To warm you up on a cold winter’s day, Johnny’s Italian Steakhouse (4751 Owen Ayres Court, Eau Claire) has a smooth and classic French Onion Soup that will leave you wanting more. Tied for second place with the same classic soup flavor is the Chicken Dumpling Soup from Altoona Family Restaurant (2000 N. Hillcrest Parkway, Altoona) and Randy’s Family Restaurant (1132 W. MacArthur Ave., Eau Claire) – you’ll have to try them both to find your favorite! And with a unique soup that you won’t find just anywhere, Acoustic Cafe (102 Main St. W, Menomonie) has a mouthwatering Roasted Red Pepper and Smoked Gouda Soup featuring a flavor combination that pairs perfectly with a hot hoagie. –Briana Novacek
