Next up -- cool weather soups

campbell I want to do a Top 10 soups for cool/cold weather.

Help me round up a good selection on area menus. Let's say that the soup has to be on the restaurant's regular menu. So, seasonal menus yes, occasional specials, no.

French onion soup? Oyster stew? Mulligatawny?

Here is a Top 10 soup list from two years ago -- the best places to get great soup. This new list is the same, but different.

Chocolatea in Tuscany/Canterbury has the most divine Malacca Laksa (chicken coconut curry soup) which is a little spicy and very warming!

I know it's a chain, but Au Bon Pain (downtown) has great soups and a wide selection (about 10) daily. I'm partial to their Tomatoe Bisque or Tomato & Cheddar soups.

Shannon's in Ellicott City has the nmost awesome cream of crab soup and their french onion is also very, very good.

If you don't want to go to a restaurant, Wegman's has a hot soup bar. I'm sure they are all good - it's Wegman's after all - but we always get the shrimp bisque.

Coconut soup [with lemongrass, chicken, galanga and magic] from Chokchai Thai in Hamilton. It's a mild coconut soup, with a blend of spices that is so wonderful.

The Cream of Mushroom or Black Bean Soups at Loco Hombre/Alonso's. Say what you will about glitches in the past---these soups and the new attitude will change your mind!

Bon Fresco in Columbia, MD. Two choices of homemade soups everyday. The butternut squash soup is amazing. Get some fresh baked bread or an amazing sandwich to go with it. Delicious!
