Soup Flights are a Thing at This Newburyport, Massachusetts, Gem
October is upon us and you know what that means don't you? Two words, my friend: SOUP SEASON!
I am a bit of a self proclaimed soup aficionado. I get a little crazy with the soups I make. Last year my mission was to create soups inspired by all of my favorite sandwiches. I did a Philly Cheese Steak soup with a creamy cheez wiz broth.
There was a Rueben soup with sauerkraut and chunks of corn beef. (of course I dipped toasted rye bread into it. I am no amateur.)
I even experimented with an Italian Sub soup. If we're being honest, that one ended up being a little gross. Some sandwiches should just be left as sandwiches and not converted into soups.
I have also been known to dabble in a cold soup, especially in the Summer time! It's not for everyone but if you can put aside the impulse to blow on the spoon before taking a bite (I won't lie, I've still done it out of a habit) cold soup can be refreshing and enjoyable. One of the best soups I've ever had was a cold cucumber basil soup with heirloom tomatoes topped with fresh mozzarella. I'm happy just thinking about it.
Now that I have expressed my undying love of soups to you, it is all to set the stage for an exciting announcement The Goat in Newburyport, Massachusetts, made on their social media.
For all my fellow soup loving girlies (and fellas) The Goat in Newburyport just launched their new Soup flight. Check out this beauty with French onion soup, chili, and southwest chicken & corn 'chowda'😋
Isn't she a beauty? You have some haters in the comments claiming that chili and chowder are not technically soups so it shouldn't be included in a soup flight. Those people can stick it where the sun don't shine (with all due respect) I don't care what you call this dish, it's an excellent idea and all three bowls belong in my belly.
Folks have also been inquiring if this is only available at the Newburyport location. This is a valid question as The Goat also has locations in Hampton, Portsmouth and Manchester.
After some research (aka checking their social media) the answer is: YES! The soup flights are available at all locations of "The Goat".
Happy soup season to those who celebrate!
