    The Roasted Poblano Soup at Los Toreros with its hints of garlic, onion and butter is the perfect amount of heat and flavor spoonful after spoonful.

    Soup at Valiant the Sandwich

    477 Court St NE, Salem, Oregon 97301
    Website

    Yes, it’s a sandwich shop, but the soup — the soup! Only one offering, but nothing more is needed with their amplified Tomato and Roasted Red Pepper soup, which brings together a rich balanced flavor with the perfect texture (not too smooth) for true comfort in a cup.

    Soup at Venti's Cafe

    Carlee Wright

    325 Court St NE, Salem, Oregon 97301
    Website

    Venti’s regular menu features two soups: Tomato and Beer Cheese. While both satisfy a craving, the Tomato Basil Soup stands out. Unlike many tomato soups, this one is made with oat milk giving it a slightly sweet taste, and small bits of tomato give it texture and body. Plus, it’s vegan and gluten-free.

    Chow down at two locations. Venti’s Cafe, 2840 Commercial St SE and 325 Court St NE

    Soup at Wild Pear

    Carlee Wright

    372 State Street, Salem, Oregon 97302

    When you say Wild Pear, one of the first things that come to mind for many is soup (or their Guinness Chocolate Cake, but that’s a whole ‘nother story). Serving three options at all times, you cannot go wrong with any of them. Go for their seasonal standard or one of the rotating flavors, which generally includes a vegetarian option.

    Indulge at Wild Pear, 372 State St
