Soup Nutsy

This is a great place for soup for lunch. Large chunks and rich broth in each. My favourites: miracle vegetable soup, chicken chili, Jamaican crab bisque. Comes with a choice of two sides, and I usually pick a slice of brown bread and a piece of fruit.
The line up can be long but it moves fast!

Soup Nutsy is a close-​to-​work and hearty lunch option for me in the winter time. I don’t get it too often because the soup here is ridiculously expensive. The soups I order normally range between $ 8 – 10 for a small soup with two sides. I could really do without the two sides in return for a lower price, but this is the system you have live with. Onto the soup itself, I have absolutely no complaints! The heavier cream-​based soups are rich, delicious, and above all, flavoured perfectly. The downside is that the soups are loaded with cream and butter, which may be of concern to those watching their waistlines.
The following are the soups I gravitate toward, in no particular order:
1. Jamaican Crab Bisque
2. Creole Shrimp & Tomato Bisque
3. Butternut Squash w/​Roasted Apples
4. Sherried Lobster Bisque
5. Cajun Seafood Gumbo
Tip: keep the Soup Nutsy paper bag and reuse it to store your next soup for 25 cents off the purchase. Also, remember to get a Soup Nutsy card at the cash to register each soup purchase and you will get the tenth soup for free (averages out to a dollar saving per soup purchased).

Good for a treat when you’re going to a food court and want something a bit more indulgent than a run-​of-​the-​mill burger or general tao chicken. Their soups are generally very tasty, but also very pricy. Seafood soups, in particular, tend to be very creamy, rich and pleasing to the taste buds. But my two overall favorites are the Senegalese peanut chicken and the beef stroganoff.
Public service announcement: if you’re a person who likes mac n’ cheese, don’t buy theirs– it’s gross. There’s too much liquidy cheese relative to the amount of pasta and it’s served way too hot.

Decent soups, lots of variety. My only issue is that they use cream heavily in all their soups. Walk a little further and grab ravi soups instead! Soup nutsy comes with variety of breads, which is nice as well.
Repeated several times, but the use of cream can be a turn off.

This place was awful. I ordered some sort of a turkey apple soup. What I received was a heated glop of heavily-​salted starch, heavy cream and butter, with meagre pieces of highly processed turkey meat. The amount of fat that must have been in that thing was incredible. My girlfriend took it home to save it for another time, and it turned completely solid after having been refrigerated.
Anyone who wants to go here for a lighter lunch: don’t be fooled. I would rather eat a Big Mac than stomach one of these soups again.

I like the Soup Nutsy but holy moly, they are expensive. $ 10 for a cup of soup? Nuts! (pun intended) The price is defintiely a key reason in why I rarely go, even though their location is very convenient to me.
My favourites are:
*sherried lobster bisque (rotational item) — not as good as Lobster Royale, but it’s still delicious with the sherry laced through it… however, they’ve recently added nutritional information to their website and HOLY MOLY it’s high calorie; definitely more of an occasional treat
*Jamaican crab bisque (daily item) — it’s spicy and creamy but still light-​tasting, with shreds of crab meat and pieces of celery everywhere; also not too high calorie
*sherried beef stroganoff — tasty but kinda thick and gloopy if you let it cool; this one is also super high calorie
Honorable mentions:
*they do a solid chicken noodle soup here
*the cajun gumbos are good — I prefer seafood over chicken
*the chili is also decent but I prefer the one I make at home
By the way, if you use the points card, you earn a free meal after buying 10, I think — but you have to pay full price and can’t take advantage of the after 3pm deal (buy a meal and get a second meal for $ 2 for meats/​veggies or $ 3 for seafood.)
ETA: Looks like the 3pm deal has changed to $ 3 for meat soups and $ 4 for seafood. Am taking this down a star!

Yum! Another soup option close to work. Soup Nutsy is located in the PATH below Metro Hall. Just follow the signs to 200 Wellington. The line was fairly long and there were lots of specials listed on their board, all of which sounded good. I decided to go with the large Jamaican Crab Bisque. The soup comes with 2 sides, displayed in front of the soups, which include large slices of bread, a small bread roll, oranges, apples, bananas, and carrot and celery sticks. I decided to go with a large piece of bread and an orange. Overall, I was able to get in and out of Soup Nutsy quickly. There are tons of people serving soup and 3 cashiers.
The soup was really good — a bit spicy, not too salty, and good chunks of crab. It goes really well with the bread. I’m a fan. The orange was a good end to a terrific lunch. The large soup was a little too much. I was really full after eating it all.
Apparently you can get 25c back if you re-​use the bag on your subsequent visits.

I’ve tried the creole shrimp bisque (which was really good) and the cream of shiitake mushroom (this was good but not great)
I love the concept but felt it was overpriced. Nonetheless, I’ll probably be back because if their veggie options but only when they offer discounts before closing.

Soup is okay — nothing to write home about.
Lunch queue/lineup’s are huge with the Bay Street crowd.
For what it is — it is on the pricy side -(sure they give you a piece of fruit choice of an apple or a banana, and a bread choice) but around $ 6 for a soup that doesn’t taste nor look home-​made is a little pricy.
I have purchased here a few times (as there isn’t really anywhere in the PATH concourse area around my office that has good soups) — and each time has been mediocre (not good/​not bad — just so so)

I looooove soup and it seemed like the perfect meal on a cold cloudy fall day. I arrived at the location after 3pm and it turns that its buy one get one free for any soup. So I ordered the large lobster bisque and new england clam chowder. The lobster bisque was very creamy but had no lobster flavor. It was very thick with large chunks of potatoe and some lobster but there was no lobster flavor whatsoever as it was lost in the sea of cream and potatoes. There were onions, green peppers, and a bay leaf is all that I could make out. It was very filling but not exactly tasty or flavorful, which was a great disappointment considering the premium price.
I paid $ 14.46 for two large soups and 4 sides (apple, orange, panini loaf, or carrots/​celery sticks) which included a discount of $ 7.98. I have yet to taste the new england clam chowder — hopefully its better than the lobster bisque. The other soups looked tasty so perhaps I should have picked something else.
I got 4 fruits so it lessened the disappointment. I think I would go for a medium or small next time, if i ever get around to going back.

Soup Nutsy is amazing BUT on the pricey side. Definitely a rainy day treat. My go to soup is the Jamaican crab bisque. It’s a bit on the salty side, but it has some kick to it, has a lot of goodies inside, and is amazing when you dip bread into it. Every time I choose a different soup, I always wish I got the crab bisque — not because the soup was disappointing, I just love the bisque that much more! If you love soup, this place is for you!
Don’t forget that with every soup purchase you get 2 sides — bread, veggies or fruit. They’re not always great at reminding you, and I’ve heard of some new customers not even realizing you get sides included and walk off without it. I usually get 2 pieces of bread — #ilovecarbs
This location is in the food court at Metro Hall. The line can get pretty massive during the lunch rush, but SN is pretty good at keeping the line moving, so you’re not waiting for long.
«mmmm soup… I mean noodle soup… I mean soup!» — Joey Tribbiani

OOOHiiigawdditsAliveee! — Is what you will be saying once you have had a spoon.
Soup Nutsy offers an array of gourmet soup choices that tickle your papillae buds. The combinations are wild and really not conventional — which makes it ever more fantastical! It really puts a spin on the ‘soup’ experience.
The staff is really cordial towards allergies etc. This is my 4^th visit and no visit has the same experience. This location is only open for lunch until 5pm Monday to Friday. Not open on weekends or evenings.
They always have staple soups along with featured soups as specials and during lunch time, expect a lineup. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. A combo is a soup and 2 sides. A side of fruit and or veggies or bread.
I have become so addicted to this place it’s ridiculous. Now I get what all the Sienfield Soup Nazy fuss is about When you find good soup, it’s hard to let go.
fun fact: After 3pm you can purchase a second cup of soup for $ 2.00. Considering the price is $ 8.98 (large). It’s a sweet deal.
My favourites :
Russet Potato & Leek Chowder — This creamy deliciousness has a lovely aroma and a very erotic mix for a Vegetarian option. With the same yummyness of potato flavor in a rich cream sauce, you will never be able to have just fries again without craving this. I added some lemon and it blended really nicely. Normally I don’t prefer leek in any dish but I can barely taste anything other than the potatoes so this ones a win to me. ^_​^
Butternut Squash w/​Turkey & Walnuts — YUMM. This is just a heaven sent meal on it’s own. The luxurious sweetness of butternut squash broth partnered with chunks of roasted turkey is just a world of flavour. Just when you are about to get used to all the soft bites, you get a crunchy surprise. It has walnuts mixed into the rich base. This soup is one of my absolute favorites. It’s hearty and the large will last you for another 2 servings.
Tomato Roasted red pepper fusion — Think rose sauce but with much MUCH more flavour. I really like this soup and unfortunately they don’t offer it as much. So, if you do happen to be here and see this one on the menu — order it! You will not regret it. This soup is the perfect blend of tomato that everyone loves in a standard pasta — except with more richness and soul. There’s tiny dices of red pepper that melt with the creamy broth. I can never get enough of this flavour and often use it to mix with any other dish i. e pasta, chicken, dipping veggie sticks etc. It’s a really great oomph to a regular tomato soup.
Avocado & Cucumber Soup — This isn’t my favourite but I should point out that he combination is really impressive. It’s a cold soup and that is usually a no for me. I prefer to use it as a yogurt type of dish over chicken: p
The combination crushed English cucumbers and avocado with the right amount of spices and a hint of cilantro blended in a rich cream is a unique option for summer. I should warn you that it is quite heavy in base and a small was more than enough for me.
if ever there was a time where you could be spontaneous and worry free — at the same time– it would be here. Seriously, close your eyes and pick any soups (with restrictions to your dieter needs and such) and you will not be sorry.
Soup it up folks!
