Rainy days are always good soup weather, and the tasty crab bisque we sampled at My Moon’s station at yesterday’s Dine-In Brooklyn launch got us thinking — what are some of the best bowls of soup Brooklyn has to offer? We’re big fans of the pappa pomodoro (Tuscan tomato and bread soup) at Panino’teca on Smith Street. And last week, we had a supremely delicious bowl of rich and smoky seafood chowder at Saul. But we’ve got a friend who claims that the best soup in Brooklyn can only be found inside a “big wooden porch with windows on 4th Avenue between 10th and 11th.” Their soup menu varies from day to day, they don’t have a phone, and apparently, they don’t stick to a schedule — but if you happen to get there on a day they’re serving their chicken mole soup, you’re in luck. Our buddy says it’s the best soup he’s ever had. Anybody else second that opinion? And are there any other highly recommended bowls in the borough?
its going on this week.
When is Japanese Restaurant week?
Off topic but…why are there no j
Japanese restaurants in Brooklyn participating in Japanese Restaurant Week? There are Long Island rest’s but no BK, anyone know?
The tomato soup with goat cheese crouton at Moto is awesome. That pea soup at Dressler was delicious, though I suspect we won’t see it again until springtime. I also highly recommend the pozole at Matamoros Puebla in Williamsburg.
Funny, I love this place (we call it the Soup and Flowers store) and today I stopped in for a bowl and got the chicken mole for the first time. Although tasty it had a layer of oil accross the top that was extremely off-putting. My vote is for the carrot ginger, or the chicken stew.
the soup at the place on fourth ave is pretty good. i also like the chicken pot pie soup there. it’s not THAT amazing though. nothing to write home about, but pretty good nonetheless.
