Soup’s on

As the weather wears on through the cold and dreary months of winter, Baton Rougeans crave a hot cup of soup. 225 conducted an informal survey on our Facebook page last week, and readers directed us to their favorite ways to warm up:
Seafood Gumbo at Dempsey’s: This lunchtime staple makes delicious seafood and chicken and andouille gumbo in house daily.
Minestrone at Gino’s: Fresh veggies, pasta and a hearty house-made broth prepared daily by Mama Marino—what more could you ask for?
Chicken Soup at Coffee Call: Though they’re known more for their beignets and coffee, regulars know the fresh chicken noodle soup is also to die for.
Soup of the Day at MJ’s: White bean, summer squash, broccoli and curried carrot are just some of the soups made with fresh local ingredients daily at this lunchtime café.
