Went here after the Secret City 5k race, and it was a cold morning out there. So a hot bowl of soup really hit the spot! The chili is a mainstay, always good, but they usually have 7 or 8 others to pick from that rotate all the time. I had the Italian, which is a soup version of pasta with italian sausage. Another favorite if the mexican cornbread, if you're like me and prefer a little spice.

I do have a non-soup eater in my family, so luckily they have great sandwiches, as well and grilled cheese and hot dog options for the kids if needed.

Come have a bowl of soup, but while you're there also take some time to look at the walls full of great history of our area.

It's a cozy place, served by outstanding people, where you can have an excellent soup for a really good price.

Don't be confused by the title, this place is about more than "soup," but obviously, the soups are delicious! The bread, the desserts and the atmosphere make this a great place to eat in Oak Ridge. My only complaint (and it's more of a personal preference) is that at lunchtime the place is so busy and the lines get long, that I feel almost like I'm in line for the "soup Nazi" from Seinfeld. The staff is not like that at all, but it's hard to make the choices when people are waiting impatiently behind you. Also, I really would love a larger bowl. What you get is never quite enough...

The Soup Kitchen always has a very good selection of soups, stews, and chilis, and offers a daily special during the week. Their breads are AMAZING, especially the Mexican cornbread! Desserts are plentiful and good, as well. A particular favorite is snow crab soup, which is usually the Wednesday special. It's rich, flavorful, and hearty. Great on a cool day!

This place is awesome. Soup, sandwiches, salads! I think most of us had soup, but it was delicious! They were so nice - not easy having 49 people in line for lunch. There were several soups offered - all home made! The bread offerings were fantastic - cornbread, Jalapeno cornbread, brown bread, cheese bread. Excellent place to eat!!!
