The Soup Place

This laneway soup bar will warm you from the inside out in more ways than one. See that wall covered in post-it notes with messages like “Be safe tonight, you are important”? They’re from generous folk who have tacked an extra $3.50 onto their $7.50 bowl of soup to feed a homeless person in Melbourne. The Soup Place call it a 'pay it forward' system. On a winter day, there’s nothing better than a steaming bowl of creamy, chunky soup ladled straight from a big, black kettle and served with crusty baguette.
