Milwaukee Grill
For decades, Milwaukee Grill has been serving up their soups made daily from scratch. You’ll find a comforting bowl of chili or vegetable beef barley on the menu, along with a ever-changing soup of the day.
Luke’s Deli
Luke’s Deli is a hometown favorite tucked conveniently off Milton Avenue. Soups are always made in-house like turkey noodle or cheesy cream of broccoli. If you’d rather enjoy Luke’s Deli soup curled up on your couch, pick up a container from their freezer of frozen soups for an easy dinner at home!
drafthouse
The baked french onion soup at drafthouse is made with a rich broth, caramelized onions, and the ultimate cheese pulls from the sprinkle of gruyère baked to golden perfection on top.
O’Riley & Conway’s Irish Pub
This cozy downtown Irish pub brings Irish staples to Wisconsin with their reuben soup and Irish stew. The reuben soup is a unique twist of sandwich-inspired corned beef, potatoes, onions, carrots, and reuben stock topped with stock croutons. Offered as an entree, the hearty Irish stew is filled with braised tenderloin, onions, mushrooms, carrots, celery, potatoes, and cabernet beef stock served alongside a fluffy loaf of bread.
Cozy Inn
Since Cozy Inn has been around for more than 100 years, they’ve truly perfected their delicious soups! Cozy up in one of their intimate original red booths for a bowl of won ton soup (their version of the popular Chinese dumpling soup), egg drop soup, or hot & sour soup.
Sandee’s Thai Fusion
Sandee’s Thai Fusion is a warm, relaxed downtown bistro offering all of your Thai favorites made with family recipes. Their soup menu is no different with best sellers like Thai egg drop soup: a delightful clear broth with silky clouds of cooked egg topped with cilantro and fried garlic; Tom Yum: lemongrass soup with herbs, tomatoes, onion, carrot, and cilantro; and Tom Kha: a rich coconut soup flavored with galangal, carrots, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. Add your favorite protein for even more sustenance!
Sandwich Bar
As a scratch kitchen, the team at Sandwich Bar is always coming up with creative, delicious recipes. This season, try Chef Michael’s shrimp & sausage jambalaya-style soup, a hearty fall chicken & noodle, or a housemade french onion soup. Even better, order one of their ‘damn fine sandwiches’ to dip!
