We visited the Soupery before they closed for the season. It's a small takeout window with a few soups to choose from, and we got the New England corn chowder. The soup was great, but even better was their grilled cheese sandwich - a combination of gruyere, parmesan, and cheddar. Delicious on its own, and wonderful on the side of soup. read more

I was feeling peckish before heading to the wedding show so I headed over for a snack. I loved the blend of flavors in the jammin bacon grilled cheese. The soup was piping hot and full of chunks, but I thought it could have used a lil more flavor since it was a "Cajun" sweet potato and chicken soup. Be aware that the Soupery is just a cute lil takeout window, so if you want to sit down and eat, you can head down to the park/water or head next door to the Juicery. read more

Pickup window for soup and grilled cheese~ Ate here several times when I was in town. I will miss this place - everything I had was great! read more

Happen to find this place walking through downtown Fort Smith. I couldn't believe all five of their soup selections were gluten-free. I was so excited! I bought 1 quart of sausage lentil and one of sweet potato and chicken. I snuck in a grilled cheese for my husband (he has no problem with gluten) he loved. Both soups were delicious! read more

The Soupery - Menu for the day - Vegan Near Me - Portsmouth, New Hampshire

On a cold weekday, I decided to head to the Soupery to satiate a craving for chicken noodle. The location is wonderfully walkable if you work in downtown Portsmouth. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful when they ran out of the full amount of one ordered soup. My officemate and I traded bites and all the kinds we ordered were delicious and had that great homemade quality. Not much to say about ambiance because there's an ordering window and that's it! You won't have to stand in the cold long! read more

The Soupery - Ordering window on winter's afternoon - Vegan Near Me - Portsmouth, New Hampshire

Nice tiny soup spot that offers vegan/dairy free options which was a must for our group. They serve out of a window from the street but you can go next door to the juicery to eat your food or they have a few outdoor tables. I got the grilled cheese and tomato soup which was solid - wish the tomato soup was a bit thicker but still good. Menu seems to change and is not as robust as what they advertise online but would try again if in the area. read more

The soup was good and the grilled cheeses were too. My only dig on the place is nowhere to stand during in-climate weather... but it's a pickup place, so it's only a half hearted complaint. read more

Had the cajun sweet potato and chicken soup with a classic grilled cheese. This meal completely hit the spot I'm so happy I came here. If you blink you'll miss it. There's no super obvious outdoor seating but the juicery next door is the same owner and you can sit there inside or outside. The soup felt super wholesome and clean. I'm extremely satisfied. :) read more

Great broccoli cheddar and tomato lentil sausage (reminiscent of chili). Both were high end and reasonably priced. Server was very nice and let us know we could sit next door at the juicery (same owners) read more

I've driven or walked by the Soupery while visiting downtown Portsmouth so many times but never been in the mood for soup until yesterday. Cool and windy it seemed like the perfect day to stop and get a bowl. I was pretty disappointed with their soup list. I would have thought at least 5 interesting soups but there were only 3 and all relatively boring. They also sell what sounded like juice shakes and had a lot of those on the menu so maybe that's where their business is focused now. I thought the grilled cheese sounded good so I ordered (or thought I ordered) Not Your Mama's Minestrone soup and a grilled cheese, however, noticed when I was paying that they only heard the soup part of the order. I had to get going and I figured the soup would be good enough so I didn't correct the woman. The soup came out fast and I was on my way. Despite not being my mama's minestrone it seemed pretty traditional to me. There was a bit of a weird after taste and it was super onion heavy. My partner and I both ate it and he ended up eating the bulk of it as I just didn't like the taste. Hours later, I had a bad stomach ache that seemed related to that soup so I don't know if had some secret heavy duty garlic (my food nemesis) or was bad as it had an off taste but yuck. I certainly wouldn't stop there again for soup, juice or grilled cheese. read more

So, I went to The Soupery hoping to nosh on a grilled cheese and soup. I was lucky enough to walk in 15 minutes before closie, which happened to be 3 pm on this day. They had a note posted on the door, that they were closing that early for a staff meeting. Strangely, it wasn't the only busniness I noticed in town with notes like that. I think I found the restaurant from the town map they gave me at my hotel. I am a sucker for an amazing grilled cheese, so with my mid afternoon hunger in hand, I set out to find this little hole in the wall. And that it is: a hole in the wall! Teeny, tiny. There is a tiny counter against the wall, with a few stools squeeed in, but for the most part, it seems to be a place best suited for grabbing your food and going elsewhere to enjoy it. Very small and cramped, Can't say that the service was friendly, or in any way engaging, unfortunately. I did notice a "help wanted" sign seeking "energetic" people, so it seems the owner realizes how important being helpful/friendly is. Hopefully, The Soupery will have some luck soon finding at least one energetic, friendly worker. Not that the girl working there was rude, or slow...just kind of bored to be there, you know? I understand where she's coming from, but you still have to try to seem more interested. Unfortunately, they only had 2 or 3 soup choices...doesn't seem like much for a restaurant called "The Soupery". Nothing floated my boat, so I skipped the soup and went just with the grilled cheese. It was delicious. YUM I would have loved a Diet Coke with it, but they don't carry any sodas, so I drank nothing. That grilled cheese was a 5*, but considering everything else, I must give a lower rating. read more

I LOVE this little place. Quality food at a reasonable cost. The mushroom soup is my absolute favorite, pair it with a little grilly cheese, bam - hits the spot. read more

The Soupery is one of the best soup places I've ever been too. It is one of our go-to spots in downtown Portsmouth! They have delicious and flavorful soups. My favorites are their Cajun sweet potato chicken and their chicken and rice soup. They have grilled cheese as well. Their soups are the perfect comfort food! Comes with your choice of bread on the side or crackers. They also offer gluten free & vegan menu options too. I wish they stayed open a bit later as we'd definitely go more often if they had evening hours! Best soup in Portsmouth! Since it's a tiny shop they are best for carry out, although they offer seating next door. Always friendly service! They accept credit/debit cards. read more

Visited this last summer and am finally getting around to writing a review. This teeny-tiny place has nice choices of delicious veggie/vegan soups available. Worth a visit. Once you get your soup, find a nice with a view of the harbor to enjoy it as you really can't "dine-in. read more

Little hole in the wall with just two places to sit. Can grab to go and sit in a little alcove outside, weather permitting. Soup changes daily bit was a little letdown to hear it's not made on premises. Very good though! read more

The best soup ever - the soup is always hot (even when I get it delivered) and they post their soup selection daily on Facebook. I've tried their Broccoli Cheddar and Cajun Sweet Potato and Chicken, both are super comforting and delicious. Highly recommend! read more

We stumbled upon this place while walking around Downtown Portsmouth. The inside is tiny and adorable, but it's a must-try! The Cajun chicken sweet potato soup is SO GOOD. We ended up waiting until they opened again the next day at 11:30 to get a 32 oz one to take with us. Try it with the cheesy focaccia bread as well. If you want to sit and eat it there, you can go next door to The Juicery which has a bit more seating room. Delicious juice there as well! read more

Very disappointed. The chili was fairly good, but it appeared they warmed their souls up in thin plastic bags and dumped the bags into the big pots to stay warm. Also, their 32 ounce was only available in thin plastic. I'm seriously wondering if I just ate food contaminated with BPA. :( I did like how their menu indicated gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian though :) read more

Delicious soups! Lots of options including vegetarian, vegan and gluten free. I just tried the kale and white bean soup and it was incredible. I will say that I wish the prices were a little lower, I just paid 5 dollars for a small cup of soup and totally could have eaten more but don't wish to pay more than 5$ on my lunch break. read more

Ordered a small clam chowder and a 12 oz. chicken and rice. My wife had the chicken & rice and said it was good. The clam chowder was mostly potatoes and just OK, not great as I would have thought for a business that sells only soup. And the price for both was over$14.00. No wonder they don't post the price of the soup so you can see it on their website. The prices are hidden behind a picture of the menu on their website. Outrageously expensive! read more

Go visit Brianna at The Soupery! Along with my delicious free sample of chicken veggie w/rice soup, she gave me some nice tips on what to see & do in the area! (Thanks again!) My only regret is that I didn't buy the soup I sampled while in the store. I thought I could get it after walking around a bit, so I was sadly disappointed to return & they were sold out. Don't snooze & lose like I did! If you go in & try something you like, BUY IT! read more

Conveniently located to my downtown Portsmouth office the Soupery is an ideal place to grab fast food that is not fast food. The interior is the basement of a historic home, with less than 7' of ceiling height and 200 square feet of space of which over half is utilized by food and equipment, this is an In & Out type establishment. Typically you have five or six soups to choose from and the same for their breads. For $7 you'll get a good sized portion with roll and you'll be on your way. Servers have always been nice and attentive. read more

Great soup options. They rotate their soup every day​; 2 or 3 soups are the same while 2-3 change. Their grilled cheese is a must get! Homemade bread with two kinds of cheese​. Great lunch spot! read more

Plain and simple: I also agree with the other reviewers about the small portions for a high price. Although the soups taste great and are of high quality, the poor value keeps me from coming back to this establishment. I actually did a survey of all the other places that serve soup and The Soupery was so out of line with everyones else's pricing. I work around the corner and would probably be here almost everyday if one of their bowls of soup could amount to a meal. Oh well. Soon enough Whole Foods will be open with all the prepared food you could want. read more

I work in town and many of Portsmouth's lunch spots that offer takeout only sell the same soups that come right out of a bag. It's nice having a new, homemade option! I've been to the Soupery about five times now and I have not been disappointed, good work! read more

So delicious! Stopped in and got the Cajun chicken and sweet potato. It had just enough heat and was more of a hearty stew than I expected but was delighted with! Polite staff and very open to offering samples! Highly recommend! read more

A cool lil hole in the wall place with really good soup. Very small place with very friendly people. It's the perfect place to get hot soup to warm you up. read more

I absolutely loved this place. It's very small and cozy which might have been my favorite part about it. The soups all have really great flavor (or at least the ones they had the day I visited). I they have vegetarian options which is always pleasing to find. The ladler was very kind and accommodating. I'm so glad I went and will definitely be coming back soon read more

Usually pretty good, but today they gave me bread that they specifically said was vegan, but when I went to eat it at home there was cheese all over the top. This bothers me a lot because someone could have had a serious allergy and been given this supposedly "vegan" bread. Not cool. Probably won't come back. read more

Cool little retaurant with about 6 soups daily. Had the cajun chicken which was good also had the chicken w/ rice and was very good needed a lil salt but other than that very nice. read more

I frequent The Juicery, which is right next to The Soupery and I have passed by this restaurant multiple times and decided to eat there today. The staff was incredibly friendly and pleasant and the soup was very tasty, but the main highlight for me was the grilled cheese. The combo of cheeses that is used is super. My only complaint is that it is very small and thus I was not able to eat inside because there were a group of people inside. Otherwise I had a great experience! read more

If you're looking for great tasting, original recipe soups, made from scratch with the best ingredients, then check this place out. I've been close to a dozen times and have never been disappointed. As other reviews suggest, yes the prices are not cheap - but neither is the quality and you get what you pay for. There are numerous sub shops and tourist-trap restaurants in this area serving high-sodium, canned or frozen soups....but I'll pay the extra buck or two and enjoy my soupery originals. read more

Great little spot to grab hot soup on a cold day. Not much space to sit, but fine for grab and go.

Got the creamy tomato soup. It was really good, although thin. Quality bread for the grilled cheese. A good amount of soup for a decent price. Just wish she had put napkins in the bag because I spilt some on myself. read more

So disappointed.... We decided to get some soup to go this past Sunday after a 4 hr drive. I got 2 grilled cheese and tomato, chicken vegetable and rice, and curried root lentil soup. There was nothing special about any of these soups. They lacked taste. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was on the gritty side instead of a smooth puree we were expecting. The chicken soup was ok at most along with the lentil soup. We got the bread option and found that 2 of the breads were stale. For 4 bowls of soup it cost us about $26; costly. Though I think they must have made a mistake cause they were like cup portions. For a place that has a website called wickedgoodsoup i expected to be blown away. Next time I'll just suck it up and make my own. read more
