The Best Soup in Toronto

The best soup in Toronto takes the tried-and-true staple into heavenly territory. Too often painfully mediocre, these soups are instead lively, flavour-packed and soothing, with tonic power far beyond their humble origins.

Here is the best soup in Toronto.

Souperlicious Etobicoke

With locations in North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, and more, diners are rarely far from the comforts offered at this soup-focused chain. On the Caribbean menu, warming, nourishing bowls range from goat head soup to pepper pot with beef.

There's no easier way to get your veggies than with a cup or bowl of soup at this North York spot. Made fresh daily, the line-up always includes green split pea and beet borscht, with barley bean, potato and others joining in throughout the week.

Nobody's expecting you to forgo the schnitzel and pierogies at this veteran Roncesvalles Village spot. For the complete experience, just preface them with one of the kitchen's homestyle, house-made soups, from beet root with dumplings to fortifying beef tripe.

Wonton Hut on Queen

Wonton Hut on Queen

Packed with noodles and plump, one-bite dumplings, wonton soup at this restaurant on Queen West and in Markham is a reliable favourite. The team also serves fiery bun bo tuan and bun rieu, with fragrant tomato broth and a surfeit of crab.


Soul Provisions

This quaint Oakwood Village spot serves popsicles in summer, soup in winter, and community pride all year long. Home-made from a bounty of fresh ingredients, a rotating list of vegan and meat-based soups includes mulligatawny, sweet potato ginger and Thai coconut curry.


Janchenko Bakery

Janchenko Bakery

A collection of sweet and savoury European comfort foods call to passersby at this Bloor West Village bakery and restaurant. Whether you dine in or hustle home with a jar of kapusniak, one of chicken noodle soup and a weighty bag of ponchiki, you'll delight at the outcome.

Soup Nutsy

Soup Nutsy

Despite the backstory, everyone is welcome to sample the wholesome, gourmet soups on offer at this chain with locations in the Financial and Entertainment districts. Faced with a multitude of options — from creamy chicken corn chowder to West African peanut chicken — boredom is always averted.


RaviSoups on Adelaide

RaviSoups on Adelaide

Since 2007, this local spot in the Entertainment District has wowed anyone suffering from soup tedium with bold concoctions that are richly flavoured and strikingly unique. Join the multitude of fans with an order of curried apricot and red lentil, blue crab corn chowder or velvety porcini mushroom wild rice bisque.

Hastings Snack Bar

Hastings Snack Bar

Leslieville's cutest lunch counter, this spot deals in traditional Polish fare. Family recipes for red borscht with dumplings, pickle and mushroom noodle soups are as stellar as the ones the team relies on for its popular schnitzel, pierogies, cabbage rolls, and more.
