The seafood soup at Club Grotto has a saffron-scented tomato broth that bathes whatever fresh fish and shellfish of the day are added. Here's an almost boundless category that certainly encompasses delicious bowls that reflect much more creativity than the standard canned vegetable beef of American childhood. Anthony Lamas at Baxter Station Bar and Grill usually offers a soup of the day, often with a Latin accent. The signature soup at Jack Fry's is tomato artichoke soup. Laced with a hint of fresh basil, this is a surprisingly satisfying bowl.
Tomatoes also provide the basis for a silky soup at The Cafe at the Louisville Antique Mall.
Tomato dill soup is made with heavy cream in which diced tomatoes, onions and celery are suspended. Club Grotto's corn bisque doesn't appear on the menu often enough. The combination of creamy base and crunchy corn is wonderful. The City Cafe, which varies its soups from day to day, often has a rich spinach Parmesan soup that seems to concentrate a whole bowl of flavor into each spoonful.
