Love stopping in here for a quick lunch while working on campus (GBCC). They offer 6-10 different homemade soups each day, with gluten free, veggie, and vegan options. You also get a piece of bread with each soup ordered, and they come individually wrapped at the end of the bar for you to choose as you're cashing out. Every single soup I've had from here is amazingly seasoned and SO SO SO tasty. The price is right, the service is always excellent, and they really move people along at this busy locale so you don't have to wait for a long time. Overall, it is a seamlessly quick experience that yields excellent yummy results! read more

Came here after a visit to the bank. I always wondered what this place was but it was always closed when I passed by it before. I thought they would have a bunch of soups but they only had three soups, chicken noodle soup, spicy and mild beef chili soup, and a vegetable soup. I was hoping they had a corn chowder or tomato bisque soup but they only had the 3 choices. I definitely wasn't feeling the Chili soup so I had to decide between the chicken noodle or vegetable. I went with the safer choice of the chicken noodle soup. The soup was very full of fresh ingredients and tasty. I got the large soup which came with a choice of two pieces of bread or 4 packs of oyster crackers. I went with the crackers and I needed it to add to soup to make me full. I bought the largest soup which was 32 oz and it put me back $15+ which was a lot more expensive then I expected but I think the price point is needed for them to survive as the place wasn't extremely busy even though it was lunch time. Service was good too and guy at the counter explained what they had and didn't have. They also do protein bowls as well which I decided not to do. Overall, the soup was good, price was little high, and I was little disappointed they didn't have what I was hoping for but overall pretty good. read more

This Mac n Cheese with pull pork SLAPS Honestly, that cheese was an even consistency and very much complimented the pulled pork perfectly. Highly recommend if you ever get an opportunity to try it. read more

What A Crock - Pull pork Mac n Cheese, and a birch beer - Soup Near Me - Portsmouth, New Hampshire

I could write a long review about What A Crock but lets be honest nobody really wants to read a long review so I'll start the review by stating what people really want to see... This place is awesome, period! Their motto is "We have a passion for great soup that not only feeds the body but nurtures the soul. We are committed to using locally sourced ingredients to produce our made-from-scratch soups." I've been here about two dozen times and have never had the same soup twice and have never been disappointed, even in the dog days of summer their soups have been a welcome break during the day. If you've ever seen the "Soup Nazi" episode of Seinfeld and wondered what kind of soup would cause people to line up around a corner waiting then this is the place you should try...two great things: the soup guy (and his wife) are very nice and (shockingly) there is no line around the corner, but if there were it would be worth the wait! They have a nice selection of eight different soups that rotate daily (sign up for their email list or friend them on facebook) and they serve it with a choice of bread. Not in the mood for soup or hoping to get a soup and salad combo? Then you are in luck, fresh salad is available too. Bottom line, if you find yourself in the vicinity of Pease Tradeport around lunchtime instead of going to get a sandwich or other fast food offering swing by the International Marketplace food court and try the best soup on the Seacoast, you won't be disappointed. read more

What A Crock - a cup of soup and a piece of bread - Soup Near Me - Portsmouth, New Hampshire

People complaining about not being able to find this place - Pease Authority will not allow signs out front to promote businesses so you have to actually go inside of the building & it's right there. Along with Juicery and Tradeport Pizza. Back to business. This place is great! Soups are excellent and they let you sample if you can't decide. Nice that they have vegan/vegetarian/GF/DF options as well. They even have GF cornbread. I like that even though they have a daily rotation of unique soups, they always have their "usuals" when all you want is a good cup of Tomato soup. Cesar salad is a great lunch in itself. Owner/Chef is very talented and humorous, as he works alongside his employees. read more

Good variety of soups to choose from. The seafood stew was excellent, with lots of fish. Cornbread was good. A little hard to find, so be persistent. read more

Love this place for lunch, especially in the fall/winter. Soups are all good and come with fresh bread. Get there early if there is a specific soup you want as they do sell out quickly at lunch time. read more

Long day of traveling and we were looking for good soup. What delightful place with many daily soups, salads, breads and cookies. Everything was homemade delicious! read more

Strangest thing: I went to this place so many times but forgot to write a review. Duh... Anyway, this is nice lunch venue in the Food Court on Pease. They have 8-10 soups everyday, changing daily. But you can count on chowder and chicken noodle (in some variety) to be always ready for you. You choose the soup (you may have a trial), size (12/16oz) and type of bread (ot of 6-7 kinds). You can have your membership discount card to be marked (goes toward free soup - I already used up 3 or 4, which means 30-40 soups eaten altogether). The selection of soups is exciting, and many of them I've never seen (or ate) before. They do hot and cold soups, soups from all around the world (I hope to eat Borsch one day ;) and they also have salads/drinks/cookies. They will answer any question of how/why/when that soup was cooked, or any other question (yes, I mean "friendliness"). Oh, yeah: they cater to businesses, and our company had it for lunch couple of times. Yammy! read more

I've been a customer for a long time and these guys have got it right. Their soups are extremely tasty. Their book of recipes is very long and there is always some new flavor to try. Get there early or call ahead tho! They run out sometimes. Today I had pepper pot, pizza & creamy sweet potato w leek. Loved them. Other favorites are buffalo chicken, anything lentil, and Hungarian mushroom.check their Facebook page every morning for that day's menu. Changes daily. Chicken Curry w coconut & lime may be my new best fave. read more

I'm reducing my starts down to 3 due to the fact that they are always and continuously out of soup. Why don't they make more to meet demand? This happens many hours before closing and it's very frustrating to make the trip over during my lunch break to find this. I also found that one of the vegan soups listed was not in fact vegan. I was told this would be corrected immediately. I always ask ahead of time what exactly the ingredients are. I find the staff has gotten rude as well. Not my fav, will visit in a pinch. read more

Ate here for the first time this past week. I've been fighting a cold, and soup sounded like exactly what I needed. I work about half a mile away, so this was much easier than going to Panera, and after my last experience there I didn't really want to go back anyway. I'm really glad I opted to go here instead! I had the Doc in a Crock, which is classic chicken soup, and on that particular day it had barley in it. It was the best chicken soup I've ever had, with the exception of my mother's. It came with a couple pieces of delicious homemade bread, and they also have a great selection of baked goods as well, which I have yet to try but definitely will in the future. I will be back! read more

A co worker referred me here one day, and ever since then I've been hooked ! Soup selections are awesome, and so different ! Haven't had a bad one yet, stop by and try their soup you won't regret it ! read more

Amazing soups! Always a great selection, bread to pair with the soups and the folks who work there are really nice. You can try a free sample before making a purchase too! read more

Always fresh and creative soups. Huge rotating varieties. Great bread choices. My favorite is the buffalo chicken soup.

No soup for you! After driving around a brick, mixed use building, with a green roof two times I gave up and went elsewhere. I don't mind a little adventure finding a new cool place, but come on now.. Can't you put up a sign? read more

Delicious! I love that they always offer at least one vegan soup a day. My favorites are the Tuskegee Peanut and Moroccan Potato and Lemon. The prices are very reasonable and the location is super convenient! Definitely check it out if you are in the area during lunch time! read more

Love this place! Great soup and interesting selections. Visit then every time I'm in town.chicken marsala is my favorite.

Great soup, great service and awesome corn bread. I love their creamy tomato and that is my go to when I really want something classic. There Macaroni and cheese soup is also quite yummy. I also like that they make it from scratch and use really healthy ingredients. read more

What a Crock is my go-to lunch option. They have the best soups I"ve ever had, including Gluten Free and Vegan!! Yayy! As a celiac it is great to feel confident in what I am eating. They also have gluten free corn bread but you'll have to ask for that! They even heat it up for you. Very friendly and knoweldgable staff. read more

Just ok. Nothing to brag about. The food was nothing special and if I did not have a coupon I would not go again.

Friendly staff. Fantastic soup variations. Delicious fresh baked bread. This place is overall wonderful.

Offering a list of ~10 different soups every day. They have always had a vegetarian and gluten free option when I've been there. They also have gluten free bread for the soup. Really busy at lunch time so show up early. read more

Very good! I've been here with my wife a few times in the past month. Soups are always changing and always fresh. Price is a little steep, but well worth it for the soup quality. I would most certainly recommend. read more
