In A Rush

My favourite place for hearty soup during winter. In a Rush serves up your choice of 6 – 7 soups with crusty bread and a side salad for under $ 12. The servings are so generous and the salads range from cuscous, pasta, brown rice, pumpkin & feta etc, so never boring. You may come and go in a rush but you will definitely leave feeling satisfied. This place is a winner.

In A Rush is for well… those ‘In A Rush’. I could picture myself running late for a meeting and skipped breakfast, dying of hunger but no time… Oh wait, that was the other week. In A Rush caught my eye because of the name and the take-​away capability of the food.
You can grab one of their famous soups, breakfast, zatars, sanwiches, and salads from this tiny boutique café.
The soups are TD4 (To Die For), i have had the Pumpkin, Veggie & Lentil, and the Mushroom & Thyme (Favourite), and each one was incredibly flavoursome and tasty.
The coffee’s ain’t half bad either.

The effort involved in making a soup can be that full on at times. Sourcing the ingredients; chopping them up (in tandem with smelling like garlic in some cases, and those onion tears) and cooking; getting the stock together and working your skills with a hand blender can be all too much at times; and yes within good reason. So why bother?
You would not when you come across In a Rush at Melbourne’s QV Centre on Lonsdale Street in the City for some high quality, freshly made soup. Even if you find soup a bit boring and too overrated and passé; a liquid lunch (or dinner, their soups are so filling) at this establishment is an awesome idea.
The choice of soups are sensational; pumpkin and leek, and also minestrone at its best; plus you get to help yourself from these amazing soup dispensers at the front of the café; and if your lucky a bread roll comes with the total package. You will know what I mean by a soup revolution if you decide to give this establishment a chance. You feel a sense of accomplishment dispensing your own soup; like you have made it from scratch. Soup leverage is a beautiful concept sometimes.
