Souped Up: Globe Market
Following a recommendation from Buffalo Rising readers, I went to Globe Market on Elmwood Avenue to get some soup. First I want to mention the friendliness of the workers. Walking toward the entrance I said "hi" to an employee who was outside taking a break. Seeing my New York Yankees hat, he started chatting with me about the upcoming playoff series against the Minnesota Twins (we shared our concerns about the Yankees pitching depth, but agreed the Yankees will fare well in the series). The gentleman opened the door for my son and me and he headed into the kitchen.

I glanced at the soup offerings for the day and the words Chicken Vindaloo jumped out at me. Being unfamiliar with the soup, I asked the young woman at the counter to describe it to me. All I needed to hear was "Indian food," "curry," and "sweet and spicy." As you can see in the picture, there are peas and tomatoes to accompany the shredded chicken.

Souped Up!
With some cool weather upon us, soup is on my mind. Pretty soon, I'll be eating my fair share of grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. I know I can always find good soup at Joe's Deli, but I'm looking to try out some new places. Where is your favorite place to get soup? I'll follow up on recommendations and report back as I check each suggestion out.

I'm up for anything except Maryland Crab soup. My last bowl of Maryland Crab was at a deli on Long Island in 1997. I'll spare you the details. Aside from that, I'm ready for the best soup Buffalo has to offer. Tell me some of your favorites
