My first review and I had to second the previous Clam Chower review. I am a huge clam chowder fan and will eat it almost any way--thick, thin, etc. This soup did not taste like clams (not even a hint) and bits of clam were scarce. At first I thought it was the wrong soup until I dug to the bottom of the veggies and found a few meager clam pieces. The veggies (and yes, there were green peppers) were enormous! I had 1/ 2 a green pepper and onion in one large soup. One piece of Ginormous potato, an abundance of huge carrots (not all peeled) and celery (not cooked through). More of a veggie mix with cream soup on top. I would highly recommend skipping this soup,. Sorry SoHo Made Soups, breaks my heart.

They put peppers in their New England Clam Chowder, and it's so unappetizing. It's not peppers as garnish either - 1/3 of the volume of my soup was just peppers. You can't go wrong with the traditional clams, potatoes, and onions, but the fact that these guys messed around with a great recipie tells me they have no idea what they're doing with their soups. For a place with soup in their name that's incredibly disappointing. My mixed greens are also browning and warm to the touch, gross. The bread is so stale too. Even if it's complimentary bread it should still be edible. I used to eat here about once a week, but have gotten out of the habit in the last six months, and now I remember exactly why. Their lentils are always undercooked, their chicken noodle soup is always just noodles in water, not broth, and they put peppers in their freaking clam chowder. Their sandwhiches are always soggy, and their salad greens more often then not aren't really green. My biggest complaint about this place though is the soup menu. They list 38 different soups on printed and web menus, but when you walk in on any given day only 7 or 8 of those soups are actually being made then. There's no predicting what soups you're gonna have to choose from that day, and they never serves their best s0ups on a regular basis. (I only see their sweet potato soup available once every two or three months. I could eat that stuff every day though.) Bottom line, when you eat here you're paying bloated prices for subpar food. I can make much better soup at home for about half the price. Save yourself the headache and walk across the street to Just Delicious for lunch instead. Their hot food selection is predictable and delicious.

Our office orders from here almost daily. The food is fresh and tasty. Typical deli selections, but better than average. I've never actually been to the place, only ordered delivery. But the woman that takes delivery orders is very friendly. The delivery guys I've always found to be nice and prompt. I don't get the negative reviews here - we love this place!

It's a cheap deli with overpriced food, served by resentful people. I don't know if they get my order priced right, because half the items have no prices listed. It's close to my job, and I still only eat there once a month. Prepare for them to paw through your sandwich to make sure it's yours. Apparently, writing on the wrapping never occurred to them.

It seems after reading all the reviews from the previous raters, the food seemed much better before they moved down Varick by Canal. I can only comment on their food and service at the new location. The food is overpriced and sits out in the open where bugs fly around. I would rather go out of my way and walk 3 to 4 blocks down Varick away from Canal to eat at Subways. Although there is limited choices to be made there, the staff are much friendlier and the prices are appropriate for what you pay for. I would only go to Soho Soups if I had to grab a quick lunch to bring back to the office.

This restuarant is an okay spot to get a quick lunch to bring back to the office if you work in the area. The food is average, there is usually one person that takes the orders and serves the guests and he is also the the cashier. I think the food is overpriced. The staff are not very friendly and when I point to the soup and ask what type it is, the server mumbles a name that is incomprehensible. Asking him to repeat himself, he only mumbles the same words under his breathe with annoyance.

Their food was much better when they were at Varick & Spring Street. Now at 75 Varick sometimes the food tastes old and stale. The guy with the ponytail is extremely rude, and a lot of the staff look confused when you place an order.
