When I’m With You, Every Day Feels Like Double Soup Tuesday

Yesterday was Boston’s famed Soupfest in the Newbury Arcade of the Prudential Mall. Soupfest is an annual event, where local eateries set up stations where you can taste test samples of their soup. Even though I’ve worked in this building for over 2 years, this was my first time attending. It was nothing short of magical. There were so many soups to test, most of which were my favorite varieties.

I think that it is safe to say that I consumed roughly a quart of clam chowder. I also can now safely say that Boston Chowda House has a clam chowder that is vastly superior to Legal Seafood’s. I have tried to compare the two in the past unsuccessfully, but once I had them back to back there was no contest.

Many stations also featured Mexican tortilla soups, which is my absolute favorite. I especially love when soups have tortilla strips on top. Sometimes when I’m at home, I have a bowl of Campbell’s Chunky Chicken Fajita Soup and mix it with crushed Tostitos. In fact I think I just decided what I’m having for dinner tonight.

Well, for one, that white, late model Audi certainly tells me we're not looking at a photo of the Pru from 1982 :)
