Soupchu - Chard Barley Soup (acme bread) - Soup Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've ordered from here twice and each time I'm so impressed. The food tastes amazing and like something your mom would make with love. The portions are really big too. I always have a hard time finishing my stew. read more

Why aren't there more great soup places? It is never a wrong time for good soup. This is ultra satisfying; what I expected with no distractions. Not necessarily an entire meal; but just right to complement a spread at home or to wrap a long day. Worth a visit to get a sense of what you'll like; I am lucky that this is on my route home. I tried the red lentil and beef marrow; will update if I return for the others. read more

One of the best lentils soup I ever had. It's creamy and flavorful. The chicken is freshly made and I enjoy the soup so much. We order the falafels salad, oh my goodness the salad dressing, It tastes amazing! The falafels are incredible! This is the salad to order! The person that order our food is very nice. There's no outdoor or indoor sitting, their service is a big kitchen just to make food for delivery and take out. If you are wanting good soups and salads, this is the place to go! Ohh the banana pudding is also good! read more

Soupchu - Red Lentil Soup Chicken Bone Broth Soup - Soup Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm so glad I gave this spot a try through takeout on doordash! I ordered the red lentil soup and the collard soup. The red lentil soup is so creamy and hearty and truly just warms up your chest! It kind of tastes similar to indian daal, something I grew up with. The collard soup was soo delicious! It felt like eating corn bread which i LOVE, but with some healthy smooth greens for texture and the kidney beans provided some protein and made the soup filling! read more

Hidden gem alert! Soupchu is one of those places you wouldn't just stumble upon unless you were looking for it. It's part of a small shop that hosts three different restaurants, each with its own sign. There's no seating, so it's strictly takeout. We ordered the beef bone marrow soup, collard soup, and beef stew. Everything was rich, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. If you're from out of town, just know it's in the middle of a quiet residential neighborhood. It might feel a little out of the way, but it's worth seeking out. read more

Flavor is there. Disappointed that there was no meat in my chicken soup. Completely different than what is advertised on photos.

We order from here every time we are in the city. The green lentil soup is immaculate. Only thing to keep in mind is that it takes quite a long time to get your food, so we always order ahead of time like 45ish minutes before we get there. But the food is well worth it. read more

Delicious Chicken in Beef Bone Broth on a chilly evening. Very flavorful and hearty. Couscous, celery, chicken, dill and other seasonings. We Doordashed this meal so I can't comment on the service or ambiance. They sure make a delicious bowl of soup, i can tell you that. read more

Soupchu - Chicken in Bone Broth - Soup Near Me - San Francisco, California

I just chronicled my utensil-free experience with this operation under the entry for their joint salad partner, Saucy Greens (review: https://bit.ly/3ZyV3AR). In brief, the shop at the corner of Leavenworth and Union is a bustling spot for delivery services and local residents. I came here to try a salad bowl, but I was also drawn to the menu of this business because c'mon, soup and salad... That's an inevitable combo. Truth be told, I was probably enamored more with Soupchu's menu than Saucy Greens'. I decided on the comfy-cozy $10.50 Chicken Bone Broth Soup which was chock full of couscous, carrot, celery, lemon, fresh dill, and shards of fresh chicken breast (photo: https://bit.ly/3YIpMKr). Sure, it was deliciously homestyle and plentiful in portion. It went well with the Vibrant Salad I got from Saucy Greens. However, the absence of a spoon made it a challenge. The problem was that they forgot my utensils despite my asking them. I had rolled downhill to Francisco Park and basically had no energy to go back up. Once I pleaded for a spoon at a cafe on Polk, I finally found a place to eat my soup. Remind me to bring my spork next time. FOOD - 4 stars...soup that would shame your mother AMBIANCE - n/a...not really relevant here SERVICE - 3 stars...nice but not coordinated TOTAL - 4 stars...I'd come back for the soups and stews...I'll bring my spork next time RELATED - Exploring Russian Hill?

Ordered delivery from here. The red lentil soup was delivery- loved the bit of caramelized onion in there. Loved their dips too- the carrot lebnah and tzatziki were great and good quantity. read more

I was sick and looking for a nutritious, soothing, and rejuvenating meal. The chicken stew from Soupchu was the call. Hearty, fresh, and full of comfort. You can tell that everything is cooked and prepared with intention. The stew portion was melty and divine. The fermented cabbage and salad were fresh, crisp and lively. The rice was soft and fluffy. And everything on the menu is well priced. Definitely add Soupchu to your delivery rotation! read more

Soupchu - Chicken Stew - Soup Near Me - San Francisco, California

Tl;Dr - Delicious soups to go for delivery or otherwise. I haven't had it in person, but thankfully they always wrap and prepare it well for transport so every time I order it's piping hot. Ordered from these folks many times, my go to is always the chicken, but I've been getting partial to the beef. I've tried a few others but I keep going back to those two. I'll typically order them both and whichever one I'm not feeling in the moment I pop in the fridge then rewarm it for lunch the next day. Always consistently good, but I do wish perhaps they gave you slightly more portion for the price. It's not cheap, but hey, you get what you pay for. read more

This business popped up while shopping for a weekday meal for the next week. Since this was their headline item on Locale, I couldn't help but order it. After all, I just can't say no to beef stew, whether it's Dinty Moore (well, maybe less likely to say yes) and, of course, when I'm on Oahu. My order was packed well (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=OR-DU4lRfTDdFkgrdBMJ8w&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) and I liked how the items were neatly plated. The beef stew plate which comes with basmati rice and comes with a small container of tzatziki (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=TD1ZkBMSXvs665R_qj932Q&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) had simple instructions as well as a list of ingredients; the order description reads that it contains tender slow-cooked beef, potatoes, carrots and peas. My friends know that I disdain from using the microwave so I used foil, water, and the toaster oven in reheating it (15-20 minutes at 300F, foil covered). My beef stew after reheating (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=T9facmEjl44sqzPBE4ZYnA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q) was as delicious as it looked. Everything was perfectly seasoned though I was, at first, a bit confused about how to use the tzatziki. I am used to eating jasmine rice at home so the basmati was a nice change. I ended up alternating bites of the three components and enjoyed the flavor and texture contrasts. The portions are generous as I only ate half of it for dinner and finished the rest for lunch a couple days later. I was surprised to see that they are located on Union Street which is the beauty of buying from food consolidators. The time and gas cost in driving around the City besides dealing with parking and traffic make it a lot easier to just click on my cellphone in ordering meals for the week. I would order this again and will study their menu more carefully the next time I order. read more

Soupchu - Chicken Bone Broth Soup and side of Acme sourdough bread. - Soup Near Me - San Francisco, California

Amazing desserts. European stille . We tasted different cheeses cakes. Everything soo!! Yummy.

Everything we had was delicious! The red lentil soup was silky smooth. The chicken soup was richly flavored without being salty. The banana pudding was delightful. We'll done! read more

YOU must try the beef stew. Would not call it tradition but what it is is amazing!~ I always order a side of extra rice because there rice is the bomb and served with fresh dill. These is always extra yogurt from the beef stew to top it with YUM The chicken Soup is the best I have had, I am not a huge chicken soup person unless at home with a cold or what have you but this soup has changed my attitude on what chicken soup can be. WOW Tons of vege and all THE chicken, good chicken. No over salted not with that cubed, bullion flavor a lot of soups can have. There are never left overs in my house of this dish Hubby tried the beef bone marrow soup and has asked me to order it all the time. True we are limited in what we have tried at this place but it's great Almost forgot the pudding which is quite tasty read more

High quality, fresh, wonderful flavor! Don't hesitate! The Chicken Soup was even better than I was craving, with the nourishment of real homemade soup, and delicious flavor & seasoning. Good quality piece of bread came on the side (maybe Acme?). Good portion and reasonably priced for a meal in SF. This is the same chef owner as Sumac, Saucy Greens and NomNom Burger in the same space. Sumac is also OUTSTANDING, and I'm eager to try the other concepts and other Soupchu soups. This is a rare gem in SF with excellent food. This is a takeout only or delivery establishment. I've only done takeout (often eat in the car). The soup was packaged well with plastic wrapped around the container to prevent leaks. Do make sure you ask for a spoon, as it might not be included automatically. The service is always warm and friendly. Outstanding all around! read more

Soupchu - Outstanding chicken soup, or what's left of it. - Soup Near Me - San Francisco, California

I recently ordered from this restaurant for delivery having never tried their food and I was pretty disappointed. Feeling under the weather and too tired to make my own, I decided to try their chicken bone broth soup. The order arrived packaged well, but the food itself was underwhelming. The soup tasted fine, but it's flavor profile was nothing special that you couldn't find in a higher quality canned soup and for less money. I can definitely make something 10x better at home, but for the convenience of just getting something quickly, it is decent. The soup itself was lacking ingredients being primarily composed of broth and it had barely any shredded chicken. The soup also comes with tiny slices of bread which, in my case, were not very fresh. One of the soups also had two pieces of the bread while the other only had one, so they don't seem very consistent in their portions. While the food isn't terrible, having only tried the chicken soup, I don't think it is worth the money personally. Based on the experience I had, I don't plan to try more of their food. Definitely will be ordering Pho next time if I need a comforting bowl of chicken soup. read more

OMG. I have so many things to say about this meal yet left absolutely speechless!!!!!! Amazing food. So delicious, so tasty! I got the chicken stew and my boyfriend got the chicken salad from sumac (sister restaurant out of the same take out window). We both loved it and will be back next week ;) read more

I usually really like soupchu and have ordered from here many times, but the portion size today was crazy (it's a little hard to see from the pic but under the stew it's all rice). The stew portion is usually double the size. I finished it and am still starving. And what you're looking at is $22, or $27 to have delivered. Soupchu- please work on being consistent with your portions!! For $27 this isn't acceptable. read more

Soupchu - Beef Stew - Soup Near Me - San Francisco, California

I always believe in supporting businesses that are small businesses. I take the 45 Union at least or twice a week. I always see people standing in line and decide to get off the bus on the way home and see what they were all about. I love soups and it was perfect for our cooler weather. I purchase 5 different soups and enjoyed it with a nice warm piece of French bread. Sorry for taking so long to write my review. They have a large selection of vegan options. read more

Service was amazing!! They are so kind. If you are looking for a meal that is healthy and will sit well in your stomach I would definitely recommend. The salads are very large. The food tasted clean and delicious and they used non common ingredients so it was definitely a change in pace flavor wise! read more

Soupchu and Sumac are both amazing!!! I'm so grateful to have a trustworthy halal soul option for when I'm not feeling well. The food is super clean and super comforting on a long day. I've had the chicken soup, chicken stew, beef bolognese, and the sumac bowls multiple times and been super happy every time. The grandmas banana pudding is also really yummy and easy to eat when you have a low appetite. It's really hard to find halal chicken soup options so I get so, so happy every time that I'm able to just order delivery from here read more

Got almost all of their soups so I could try and review each one. Red lentil soup: very different from the green lentil soup. Very smooth potato-based soup, pretty neutral in flavor, but a pinch of lemon. Red lentil is so blended up there's barely any chunks, everything is just smooth. Tasted good and it would be good for kids too. Green lentil soup: I liked this one better! More chunky, flavorful. Chard and barley soup (aka yogurt soup): tzatziki in a bowl! Pretty sour if that's your thing, but a little watery for me. Collard soup: probably my favorite. Had a slight taste similar to miso but idk what it was. Felt very healthy eating it but the taste was fully full and yummy. read more

I love soup. This really hits the spot when a craving hits or when I'm under the weather. Easy pick up and they deliver too. I've had both the chicken & tomato so far and they were yummmy! I'd be down for more chicken broth based options. Looking forward to trying the stews & salads. read more

I've never gotten as sick as I did a few hours after I ate this food. It was the only thing I'd eaten all day and my stomach was a mess. For about 12 hours. Something about this meal did not agree with me. AND...the red pepper soup was bland as hell. read more

This is my favorite place for take-out in all of San Francisco. They always have a long long because the food is so fresh. If you are in need of a treat - this is your spot! read more

Wonderful soups, stews, and broths...healthy, fresh, and nutritious...it'll make you feel good!

They operate out of the same pop up as saucy greens so I would recommend getting a little soup and salad

A yummy treat-red lentil, chicken bone, beef stew all delicious, hearty and savory. The banana dessert was nostalgic and not overly sweet. Just a solid option when we don't feel like something too heavy read more

What an amazing little whole in the wall spot, we had some amazing soups to go, at a very reasonable price. Pick up experience was super fast, they also had a great drink selection. read more

That was a great choice for a cold and cloudy day. The Chicken Couscous and Green Lentil were nice and warm...absolutely tasting. Flavors were very rich, and I loved how fresh are all those ingredients. Can't wait to try the tomato soup next time. read more

Soupchu is such a welcome addition to Russian Hill!! I think they might be a pop-up within Sumac. The soups are SO comforting and good (I love the yogurt soup). We just tried the okra and chicken stews: delicious, massive portions, and healthy. I'm a huge fan! read more

Obsessed with this place! Love ordering from here during the winter months when it's chilly outside. Go-to orders: chicken stew, red lentil soup, and chicken soup (especially when sick!). Prior to discovering Soupchu, I found it difficult to find a place with great soups/soup options. So grateful for Soupchu!! read more

Their okra stew (adding the hot sauce is a must for me) and the beyran soup are favorites in my household. Makes me grateful to live in SF :) read more

Sorry I totally forgot to take photo but I the collard soup. Yum! perfect size. Hit the spot. Can't wait to try other soups. Hope I'll remember next time to take photos. read more

Ordered 3 different soups via Doordash and enjoyed all of them. The chicken soup was a standout. Slightly elevated but not over the top with it's extra touches. Bread was surprisingly good. Prices are SF reasonable and portions are just right. Will be ordering again soon. Great to have this type of small business come to Russian Hill. read more
