darn good soup lives up to its name

One of my favorite places to eat in Bloomington over the past eight weeks has been Darn Good Soup. Perhaps its the Slav in me, but I can eat soup pretty much any time, anywhere.  Thus, any restaurant with 10-12 different soups available daily gets an A in my book.

I knew I would have issues deciding before
I even walked in!
Previously I've tried DGS's Chicken Tortilla and Broccoli Cheddar, and while today I was in the mood for something less thick, I still ordered the Twice Baked Potato. The chef (Nels Boerner, who is such a nice guy!) told me it had a little pepper jack cheese in it, which gave it a delightful kick, even though I'm not usually a huge fan of spice.  I appreciated the chunks of bacon and potato surprising me every so often as well. I love that DGS gives everyone a free piece of delicious bread; multigrain goodness to soak up my cheesy-potatoey perfection.

Soup is deceptively hard to photograph.
What I love most about Darn Good Soup is that you get a full, delicious meal for so cheap! Soup, bread, and my drink only cost me $6.69! Cheaper than homemade soup impostors like Panera or Cosi, not to mention a million times more tasty.

Arthur enjoyed his West African Chicken Peanut.
Other soups we sampled included Beef Bourgignon and
Butternut Squash. All perfecto!
