I used to to think that Soup Spoon is a place for a light meal, but no longer so. It only applies if you order just the soup which comes with a smallish but usually nicely warm bun. For me and rest of friends, the top up to a meal usually works better.
For any soup of any size, you add $4.80 for a half salad / wrap (add another $1 for premium items which are indicated on the menu), plus a drink or small pack of chips. I think the prices has slightly gone up if I'm not wrong.
Tokyo chicken stew ($6.30 for small) - this is my default order, and yes I know its abit strange to pair clear soup with bread but you see, they have calorie count against each type of soup, and my other only choices are pumpkin and tomato which I don't fancy. A bowl of this is almost equivalent to 2.5 time of clam chowder too, which is very helpful knowledge for me! The stew is served hot, with the chicken pieces quite lean and the lotus roots and celery bits in the soup still retaining abit of their natural crunch. I like.
Nann ($1.50 to replace the regular bun with this) - the carbo-fetish in me did, and while their naans are freshly made and really quite good, I could only finish half of it. There's a choice of garlic or cheese too if you're adventurous.
Thai chicken vermicelli - comes with a few strands of sprouts and 3 cherry tomatoes which was the best part of the salad. Also saw some bits of celery and carrots in it. The vermicelli itself didn't taste thai and instead was too salty, very strange. Think you're better off with the asian tofu salad.
Ice lemon tea - I actually quite like their ice tea which is not too sweet.
It also pays to apply for a Soupaholic card, their reward system. No discounts but you accumulate points to redeem or subsidize your next meal there. Good enough for me~
The raffles city outlet is crazy packed so be prepared.

super crowded, with rather cramped seats when i was there ):
but the food is really good (: had the beef goulash soup set with penne salad and iced tea. was a bit shocked to find out the bill was 10.90
anw the beef goulash is really heart warming, simple, and full of veggies and chunks of beef. more like a stew than soup, really. came with a warm, soft roll..the combination of the two is really heavenly.
the penne salad was alright, penne was abit rubbery but the mushrooms that came with it were absolutely gorgeous. indescribable. take one bite and it bursts with juice.
i would reccomend that the set be shared between two, cos its really too much for one person.

seems like there are lotsa fans of soup spoon here but frankly im not very impressed with my first visit. hope i dont offend anyone :P
hmm i ordered a mushroom soup, a ham n cheese sandwich and something like a garlic pita.
had the grande size soup, which is no doubt a pretty big bowl. shared it with my boyfriend and heh both of us cant really finish, along with the sandwich and pita bread.
the soup is not as creamy as i expected but its real thick, with lotsa mushroom. definitely not stingy with their ingredients. along with the pita bread, its actually quite filling already.
and just one sidenote, their ice lemon tea is pretty tasteless. hah! that aside, the sandwich itself is pretty normal to me even though my boyfriend commented its nice.
spent about $15 for a meal shared by two.

Go for their set menu, it's more worth it! you get to try both the soup and sandwich, at arnd 10 odd dollars, much cheaper than if you were to order them separately.
been to this raffles city outlet lately, and i was surprised to find many of the sandwich flavours sold out on a weekday night. plus, my friends n i really werent all that late to reach, maybe around 8pm? so the variety we had was limited. do visit early if u want to have more choices, all the better if you visit during the off peak afternoon hours. easier to get seats, you can eat leisurely, plus the service wld usually be better then.

Was a on-off customer of soup spoon since their first outlet in raffles place. Still remember they used to provide free flow of bread in the early days, but reckon they dropped this option realising they are dealing with Singaporean type of consumers.. its also a smart move to remove the free flow bread concept and expand their menu with other carbo replacements which generates revenue. ^_^
My current favorite is their tomato basil soup. The flavour is tangy with a hint of spice, consistency is not too thick & suitable for those still prefer soups that doesn't taste like thick cream. The raffles city outlet serves nann too & its pretty authentic ( u can see the nanns freshly baked as you queued for your turn. )
One tip, service quality is mediocre especially when queues are long during feeding times... be ready for an unsmiling counter staff as they try to clear the queues asap....

It was my 3rd time dining at Soup Spoon but my 1st at Bugis's outlet. Ordered Peppery Chicken Hotpot and Asian Sweet Corn Chowder and tuna mayo sandwich drink. The chicken hotpot is of course peppery but still acceptable to me. The corn chowder is what i term very "corny", there is simply so much corn in the soup! We couldn't finish the corny soup.. Had the tuna mayo takeaway. But it was as filling as ever! oh.. and their staff were really polite and helpful too! Would definitely go back to try other soups!

I love The Soup Spoon! The last time I went was a few years ago and I was happy to go again recently to find that it has expanded! There's more seating area now although it's really cramped cos they tried to put as many seats as possible. On weekday evenings, the place was absolutely brimming with people! It was sheer luck that my friend and I managed to get a table!
Food Ordered:
Seafood Clam Chowder in Bread Bowls - 2 servings
Tuna Mayo Sandwich
A bottle of Snapple
I love the clam chowder ($8.20) because it's so thick and flavourful! And it's fun eating up the whole bowl with it. One serving of this is actually enough for two people so my friend and I were absolutely full after...
The Tuna Mayo Sandwich was tasty but not extraordinarily. Serving is just right for one person, provided you don't order anything else much.
The total bill came up to about $25, which I find very reasonable since we ordered enough to feed 3 people. Definitely worth many more visits!
