“At that time, I worked a few blocks away and often stood on that line, cash in hand, to purchase soup. It was indeed the best.”
I remember trying it a few times myself. The soup was indeed, very good. But what impressed me was the “packaging”. I remember the soup being accompanied by a nice piece of warm crusty bread, and a fancy piece of gourmet chocolate, all placed in a really nice high quality little shopping bag. Very unusual for “takeout”.
I heard bread was $2.00...$3.00......No soup for you!
