Best Soup
From warming you up on a bitterly cold day to bringing you comfort when you’re feeling under the weather, the benefits of soup are endless. Voted in first place is the Chicken Dumpling Soup from Randy’s Family Restaurant. Question: Is it socially acceptable to ask for the warm vanilla pudding alongside the soup? Coming in second is the French Onion Soup from Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse — yum! Finally, everyone knows the best time of the year is when the Spanish Stew (a.k.a., heaven in a bowl) returns to Ray’s Place. —Natalie Derks
