San Francisco Soup Company

Soup and salads are the ultimate meal for equal-opportunity foodies, because every mouthful circulates mingling flavors to each taste bud without prejudice. Customize your own roughage at the new custom-tossed salad bars at 221 Montgomery Street, 1950 University Avenue at Woodland, Westfield San Francisco Centre food court, 315 California Street, 580 California Street, or 2512 Bancroft Way at Telegraph. Order your choice of organic greens (romaine, mixed, or spinach), and one of the top-notch tossers will twirl in a variety of toppings, meats, and dressings for a truly personalized bite. The more than 40 salad toppings enable diners to pair roasted corn and black beans for a southwestern kick, mingle dried cranberries and blue cheese for several sweet and creamy bites, or just scope out a variety of chefs select salads. Signature soups (from $4.84) include non-dairy, gluten-free, spicy, low-fat, vegetarian, and low-carb choices. Mop up a piping-hot bowl of organic smoky split pea, tomato bisque, or Mexican chicken tortilla soup with a complimentary tear of sourdough bread to ease your stomach through midweek working pains. Soups are served in three sizes, from 12-ounce up to 32-ounce.
