5 Best Soup Places in Wisconsin!

So many options to consider! Tomato, cheddar broccoli, seafood chowders, potato bacon, even chili! The best part about going out to eat is asking the server what the soup of the day is and being excited about the answer no matter what is on offer. Soup just warms up the heart and soul, no matter the time of year. Dip in some crackers or warm bread…is your mouth watering yet? Here are the 5 best places for soup in Wisconsin! 

Houghton’s, La Crosse, WI

There’s a big reason to visit Houghton’s in La Crosse—their chicken dumpling soup is to die for. Order the soup and salad bar for an affordable price and eat as many dumplings as your stomach can hold. They are the perfect consistency and taste like heaven in your mouth.

The Soup Market, Milwaukee, WI

With five locations throughout Milwaukee, the Soup Market caters to all areas of the city. Check their website to see the “Soup Forecast” or what soups are on the daily menus for each location. The Market sells soup through catering, farmers’ markets, wholesale, and of course individually.

Dotty Dumpling’s Dowry, Madison, WI

Dotty’s website sports a long list of awards and mentions the restaurant has received. Having served the Madison area for more than 40 years, Dotty’s has their soup recipes down pat. Enjoy a cup or bowl of the award-winning spicy hot chili, the classic jambalaya, or the soup du jour. Don’t forget to order some homemade corn bread for dipping.

Pickerman’s, La Crosse, WI

Daily soups are offered with hearth bread or asiago cheese bread. Then there’s the chili and chowder options as well to consider. Listed on their website, Pickerman’s offers broccoli cheddar, Wisconsin beer cheese, cream of chicken with wild rice, Sante Fe tortilla, vegetable beef barley, and—can you believe it—more.

The Coffee Grounds, Eau Claire, WI

While the Coffee Grounds primarily serves soup during their catering operations, it may be worth your while to cater a party or get-together with The Coffee Grounds. The flavors they have available are tomato bisque, beet ginger coconut milk, chili, Thai carrot peanut, and tomatillo chicken. Our taste buds are already tingling.
