The world famous soup man opened there first resturant north of the border.The first canadian one is at bayshore (nepean)On there first day they sold 800 bowls of soup.

Thanks for the tip. I heard that his soups were coming to Ottawa, but I didn't realize that they'd already arrived. I'm going to make a point of sampling one over the holidays, just to see what all the fuss is about.

I drove across town to Bayshore today to sample The Original Soup Man (http://www.originalsoupman.com/)'s wares.

The kiosk wasn't busy at all, so the service was quick and I didn't get yelled at. :p

The soups are available in three different sizes - cup, bowl and liter - and each soup comes with a generous piece of baguette, a tangerine, a small chocolate, a spoon and a napkin. But they're not cheap: a bowl of lentil soup costs $6.99; a bowl of Mulligatawny costs $7.99; and a cup of lobster bisque costs $8.49!

I had a bowl of lentil soup and I was rather impressed: it was quite delicious! So I picked some up for dinner: a bowl of lentil for my wife (she enjoys lentil dishes) and a bowl of Mulligatawny plus a cup of lobster bisque for myself. (Total: $27! :o ) So far I've only had the lobster bisque, but it was incredible!

That being said, I probably wouldn't drive across town again just for a bowl of Soup Nazi soup, but the next time I'm in the area... :)

My wife enjoyed the lentil soup - she commented that it tasted home-made - and I found the Mulligatawny to be a little salty but nicely curried and very hearty.

"No soup for you!" :cool:
