FALL SOUP TRAIL
You Told Us, We Went: The Soup Trail
There’s something about the first cool days of fall that makes a warm bowl of soup taste even better.
So when we started asking where to find great soup locally, you gave us plenty of places to explore. You told us — and we went.
Our Soup Trail took us through Allentown, Bordentown and Hamilton, stopping at local restaurants and cafés to see what was simmering. We found everything from hearty comfort-food classics to seasonal creations — and, yes, we tasted some seriously good soup along the way.
But this isn’t about naming the “best” bowl in town. It’s about discovering the local places that make our communities special and giving you a few new stops to add to your own fall food adventures.
And we’re not finished yet.
Have a local soup we need to try? Tell us where to go next. You tell us. We go.
