Like newborn babies, soups must be cradled and spoon-fed until they're ready to take the bowl by the horns and win the spelling bee using alphabet noodles. Slurp smartly with today's Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of homemade soups, stews, and more at The Stew Pot Kitchen.

Using seasonal ingredients supplied by the owner's vegetable garden and local farmers' markets, The Stew Pot spoons out fresh, succulent, and sustainable fare. The eatery keeps bills and eco-footprints low with a simple spread of veggie-laden soups and stews (small, $2.50; large, $3.50) lovingly ladled into compostable cups and bowls. Bring in your beef-loving bestie for a dip of The Stew Pot's spicy beef-and-bean chili, barraged with a bevy of ground protein, beans, hot italian sausage, and chili seasonings. Becca's vegetarian-loaded baked-potato soup offers produce-prone patrons a symphony of stewed roots for slurping or softening stiff-soled slippers. For added edible oomph, enshrine a seasonal stew or soup—such as ham and bean, gumbo, or cream of chicken—in a fresh-baked country-sourdough bread bowl ($5), or pair spoonable fare with a chili dog, sandwich, or salad.

• I have only had the pleasure of trying a couple different soups, but certainly plan to taste more in the future. The small restaurant always has over four soups available per day, and the menu constantly changes. – Tara Dawn, Associated Content
• It’s a very satisfying place to go to and I can’t wait to warm up in the winter here. – CJ’s Real Deal on Meals
