Best soups in Hamden! Never had a bad soup. Some I like better than others especially lasagna, gumbo and standard tomato.

We cannot say enough positive things about the Soup Girl!! We travel to CT from the Midwest to visit 98 yr old family member. The ability to bring delicious soup or have soup delivered to the senior care facility is a comfort! So many varieties and we have never had one that is not enjoyed. Our favorites include the lemon chicken orzo & curry pumpkin. Support this shop!!! read more

The soups are inconsistent. Sometimes delicious. Sometimes thin and tasteless. I want to like it. But it's rolling the dice. It's also not cheap. read more

I was in the area and tried The Soup Girl for the first time last week and took home a shrimp bisque, chicken chili, and a pint of strawberry cheesecake ice cream. Oh my word. I enjoyed the soups (lots of shrimp in the bisque which I appreciate) but the ice cream was out of this world. So smooth (no ice crystals), ample strawberry swirls, bits of Graham cracker crust and and the base was creamy and delicious. So glad I don't live super close because I would get into big trouble. read more

Always a great experience. The owner is such a sweetheart, every time greeting you with a warm smile. Just picked up some sweet potato curry, tri lentil and chicken and wild rice. Love that there are always a bunch of vegetarian options. So happy soup girl is a staple in the community. read more

If you haven't tried The Soup Girl yet, you're missing out! They offer such a wide and unique variety of soups each day, both hot and refrigerated.

The food at Soup Girl was so delicious that I didn't even have a chance to snap any pics before devouring it. I opted for the grilled cheese and tomato soup combo which also included some high-quality Dijon mustard to dip the grilled cheese in. I've ordered this several times and it's always so savory. The soup is so hot and fresh, even when I order delivery on Uber Eats. Everything here tastes homemade and comforting. One of my favorite hidden spots in the area! read more

Soup girl is a staple on Whitney. One of the best stops for a quick and healthy meal they have multiple delicious vegan options as well!

They have some delicious baked goods and I always end up grabbing a couple! Definitely a stop worth making! read more

I got a bowl hot lasagna soup with bread for lunch, and it was delicious. I also picked up another soup from the refrigerator case for tomorrow, and some tres leches bread pudding for desert. They have four or five hot soups which change daily, plus a variety of soups in the refrigerator case. The interior is very small, there is no seating, so if you don't want to take your soup home, plan to eat it in your car like I didn't read more

It is challenging these days to find a good soup. Many places use way too much salt and hardly have any real flavor, let alone chunks of fresh vegetables in their soups. There is one magnificent place you won't be disappointed visiting on 1242 Whitney Avenue in Hamden. This location is dedicated to just making fabulous, extraordinary SOUPS! They have a variety of four imposing hot soups every day and for those of you who are gluten-free, Vegan or vegetarian, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the variety offered. The soups are hot from 11 to 2 but they also have lots of choices in the fridge if you can't make it during those hours. Today we enjoyed two different soups. As you can see from the photos they were full of pasta, beans, fresh vegetables and barley. You can taste the TLC in every spoonful. Great place on a cold day! read more

I'm not sure if it's my taste buds but the coconut rice pudding tasted like it's spoiled. Our office had purchased this and I already received a call from a coworker that theirs tasted spoiled as well. I am not a fan of the broccoli cheddar soup, either. I tried it but it reminded me of the consistency of baby food, so I wasn't really a fan. I wish I had a better review but, sadly, I do not. Hoping they do better. The spoiled rice pudding is enough to turn me off from returning as obviously it was sold beyond the date or it was made with spoiled ingredients. read more

At lunch today I wanted some tasty soup. I went to The Soup Girl in Hamden, CT where they make soup fresh daily. You can find the list on her Facebook page. Today they had a soup called Shrimp Bisque/bread or crackers. I've never had this Shrimp Bisque soup until today. I took a chance and I'm glad I did because it was AWESOME. I got a cup and now I wish I would have gotten the bowl. LOL This only means I will have to go back. I usually get the White bean and chicken chili or Chicken noodle and those are very good as well. I'm a creature of habit but today I stepped out of my comfort zone. New Year and new ventures in 2022. You can get fresh cold soup from her fridge and the list is endless. Take them home warm them up and your meal is complete. In the back of the store they have a hidden gem - homemade ice cream and it's very good. Great place to check out for a hot soup, cold soup, desserts and homemade ice cream all in one little spot. I love spots that offer you one-stop-shopping. Go check it out and tell us what you think. 1242 Whitney Avenue, Hamden, Connecticut (Near Putnam Ave) read more

Soup is absolutely delicious!!! I would eat soup from there everyday Service and Staff are amazing Thanks read more

I'm so grateful to have this option for a healthy, tasty, and easy lunch! They always have a few hot soups available - just ask and they will serve it up for you in the back where it is kept (probably for sanitary reasons). They also have a ton of soups in the fridge if you don't like any of the hot options - soups with meat, chicken, seafood, vegetarian, and vegan options abound. My favorites are the seafood bisque and the chilled beet soup. My husband got a soup with black beans and sweet potatoes today and it was so delicious! One of my friends is addicted to the lemon chicken soup. Basically, whatever your soup preferences are, the Soup Girl has got you covered! They also have really great bread pudding in the fridge that I recommend if you have room in your calorie budget. This is a take out only restaurant so you can't eat inside. They have tables outside, but obviously that doesn't work in all seasons. read more

Today I picked up some Escarole and Bean soup and Bread Pudding for dessert! The soup was super delicious and I loved the bread pudding! Highly recommend to treat yourself to soup and dessert this busy week of cooking!! read more

Soup Girl/Scoop Girl has the best soups & desserts ( I enjoyed the bread pudding). Scoop Girl has this flavor of ice cream called the Black Tiger. I was looking for regular Chocolate ice cream and was pleasantly surprised and impressed. read more

Delicious, but the locals already know this. Go in a random times, and you'll see regulars popping in for hot and cold soups. Grab a treat from the baked section, including two gluten free options, and you have an easy, satisfying meal! I'm a fan. read more

Excellent food, seasoned perfectly. You can count on the quality always being excellent.

What a gem! I got lunch here- one of the to go options in the fridge. I would have gotten the hot but I was newly pregnant and the hot ones they were offering didn't sound appealing (though no fault of them- pregnant people are terrible judges of food.) However, once I started eating my soup, It was delicious and nutritious. I will definitely be back! read more

I love this place!! The soup is so flavorful and I've never had one that I didn't like! I do have my favorites and sometimes it's a bummer when you go and they don't have it that day. However, I'm able to find something else that catches my eye. read more

I just realized that my review is now 8 years old. I'm happy to report that The Soup Girl is still going strong and still delicious. Just go there. read more

Love it...absolutely love it!!! My new place to go for soup. Great flavors and portions are worth every penny!!! read more

The Soup Girl always has a great selection of hot and cold soups. The hot soups are serve yourself, so grab a cup, fill it to the brim, cap it, pay and go. It's as simple as that. If you don't find a soup in the warmers, head over to the refrigerator. There are usually 4 or more different soups to choose from. There is usually a vegetarian and gluten free offering. I would love to see a Keto option, but have not seen one yet...maybe one day. Dessert? They have that covered too! Cookies and goodies in the refrigerator are sure to cure that sweet tooth. Be sure to pick up a punch card, because you'll be coming back and there's nothing better than free soup! read more

Still a great spot! Love charming neighborhood places. You can sample the hot soups available or grab one that's in the refrigerated section along with other selections such as peanut soba noodles or dessert items. The cupcakes are gone as the baker has moved on but they now have ice cream in the afternoon - check the schedule. Nice fresh baked desserts available too. read more

Just fabulous - fresh & homemade and so many choices! Haven't eaten one I dislike yet!

I have been coming to this place for a few years now. The soups are amazing and they have options for everyone, meat eaters, vegetarian and vegan, they are listed on the soup. I recommend checking their site or Facebook for the soups before visiting if you have dietary restrictions, are a picky eater or want a particular soup as it changes daily. Service has always been great and soup always good. read more

Great soup many different choices. If your on a diet or have food allergies you can always find some delicious soup

I only have one word:. Yum!!!! Best tomato bisque soup. Good job! Warm in my tummy! And gave me a warm hug.Feels like Home!! Thank you. read more

Really delicious especially in the winter. Highly recommend! Fairly priced as well. Easy and fresh.

Excellent lunch spot! The soups are always fresh and tasty; I've loved every flavor I've tried so far. They're also always packed with stuff, no overly brothy soups here. They have four hot soups daily, and then a ton of flavors in the fridge to take home. I usually go and get a hot soup for lunch that day and then grab one or two to eat for lunch at home the next day(s). Hot soup comes with bread or crackers (bread for the win) and the cold come with crackers. Some favorites - the sausage, cabbage and potato and the scallop bacon corn chowder. They always seem to have a lot of vegetarian and vegan options. They also have a small section with baked goods. I've only ever tried the magic bars, but they tasted exactly the same as the ones from my childhood and satisfied that particular craving perfectly. The staff is great and always super friendly! They also have punch cards for free soup. read more

The soups were not what I expected. I love soup and of the ones I ordered there was not enough pizzazz for my liking.

I don't do many reviews but this restaurant deserves one! Especially amidst the chaos of COVID the restaurant was clean, organized, aesthetically pleasing, the STAFF is so friendly! And on top of all of that, the soup is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Fresh, flavorful, packed with protein and filled to the brim so that you can savor every drop. At $4 a cup and $6 a bowl this place can't be beat! I personally had the paella, the broth was flavorful and full of chorizo, shrimp, chicken peas and rice & I wouldn't have it any other way! read more

Awesome tasty soups... some even delicious cold! Great vegetarian selections. A lot of selections

I visited the Soup Girl's stand at the Wooster Square Farmer's Market last Sat. I'd seen their stand there the previous Sat.; however, at the time of my visit (around 12:30), they'd sold out of all of their soup except the beet stew. Last weekend, I made sure to get to the farmer's market earlier (at 10:30) so I could check out the full selection of offerings. At the time of my second visit, the Soup Girl had 5-6 different types of soup. All of them sounded good, so I asked the woman at the stand what was popular. She told me all of their soups sell well, and asked me if I had any dietary restrictions. I told her I don't, except for beef, so she recommended the lemon chicken orzo. She offered me samples of two of the available soups, and I tried the African sweet potato and peanut. While its flavors were interesting and complex, it wasn't quite what I was looking for, so I opted for the lemon chicken orzo and the watermelon gazpacho. These soups normally run $6 each, but I took advantage of the farmer's market two for $10 special. I ate the gazpacho on Mon. and the orzo yesterday, and both were quite satisfying, albeit in different ways. The gazpacho made for a great Fourth of July lunch--it was cool and refreshing with a slight kick of spiciness from red pepper. It was improved by the addition of a piece of toasted sourdough bread, which I dipped in it, adding a welcome savory note to complement the soup's sweetness and spiciness. The orzo was quite lemony, with rice-shaped pasta and finely shredded chicken adding body and protein. Despite the summer weather, I ate this soup hot with oyster crackers. It was hearty and filling, and would make an comforting meal during the cold late fall and winter months. Overall, I enjoyed the Soup Girl's soups. They were quite different, and each was enjoyable in its own way. While the price point is a bit high to justify becoming a weekly customer, I'm certain I'll be back again soon when I'm in the mood for some more quality soup! 4.5 stars. read more

Cool cucumber dill, earthy African Peanut, bold beet bisque - these are the flavors at The Soup Girl. But seriously, they have lots more flavors - I'm just partial to these three. The best part, however, is that The Soup Girl visits the New Haven Farmer's Market operated by CitySeed. Because my office is on the Green, I try and get soup every week. You should too, you will enjoy it. read more
