We're halfway through March which means you have half a month to visit a Souplantation restaurant (some of which are called Sweet Tomatoes) and sample their Classic Creamy Tomato Soup which I think is terrific. Many of you have written to say you agree. A few of you have written to say that it's just good tomato soup, unworthy of the hype on this blog. You are all correct.
The purpose of this posting is not to hector you to go eat soup. The purpose of this posting is to make Full Disclosure that I am receiving compensation for my endorsements. I didn't ask for 'em but the Souplantation people just sent me a fistful of coupons for free meals…and they also sent me one of those table display cards for my favorite soup. I scanned it and have posted it above, thereby saving me the trouble of stealing one off a table as I was thinking of doing at the end of the month. Not to disagree with my new sponsors but I don't dip Grilled Cheese Focaccia Dippers. What I do is to get a handful of their seasoned croutons from the salad bar and dump 'em in.
If you go over to their website to check on locations or hours, take the time to join their Club Veg. They'll e-mail you great coupons every week. The soup is good at full price but it's even better when it's cheaper. And as I've discovered when they've send me these bribes before, it's best when it's free.
