Tuesday, January 13, 2015

Patrick Sargent, GoLocal Worcester Contributor

The past few weeks have been bitterly cold. Although this is typical weather here in Central MA, it's never easy to get used to. With roughly two months left of winter, GoLocal Worcester has put together a list of the best soups that you can find in Worcester.

Bisques, chowders, gumbos and traditional soups highlight the list of the ten best soups. With a 48 hour forecast of temperatures well below the average, these soups should be selling non-stop this week.

According the National Weather Service, the high will be 18 degrees on Tuesday. So stop on down to Green Street and Shrewsbury Street and try five of the top ten soups. Or spread it out a bit and head on over to the West Side of Worcester and try out an award-winning Lobster Corn Chowder, an incredible bowl of Clam Chowder, and a Vegan Wonton Soup.

So get out your crackers, and dive on in to the best bowls of soup you've ever had.
