text: Really The Art of Soup has out of stars nnI visited here the other day for lunch with my father and husband The place was super cute Just a few tables that gives you the coziness that accompanies soup The menu was a little difficult to read though as it was scribbled in a greyish chalk that blended with the erase marks from previous days nnAfter deciphering the menu we decided that everything sounded delicious We asked to try the Roasted Butternut Squash before ordering it and were less than thrilled There was absolutely no flavor to it I love making butternut squash at home and dressing it up with spices so I guess I expected a little more It was bland and grainy PassnnThe hubby decided he was not hungry so just my father and I ordered soup I decided on a cup of Cannelini with Kale and my father went with a bowl of Chicken Rice From here let us just say the only nice thing about the meal was that it was served hot and fast go figure it is a soup restaurant Both of the soups were again bland and absolutely flavorless The kale was chewy and the broth left a godawful aftertaste in my mouth My fathers soup was a little better but still horribly bland We had to salt and pepper it which just made it taste like well salt and pepper Both soups were served with small slices of bread and cold butter that was impossible to spread I enjoyed the bread more than the soup sadly nnWe ate what we could quickly and asked for the check for one cup and bowl of soup with tip included Bummer nnI appreciate the attempt at an all organic soup cafe but I think the soup should be more than stellar if that is all you are marketing Sadly I can make much better soups at home Next time I will pass on The Art of Soup
