Staying warm in January

Looking for healthy restaurant options is not an easy task. However, the local Zoup! seems to be a little better than most places. It’s been a cold January and so enjoying a hot cup of soup with the company of my oldest sister, T, is a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

Here is a description of how the soups are made from the official site:

These hand-crafted soups always start with stocks made from triple-filtered water, to which we add only the freshest and highest-quality vegetables, meats, herbs and spices (but never any additives or MSG). Each small batch is then cooked and simmered to the perfect level of doneness, and quick-chilled using an ice-water-bath method used in French cooking since the 1800s. This chilling method stops the cooking process at the peak of freshness and helps marry the flavors of the various fresh herbs and other ingredients. Just prior to serving, the soup is gently double-boiled, resulting in robust, flavorful, fresh and nutritious fare.

According to their official site, they have 200 soup selections. Very impressive.
