Soup’s On! Where to Find the Best Bowl Near You
Slurp, Dip and Savor: Kansas Soups That'll Bowl You Over!
There is nothing better to warm you up than a comforting bowl of soup when it’s a cold and blustery winter day in Kansas. January is National Soup Month — another reason to grab a spoon and enjoy a hearty bowl at a locally owned restaurant near you.
TANYA’S SOUP KITCHEN

THE WHEEL BARREL

The grilled cheese sandwich is The Wheel Barrel’s signature dish, but the soup pairings are equally delicious. What could be better than a perfectly melted grilled cheese dipped into a bowl of scratch-made Creamy Tomato Bisque? The ideal companion to any sandwich, the restaurant serves a rotating seasonal menu of soups served by the cup or bowl. Broccoli and Cheese with Bacon, Cream of Asparagus and Boston Clam Chowder keep diners coming back for more.
Bonus: Craft beer lovers will appreciate the restaurant’s brews available on tap.

RAMEN BOWLS
918 Massachusetts Street, Lawrence
At Ramen Bowls, slurping is encouraged. The Japanese-Hawaiian fusion eatery serves award-winning bowls of “uncommon ramen” made with rich flavored broths and homemade noodles. Steaming hot noodle bowls like Tan Tan Men Ramen made with sesame-chili pork and Pad Thai Ramen prepared with chicken are shining stars on the menu. Ramen regulars who prefer to pass on meat proteins can request vegan recipes.
Bonus: Kids will appreciate Happy Ramen or Sunshine Bowl served with oodles of thin or wavy noodles.
