Reviews of Original Soupman
Yeah, the soup is good
Soup is awesome, but portion is way too small for what they charge. And I always find the waiters not nice to the customers. I guess they are just trying to imitate the famous TV show???

I work in the neighborhood and have come to rely on soup from the Soup Man on a regular basis. No doubt, the lobster bisque will knock your socks off, but you'd be cheating yourself if you didn't try some of the other options, specifically the sausage gumbo and the veal ghoulash really lit my fire. Your soup plus the piece of baguette, chocolate, and fruit make a full meal. I get it as often as possible.

I used to travel great distances to get the Seafood/Shrimp/Lobster Bisque at the original "International Soup Kitchen" on West 55th. And I'm happy for Al the soup guy with this whole franchise thing. But the quality is nowhere near what it was. Recently had the Shrimp Bisque at one of these satellites and it tasted mass produced, cut with too much cream, not as many chunks, and what chunks it had didn't taste as fresh. Maybe that's the cost of lowering the prices. The same meal at the main shop would've cost about $4 more. Out of loyalty, I'll go back and try other things in hopes of capturing that greatness again.
