Bowl of Soup.
It should be crisp and clear but this English weather that has one eager for a scotch at day’s end. And in between – that warm scotch and a warm home – a bowl of soup.
When I was little, and I fell ill, my grandmother would come running from Queens with her homemade chicken soup. I’ve never had one better – and I don’t have any at all now because even though I do think there is something restorative about that Jewish chicken soup, I’m not willing to sacrifice a chicken to make it. But I am looking for a well-made, home-made, bowl of soup.
And here is where I recommend finding yours:
Katz Delicatessen for traditional Jewish soups
205 E Houston Street at Ludlow
Morimoto for miso andnoodle soups
88 10th Avenue, 15th & 16th Streets
KAI for miso soup and excellent sushi
822 Madison Ave, 68th & 69th Streets
Centolire for seasonal vegetarian soups.
1167 Madison Avenue at 85th Street
