Best Soups?

[kgreenbury]

Tired of cooking - looking for recommendations of places around town that make good soups I could just bring home.

Mom's Deli & Puritan Poultry have frozen in the freezer and any restaurant will put soup into a "go" container.

I've had 3 or 4 different soups from La Mesa in Ajijic and they've all been great. Also, Gossip's has an excellent clam chowder.

Hot & Sour soup from Minh Wah is delicious. You can order it to go, by the litre.

Peter (Pedro) of "Go" also makes excellent soups, both hot and cold. He usually has a soup on his menu and you likely could call and take out. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays, I think.

Arileo west of town, used to make great soups. Don't go there any more (other reasons). Gosha makes a very nice soup (middle of Ajijic highway). Cocinart always makes a good soup. La Mision does make a great clam chowder, but it's a bit pricey for lunch. Perry's Pizza made a good chowder, but very tiny portion for the price... someone on this board mentioned that he told Perry there were too many potatos in it, and he apparently fixed that.

Love their soups. They have a great pea soup and bacon, corn chowder, lentil, and navy bean. We usually grab a couple of each flavor, stick them in the freezer.

Pian Thai on Hidalgo ( a block and a half west of the square in Ajijic) has great soups. But they may not freeze well.

I think Panino's split pea soup is excellent.  I also like their cream of asparagus.  I second the recommendation of the hot and sour soup from Min Wah.  I buy and freeze all of these.

I second Panino's!

I know you're looking for ready made soups but this is a close second. I keep some cans of Campbell's brand Poblano and Asparagus soups in my pantry.

In my freezer, I have a bag of strips of Poblano chillies and some corn. If I want soup, I open up a can of Poblano soup and add some chillies and corn.

If I find good fresh asparagus, I cook up small one inch pieces in a little water for a minute or so before adding the asparagus soup.

Wallah! No need to even go out my front door.

Jose Melendrez who has a store at the Plaza in Ajijic sells soups at the Organic Market at La Huerta, W. Ajijic, on Tuesdays from 10-12:30.  Get there at 10 as he often sells out.  His soups are wonderful and creative.

Second the commotion on Mom's Deli soups. SuperLake stocks some in the freezer, but Mom's has a better selection. So, go to Mom's for breakfast on the off day when the parking lot is not packed, and stock up! Memo to Mom's: when I want soup, it is generally because I have a cold and don't want to cook or go out. So...vegetable and chicken noodle and that sort of mild thing are great...just a hint! I do sometimes buy a Progresso vegetable soup at SuperLake, but it requires an expenditure involving gold bars. AND SIGH--I never seem to get to the organic tianguis, and when I do, I seem to spend an awful lot for not a lot, with the exception of the organic greens, which are wonderful.
