went to heaven, in the Richmond / Adelaid centre of PATH (Toronto). This is my ultimate dream restuarant. Just soup. Lots of them. Exotics and gourmet. No, that does not mean anything with a lentil. It means mouth watering selections like Spicy Hot Tom Kha, Creme of Shitake, Cream of Asparagus w/ Blue Cheese or Sherried Beef Stroganoff - to name only a few of dozens. And for you purist, there is Chicken Noodle and Clam Chowder. Like Chipotle, they keep it simple and assembly line efficient. A recipe for success. Order a medium size soup, and choose your bread, fruit or a veggie cruidite. Throw it all into a paper bag and you've got a combo meal for under $8 unless you need a bevy. That's a healthy and cheap alternative to most places you will find in PATH or Eaton Centre. The only difficult part is deciding WHICH delightfully created soup you want. There are a dozen hot soups and a couple of colds. Who knew you could make a cold Mango Lobster Gazpacho ?? You know Soup Nutsy is hot because the line up is clear outside the door. Which is why they include a sign at the line up that clearly says, "Line up here to order or No Soup For You!" Nice! Being that I have a weakness for East African cuisine and I want to try West African, I chose the Senegalese Peanut Chicken Soup. First bite - pure food porn. Then, just like after indulging in porn, the guilt comes. The peanut buttery goodness is probably a calorie grenade, but so worth the extra 45 minutes of cardio I'm gonna have to do. I was so happy to find multiple recipes on the web. I will definitely be making a batch when I get home. I want to share this amazing synthesis of flavors that remind me of Thai cuisine, but really very unique on its own. Must be the cumin versus the tamarind and tendancy to be more savory than sweet like many coconut milk laden Thai dishes. Sadly, I can't think of a single West African restaurant in California :-( The only bad thing - There are no Soup Nutsies in the US. I can only pray they will go franchise. read more

I was extremely impressed by their soup game! Came for lunch on a week day, each soup comes with 2 "sides" such as whole fruits or breads. The concept was weird at first - if you factor in the price, $8+ for a tiny cup of soup plus bananas & cold bread? Nonetheless, everything smelled so good, I had to give it a shot. I got a chicken pot pie soup, which came with little pie bits you can add in. The soup was PIPING HOT, I couldn't start eating it until I was done my bread. Bread was nice and fluffy and tasted nice with the soup. Soup itself was GOOD. Very rich and creamy; chunky with chicken, veggies and potatoes in every bite. It wasn't a chowder like soup, but more like you took actual chicken pot pie filling, added just a tiny bit of liquid and there's your soup! It was so indulgent and filling, I felt like I didn't need dinner that night. The price on the high end for me, especially if you're getting the meat/seafood soups and the cup you get is a lot smaller than most places. However, you do feel comparably as full when you get a sandwich for the same value. I will definitely come back to try all their other soups! read more

VIBE Not one of the easiest places to find. Go with someone who knows or ask along the way. It's very tucked away in the TD Centre. But a lot of people know about it and they are sharks! So go early or wait in line. Make sure you have your money ready. It's not a time to chit chat. It's very quick and dirty here. Cash works best but they accept debit/credit. I ATE I'll talk about my favourite: The Lobster Bisque. That sweet, sweet lobster bisque. Creamy and gooey and addictive as crack (not that I would know). But damn. Oh, and you get two sides; usually, bread and a piece of fruit. Five a day! OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK Nuts to pay $10 for soup? Yup. But it's soup nutsy! Wish I could get back here for some of that crack loving lobster bisque. Store front location on the Danforth please? read more

I love soup. So when my office moved down to the PATH, I knew I needed to try all the various soup places in its maze. Enter Soup Nutsy. Points for having the soups that day on their web site (http://www.soupnutsy.ca) and also for clearly stating which are gluten free, dair free, vegan, etc! They were nice to explain what we got with the meal (two items, I believe the choices were either fruit, saran wrapped carrot and celery sticks, or a piece of bread). They explained the bag and how when I returned with it, I'd get 25 cents off my next order. Tried the West African Senegalese Peanut Chicken. Very good and filling. I will definitely be back to try their other soups! read more

Definitely one of my favourite options for lunch in the PATH. Great value. For less than $8 you can get a thick, filling soup, along with a choice of 2 sides (bread, fruit or veggies). My favourites are the Butternut Squash with Roasted red apples, Curried Lentil and Tomato Bisque, Potato Leek Chowder, Creamy Garden Vegetables, Asparagus & Blue Cheese, and Mexicali Tomato Corn Tortilla. All of these are "specials" though, and are not on the roster every day. So I like to check their website which is updated every day to list the current menu. Many specials sell out fast though. Lots of meat and seafood options as well. Sure, there is always a lineup if you go between noon and 1:15 pm, but as others have said, it moves fast and is worth the wait. Keep your bag and bring it with you next time to save 25 cents. Also, make sure you get a "frequent buyer" card - buy 10 soups, get the 11th free. read more

Let me start by saying that I have stomach flu so I can't eat anything spicy or greasy. How I got it is another story. Back to the review. So I was on the lookout for a non-spicy, non-greasy option in the PATH, and spotted the chicken noodle soup here. Initially I thought $9.05 (what the medium size cost with taxes) was pricey. Well I still think it's pricey, but it was very flavourful so I'm willing to forget that for a few minutes. It was good hearty soup. But I didn't necessarily want the sides that come with it--I'd rather pay a little less. The line was long, but moved at a reasonable pace. Soup of the spicier options looked delicious, and I bet those are more worth the money than the chicken noodle. I'll be back to try those. This should have been a 3.5 but I'll update soon. read more

MMmmmMMMMmmmmMM! I looove the chicken noodle soup! I love how you can pick your two items to go with your soup and it all comes in a cute paper bag which you can reuse. In bringing back your bag you get 25c off your meal :o) so good. Only crappy thing about Soup Nutsy is their website and when they run out of chicken noodle soup. read more

Excellent soup...have dried both their dairy and non-dairy soups. Free bread and fruit/veggies. Several other options on the menu, but have not tried them yet. What I really love though is their Android app. It makes viewing the daily menu on your phone so much easier than having to navigate to their web site. And it's free on Google Play! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thecc.networking read more

I just paid 10$ for a tiny really salty soup and 2 pieces of stale bread. This is what a soup costs in a steakhouse like Keg.
