If you're staying in Bath, it's well worth it to find your way to Runs With Soup. It's less than a mile from downtown Bath, in what was once a small hospital.
The space is small, but clean as a whistle and pleasant. There is...a rotating--and sometimes mind-boggling--variety of delicious soups, chili, sandwiches, quiche, vegetable and potato salads, mac&cheese and desserts. Some of my favorites are the smoky gouda mac&cheese, maple sweet potato soup with chipotle and bacon (oh yeah, it's as good as it sounds), corn chowder, chicken stew and the cuban sandwich. But that just scratches the surface. Check out their Facebook page if you want to get an idea of what you might find from week to week.
It's a nice enough space to eat in, but taking food home or to where you're staying is fantastic. In addition to hot ready-to-serve food, they also stock soup in containers and to-go portions of some of their other dishes. If I was on my own, I might never cook, but just stock my fridge with food from this place.
You're not going to just stumble across this place, but it's easy to find when you're looking for it, and you should definitely look for it.More
