This wont be a long drawn out post because its about a deli/salad bar type of place and Im not big on delis. But I just wanted to let you know that Le Basket makes goooooood chicken noodle soup! Thats a hearty meal in that paper cup! There are several reasons I like their soup:

1. It’s not self serve! A man dishes it for you. That way you know everybody and their swine flu mama hasnt been touching your soup!

2. The meat is lean white meat.

3. They put potatoes in it along with carrots, celery and of course noodles!

4. Its salty enough that it doesnt need salt, but not too salty. And my friend Lisa Marie S. will be happy to know that theres no dill in it.

5. Its cheap! (about $3.50 for a large)

Theyre right across the street from Au Bon Pain on Broadway, but I walk right passed Au Bon Pain with my nose up in the air straight to good ole Le Basket! Their soup is cheaper, better, and it doesnt smell like hot cheese, socks and azz in there like it does in some other places who will remain nameless *cough Au Bon cough Pain*

Their soup is even better than Whole Foods “Mama’s chicken soup”. The flavor of the soup in Whole Foods is a little tastier, but Whole Foods puts a lot of dark meat in their soup. Me no likey! Plus its self serve so everyone touches all on that soup. No ma’am!

So if youre in the SoHo area and you need some hearty chicken noodle soup, go to Le Basket!
