I might be biased because I ate here way too much during the two weeks I was working in Baltimore, but I felt like the soups were a little bland. I know the intentionally under-salt, but they also under-spice. The sandwiches are not great either, although their house salad is quite good. Don't get me wrong, this is a perfectly acceptable place to have lunch. Just don't overdo it. read more

This place isn't as good like all the college kids make it out to be. Maybe it's because I'm from New York, and I am a little spoiled, but let me tell you what I expect from a soup: 1.Hearty 2. Hale 3. Aroma 4. SUBSTANCE Well, I didn't expect much from their PHO attempt, which was absolutely disgusting, so I decided to give them another chance with a beef stew and their chicken salad sandwich. 1. Stew was watery, but oddly salty. Luke warm. Had they really just skimmed off the top of the pot? Wow. Wow. 2. Croutons were soggy, not stale, soggy 3. Chicken salad was alright, but at this point having spent $8 on a cup of beef flavored water and an OK sandwich, I wish I stayed home and made myself a sandwich. All in all, the price doesn't match the quality of the products, if you like not feeling full after you spend money at a restaurant go to Soups On. I found this place, its on 316 Park Ave, http://www.yelp.com/biz/bouillabaisse-cafe-baltimore#hrid:VNL-R3o_dg2-X9vMqBxOBg read more

I had the tarragon chicken salad sandwich last weekend and it was so good that it would be my usual order if I lived in Baltimore! It's a hearty sandwich that consists of tender chunks of chicken mixed with grapes, toasted almonds, mayo, and a vinaigrette with a bed of greens in a delicious roll. It's also much cheaper than anything comparable in Philadelphia ($5.00 for the sandwich!). I also had a cup of gingered butternut squash soup. I had to salt it to bring out the flavors, but once it's salted you can really taste the rich flavor of squash. It's also another generous portion for a reasonable price ($4.00 for a cup). Soup orders also come with perfectly crisp and delicious tiny slices of bread for dipping. The service is welcoming and kind, and the atmosphere is really cute. There are painted tables that represent the assortment of soups. Ultimately, this is a place that I would consider hitting up anytime I were in town and looking for a delightful and affordable lunch that's perfect for a student budget. read more

Portobello sandwich , delicious, black bean vegetarian and black bean with andouille , excellent. Can't wait to try eggplant and eggplant portobello sandwiches. chicken salad, great. read more

I had the Maryland Crab soup and a Pork Banh Mi about two weeks ago, and it was my first visit. The service was very pleasant and personal, and the food was delicious. I have to admit, at first the Banh Mi seemed like "too much flavor," but afterwards, I was looking for yet another bite. I have lived in the South end of Mount Vernon for almost 2.5 years, and this was my first time trying Soup's On, and I have to say, I have been missing out. It was a great lunch option (soup and sandwich for $10) and was very carefully made to order. I am not vegan or vegetarian (obviously), but there are several options available that friends have said are very good. read more

Excellent, homemade soup and salad. I eat here at least once a week and generally opt for a vegan soup and either a house or a vegan salad. The soups change daily and occasionally, a different salad and/or sandwich make it up on the board. The website is also updated daily. They are categorized as vegan, vegetarian, meat, and seafood. The house salad is the same as the vegan, but with goat cheese and no red peppers. The french onion soup is excellent. With the exception of the french onion, none of the soups are salted, so you'll need to add a bit to your liking. They provide packets of sea salt. A couple of rounds of toasted french bread are served with the soup. Iced red tea and espresso are served, as well as water and cans of something (I can't remember, but it's not soft drink, rather flavored water). They also sell frozen soups. They take cash or cards (via square). Owners are cool and friendly. Tip: you've got to walk up a flight of stairs to get in. It's also connected by interior stairs to OK Natural Foods. read more

I went here during Artscape this year. I got a lot of food for 5 dollars. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was fresh and creamy without being heavy. I enjoyed the dusting of nuts good portion of sliced grapes mixed among the savory chicken. The selection of drinks is limited at best. But thats not why I kept hearing I needed to try this place. I plan to return and try some soups since its called "Soups" on. read more

I go to UB so I'm glad this place exists. I don't always find a soup I want on their daily selection, but I can always rely on their maryland crab soup when I need a warm bowl for lunch. If I need to take the soup to go, they'll give you a tiny container with old bay on the side! Glorious! When I first went there, i didn't know what to make of that super-crunchy sesame-and-poppy-encrusted bread thingy that comes with the soup, but it's grown on me and is now an essential part of my soup's on meal. Let it soak and it turns your soup into a satisfying meal! read more

I am SO HAPPY I found this place! So fresh, so delicious, nice space and really reasonable prices. There's also an awesome organic food store in the basement so you can come and get your bulk grains at a fraction of what it costs at whole foods. read more

Soup's On - Portabella mushroom sandwich. On garlic bread. Delicious. And it was $6 - Vegetarian Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I'll admit that I was skeptical from the time I walked in until the point in which I sat down. This place is like an old converted home and is quite eclectic. I'm happy to say that I loved this little hole in the wall. Super fresh ingredients and tons of vegetarian options. I'll definitely be back! read more

I think this place may be the ONLY restaurant I miss from Baltimore now that I'm back in the west (best) coast. There are literally times when I'll be sitting with my fiance and he'll say, "What do you want to eat?" and I'll respond, "Soup's On," knowing full well it's impossible. Come back to Westwood and open your shop again here!!! Soup's On was walking distance from the Fitzgerald where we lived, and perfect for take out soup and sandwiches that were fresh, healthy, and tasty without being oversalted. I mean, they don't even add salt to the soup and you can add sea salt that they provide gratuit for your own tastebuds to savor. Don't even get me started on the bread that comes with your soup. OH LORD I want some now! And, yes, I agree with everyone else; the tarragon chicken salad sandwich is perfection and you really can't go wrong with any of the soup selections. read more

The soups we tried were all flavorful. Prices are good. Service is excellent. The atmosphere is cozy and casual. Overall it was a great experience. The only disappointment for me was the bread that comes with it. Recommend for a healthy, inexpensive meal. read more

Love this place! I've been here a few times, it's the most satisfying place to eat for lunch. I'm getting excited for winter because the soup here is phenomenal! I normally order the vegetarian options. You can pair a sandwich with a soup. I normally get the portobello sandwich or mozzerella/tomato sandwich with the maryland crab soup or a vegetable soup. They provide sea salt or old bay in the cozy dine-in area. The times I've been there, there hasn't been no more than 2 other couples there so it's usually quiet. They are also linked to Ok Natural, the market that is below them. It's little places like these that makes Baltimore so great. read more

We tried Soup's On for the first time today. They're open for carry-out. We ordered two different soups (tomato basil veg and corn, coconut and fennel chowder) and a vegan eggplant sandwich to share. Everything was delicious, and the prices were very reasonable. We'll definitely be back! read more

This is hands-down the best restaurant in Baltimore (I went to some famous crab-cake places but this is really what I remember). I went up to visit my buddy and just wanted to keep coming back here. They do a soup and sandwich combo and both are extremely tasty. Every bite is great and you walk out feeling healthy. The prices are even fair! For someone who lives in boring florida, the neat architectural layout of the place caught my eye. Next time I come back to visit, I'm making it a point to eat here as much as possible. read more

Super simple, but well executed concept. I come in frequently for soup and a sandwich. It's fast, it's healthy, it's affordable and delicious. I couldn't ask for more. read more

This place is truly a gem. From placing my order over the phone to enjoying my food, this was one most pleasant experiences I've ever had. The gentleman on the phone was kind and efficient and he graciously greeted me with my food less then 10 minutes later. My clam chowder was hot, fresh and light and the old bay on the side was the perfect amount of seasoning for this comforting bowl of soup. The bread I received on the side was fresh and pre-sliced(thank you!) and the Cuban sandwich was stacked and toasted to perfection. I couldn't have asked for anything better, thanks guys! read more

A locally owned and run gem. Great soup and sandwich options made by some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. read more

Soup's On gets my 3.5 stars, above-average soups, friendly service with a smile, bubbly-bright decor. Order at the counter, you get a number and your soup (or sandwich) comes out for you. Right downstairs is the OK Natural Foods (my favorite "grocer" in the Mount Vernon area). Soup's On has my vote for Sunday morning hangover recovery soup. read more

A fairly simple concept done right. Soups of all kinds to appeal to different palettes, sandwich and frittatas to go along. There are some stock soups that you can always find here while others come and go. Excellent for lunch. read more

Excellent sanwiches: try the portabella mushroom or the eggplant... Good stuff. Healthy and delicious. Greats soups: try the french onion it's flavorful! read more

Stopped in here completely on a whim, as it was colder than I had anticipated and soup sounded like an excellent lunch option. After all, there aren't many reasons to look forward to summer ending, but soup is definitely among them. It's an interesting location, with a long hallway that diverges into a seating area and the counter/kitchen area where you place orders. Everything on the menu looked tempting, but I went with a pint of the Maryland Crab soup to go. It came out with a side of fresh bread and a small container of Old Bay (because, as anyone who has spent any time in Baltimore is aware, there is virtually no food that can't be improved by the addition of Old Bay). All that for $6, which is a pretty incredible deal. The soup itself was great: a light tomato/seafood base with big chunks of crab, veggies, and potato. As expected, it became even more delicious with a healthy dose of Old Bay. The bread was disappointingly dry and flavorless, but it did soak up the broth nicely. Can't wait to try more of their soups, particularly once the last vestiges of the summer weather start to dissipate. read more

Soup's On offers an excellent, daily-changing soup and sandwich menu, featuring vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, and meat options. The food is fresh (they do not have a can opener) and flavorful. I've tried around 10 different soups in all four categories mentioned above, and each one has been outstanding. My favorites so far have been the various seafood chowders I had tried. The staff is pleasant, and food is served quickly. Some seating is available, but most business appears to me to be carry out. I've not tried anything but soup, but I have been told that the chicken salad is great as well. As about their pint club and earn free soup as a repeat customer! read more

Overall a good experience. I had the spicy sweet potato chili. Very interesting taste with an odd spice I cannot put my finger on. I would recommend trying it. I loved talking to the owner/cook. You could feel his passion for creating works of art minus the typical BS (corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup solids, boatloads of sodium, etc.) The dude knows his soups and he does them well. read more

I love this quaint little sandwich shop! I went here for lunch and ordered a simple tomato and mozzarella sandwich. When it came, it smelled so good. The fresh buffalo mozzarella was so creamy and tasty. It was an open faced sandwich, and it was difficult to hold but it was well worth all the mess :) I am definitely coming back to try the eggplant sandwich and their soups, it looked so delicious. Too bad this place is an hour away from me, next time i am in the area, this would definitely have to be revisited! read more

Best soup in Baltimore! I have been to Soup's On a couple of times on recommendation from a close friend and the quality has always been top notch. The brothers who run the joint are so awesome and continue to deliver some of the best food in the area. Mount Vernon is such a great neighborhood and this place, for sure, has to be a must-visit. The soup and sandwich combo is great and I cannot think of a better deal for what you would get elsewhere. I would for sure go with the crab soup! But maybe that's because I always long for crabs as a Baltimore ex-pat living in shellfish-deprived Chicago. Absolutely make Soup's On a destination. The service and food are so, so worthy of a visit. read more

One of those restaurants embodying Baltimore kitschy qualities, this place has the most wonderful soups for soup-kind-of-days. I had he sweet potato chile soup and loved it. I especially like that they keep it low on saltiness so we can just add however much suits our taste buds. Their sandwiches were pretty good too. I love how they (I'm assuming) glaze them w a bit of oil and put them in the pan (or toaster oven?) to get the right any of crisp on the outside and softness inside. I did wish that their mozzarella sandwich, which was open faced, was easier to bite. But can't complain about the amt of yummy sundried tomatoes they added in there :p My bf had the pulled pork sandwich and he LOVED it. This is going to be one of my favorite winter comfort food place! read more

This is a really great one stop shop if you want soup and a sandwich. The ingredients are fresh and the soups are made in house from scratch. This is the place I order from if Im feeling sick! The only reason why its getting four stars is that the soups rotate frequently, sometimes your favorite soup isnt available but theres always something else great to try!! read more

My wife and I spotted this place when we had just a few minutes for a quick bite before the opera at the Lyric. It's a quaint little spot with one guy running the place. We shared a cup of soup and a sandwich. The butternut squash was delicious, but really hot, so careful when you eat it...it's hard to let it cool because it's so good! The roasted pork sandwich had goat cheese, arugula, caramelized onions and strawberries...also VERY delicious!! The cook even thru in a bottle of water for free since we forgot to order a drink before running the credit card. Great place! read more

Soup's On is a great place to go when visiting the Lyric Opera House (one block away) and surrounding area of Baltimore. They have a rotating menu of soups and sandwiches. I had the French onion soup and a roast pork, carmelized onions, strawberry & arugala sandwich. Both were amazing, especially together! They also have a wide vegan selection as well, including salads. An interesting point about the decor is that the tables were all designed by students at the nearby art school! read more

Creative, different soup flavors that don't feel like they have a ton of additives. I usually always find the soup flavors to be relatively bland, but adding salt quickly fixes that. The clam chowder is one of my favorites. I also love how he carefully packs bread with the soups. I also love the chicken salad sandwich. Very filling and yummy. read more

Hearty tasty soup. For those that are on a low salt diet, this soup is amazing. And if you're not, add salt to taste. Called the owner on the phone to get the soups of the day. He was a little irritated that I called rather than go on line but I wanted to be sure they were open, He told me the soup of the day anyway... Great soup... Really and truly! read more

Love this place! Every time I've been here there are cheap eats, service is pretty good and the soups are really delicious! I've only ever tried their vegan offerings. They're pretty top notch. If I have one complaint, it's that I'd like to see more chowder type soups, but those are my jam in particular and not a reflection on the establishment. So yeah, A+! read more

I LOVE this place. Food is always fresh and tasty. I think I've had just about everything on the menu. When I turned vegetarian, I was happy to know I could still come and indulge in their vegetarian/vegan selections. #1 Prepare to wait sometimes (10 mins or so). Obviously it can be frustrating, but they're busy for a reason! The food is worth the wait. #2 Always get salt on the side. The chef doesn't salt the soups. I see in other reviews that this annoys people, but personally I like the freedom to adjust the salt level on my own. #3 The soup is BOILING HOT. Be careful even after you've walked a few blocks back to your office and open it to have it burn your tongue. Patience my friend. Also, the hot temperature contributes to the "watery" texture; as it cools, it will thicken. #4 They have a "soup reward program" for their frozen pints of soup. Score! I think the only thing I would change would be their soup spoons...they're kind of sharp and can occasionally cut the sides of your mouth if you're not careful. Favorite meal: Tomato with Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella Garnished with Fresh Basil and Sundried Tomatoes and the House Salad on Organic Field Greens with Red Grapes, Toasted Walnuts & Goat Cheese in a Balsamic Vinaigrette read more

Yesterday went to Soups On for lunch. I'm trying to eat healthier and they have vegetarian and vegan options. It's a cute little place, not fancy at all, and service is quick. You go to the counter to order and your food is ready in ten mins or less. I did a half sandwich half salad combo - vegan sandwich with eggplant and portabello with an herb aioli and a vegan salad. The balsamic vinaigrette that comes with the salad was a little too bitter for me and it was thick, it's probably made in house, but not bad on top of the salad. The sandwich was good, it's warm and a pretty big portion. If you are looking for a quick healthy lunch this is probably the place you want to go to. read more

I love this place. My favorite soups so far are the cream of tomato with mascarpone cheese and the spinach & artichoke. The included bread is so tasty. I also like their house salad - delicious goat cheese. The owners are very friendly, the dining area is simple and cozy, service is fast, and prices are more than fair. Highly recommended! read more

Amazing place for a quick, cheap lunch. The soups are fresh and invariably delicious. Kevin knows his customers well and is super friendly. There are even frozen pints of soup to take for work lunches. To top it off, there's a rewards system for ordering pints of soup. A perennial favorite is the French onion, but definitely try any of the other soups. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. Great sandwiches, soups, and dessert without overdoing it on salt. Which means great flavors from great ingredients. My favorites are the chicken tarragon sandwich, the roasted pork bahn mi, french onion soup, strawberry shortcake, and tiramisu. Literally the only thing I wish were different is I wish they were open ALL THE TIME! read more

Awesome soups and sandwiches! Very homey feel. Staff are very nice and welcoming. I had the roast beef sandwich with horseradish. The roast beef was cooked to perfection and the horseradish was spot on with taste. My friend had the butternut squash soup. A great soup to fill you up and warm uou up for the cold season. read more

This place is a hidden gem! Wish I had known about it sooner! Friendly staff, very reasonable prices, plenty of options for different dietary restrictions (vegan/vegetarian included). The soups are constantly changing and the restaurant itself is in a building that is the epitome of historic Mt Vernon architectural charm. I love that they intentionally make their soups low sodium so that you can adjust based on your personal preferences. I got a soup/sandwich combo for only $10 and the owner was extremely nice! Highly recommend this hole in the wall lunch spot! read more
