BEST SOUP

The Feed Store

300 East Laurel, 528-9629 It sounds like a place where you might pick up food for farm animals. But one taste of The Feed Store’s delicious soups and you’ll definitely conclude that it’s feed fit for a king, or at least a governor. The Feed Store has an arsenal of four broths, seven cream, one seafood and four chilled soups, though the 35-year-old restaurant only whips together six different soups each day. Voters write: “By far the best broccoli and potato soups.” And, “Hooray for Ross and Ann! Nobody does it better.” The Feed Store from 11:30-1:30 is jampacked and noisy, a great place to see your friends. If you’re looking for a quiet lunch, try a late one. The Feed Store is open Monday through Friday from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. Runner-up: Panera Bread
