New England Soup Factory - Salem

Small business with killer food. Vegetarian options: We had a Mediterranean style wrap with hummus

The soup is amazing, perfect for a cold New England day. They even let you sample it first. I had the chicken and vegetables; they ask if you want noodles, which I did. I paired it with bread that had a nice, flaky crust, was soft inside, and perfect for sopping up extra broth. The soup itself had lots of delicious flavor and was fresh. I wish I had brought home a gallon of the stuff for later. The service is fast and friendly. The space is small and clean.

Guy yelled at us for trying to use the restroom before we ordered (because there were no seats available yet). Then again when we 'took too long ' to decide what we wanted to order. Ended up leaving because we didn 't want to give our money to rude people.

I live very close by and frequent this establishment quite often. Every time I go in there I walk in to amazing smells coming out of that kitchen and I am almost overwhelmed with hunger and joy as a result. The people who work here are extremely nice and helpful and definitely care a lot about your experience inside New England Soup. Now for the soup itself, I am ordering in bulk when I go in there and praying I save some for later. Those soups are perfect. Every time I take a bite I can’t help myself from thinking how much detail and deliberation must go into each recipe. If you are not from the area I hope you give this place a try it is amazing soup. Note the kind folks in there may recognize my face but they do not actually know me. I have eaten from there so many times and every time I am amazed and excited by what I’m eating so I figured it’s time New England Soup Factory gets some praise out of me. Hope you give it a try.

Absolutely my favorite Lunch Spot in Salem the chicken pot pie soup is a must!!!!!
