The Soup Cup - Traverse City

I love this place! Great food and great owners. The frits are a good addition to the amazing soups.

We ate a MicroSouperie at The Soup Cup on Wednesday, and we were not disappointed. I had the cattle barley, W had the chicken noodle, and we shared the fries. The beef barley I had with this microsoup brought memories of the beef barley soup with my grandparents who swept back. The soup tasted like at home <3 The frits are also homemade; we have not eaten frits in a long time, but this will be the only exception to our not fry zone. You were so good! From their 20-odd homemade dips I had the Utah and W the cherry cats; both were delicious and there was enough dip to keep each of us through our share of pommes. We came too late to the soup cup so that the hunter soup was sold out - which speaks to its popularity as they make these soups in the gallons. Every soup is homemade and made fresh every day. We did not try the grilled cheese sandwiches during this visit (I cannot have milk, but William will make a next visit: We'll be back... I can't think of a better place to go for a good soup on a cold northern Michigan winter 's day. The shop was easy to park; the place seemed good, and the experience was through the short introduction that our counter server gave us their soups. The cafeteria-style dining area was clean, and spices/drinks/ec were well equipped and neat. The staff of the waiting were attentive and friendly. This restaurant deserves a lot of 5 out of 5 stars.

I have Celiac disease, and this place has excellent gluten free options. They have different soups everyday, but always have gluten free soups, and their fries are in a dedicated fryer. For $12 you can get some soup, a drink, and massive pile of fries. That's a meal, right there. I only wish they had better hours.

Black eyes pea soup with hot fries! Wow! Hit the spot! I tried curry ketchup. Just the right blend! Also the Utah fry sauce! It brought back the memories of 20 years living in Utah where everyone who knew anything ate “fry saice”. Thanks for the delightful meal and the yummy fresh slice of bread for dunking.

They make all their soups fresh every day, from scratch! With 8 soups to choose from, you can sample as many as you want before making your selection. And their grilled cheese sammies fries are yummy too! Love this place!
