New York's soup since 1984

Get in line.

Forty soups in the book, nine made fresh in the kitchen every day, every one from the recipes Al Yeganeh created more than forty years ago. A piece of Brooklyn Italian bread, a small fruit, and a small chocolate with every bowl.

Every day in the kitchen

  1. 1 Famous Lobster Bisque
  2. 2 more seafood soups
  3. 3 meat or poultry soups
  4. 3 vegetarian soups

Also every day

  • Lobster Roll chunks of North Atlantic lobster, toasted split roll
  • Chicken Bone Broth
  • Beef Bone Broth
  • Soup ladled into a paper cup
  • A lobster roll on a toasted split roll
  • A cup of chili under shredded cheddar
  • A slice of Brooklyn Italian bread

“Yes, it's the best soup ever.”
