Snowstorms and snow days call for afternoons spent indoors, curled up on the couch with a blanket, a movie, and some piping hot food to keep you cozy no matter how frosty the windows get. And what better meal does the trick than a hearty bowl of chicken noodle soup?
The best thing about this classic soup is that it’s so simple, but it can be made with a signature touch to give it a little extra pizzaz! But, no matter how it’s made, there’s somehow always a hint of that nostalgic homemade taste that reminds you of sick days spent at Grandma’s house.
Check out our list of the best chicken noodle soups in Toronto to warm you up.
RaviSoups
This open-concept kitchen offers plenty of original soup recipes including a corn chowder and specialty Ravi Stew, named for the late owner. RaviSoup’s hotpot broth gives off a taste of Thailand with a coconut milk-infused broth and a touch of lemongrass. The added mango-pineapple might just transport you back to warmer summer days—you know, back when you didn’t need four layers of jackets just to get your mail.
RaviSoups is available for takeaway at 322 Adelaide Street West through Ritual.
Tao Northern Chinese Cuisine
This Leaside bistro offers a stunning and elegant décor to serve up authentic Chinese food. On the lunch menu, you’ll find a chicken noodle soup, made with your choice of a clear chicken broth with mushroom, or a tom yum broth (a distinct spicy and sour soup popular in Thailand). At Tao, customers can also add homemade wontons to make this a chicken wonton soup, served with a deliciously crunchy vegetable spring roll on the side.
Tao can be ordered online through UberEats or DoorDash.
