With oyster crackers. Cup $6.95
Capurro’s Restaurant, San Francisco CA
This clam chowder was gross! It tasted like uncooked flour, and all the ingredients felt mushy and overcooked. The bread was also super dry.
Sourdough bread and butter. Complimentary
Red chili broth, smoked meat and hominy, cabbage, radish, cilantro. Side $4
4505 Burgers & BBQ, San Francisco CA
Hmm, this was ok, but it didn’t have as much flavor as other authentic posoles I’ve tried. I liked that they have it as a side option though. And It’s something different for a bbq place.
With bok choy, green onion, cilantro. $6.25
Lee’s Deli, San Francisco CA
I actually crave this for lunch every once in a while. Probably because it’s so salty and I love salt! Honestly though, it’s a pretty big portion and it definitely fills me up. And it makes for a nice and cheap lunch.
Prix fix $45
Laurel Court Restaurant, San Francisco CA
The food and service here were good overall, but I cannot forget or forgive the horrendous behavior from the jerk of a host! He completely ruined our experience and so we will never return to this Laurel Court.
Decera, Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina. $10
Davies Family, Pinot Noir, Sonoma. $15
White hominy, chicken and pork soup, served with cabbage and avocado. $8.75
Zapata Mexican Grill, San Francisco CA
This pozole wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was pretty decent and at a reasonable price. The flavors were nice and they give you a good amount.
Little neck clams, Yukon gold potatoes, smoked bacon, and cream. Cup $7.50
Sam’s Chowder House, Half Moon Bay CA
Mmm, this was pretty tasty. I liked the flavor and there was a good amount of ingredients in the chowder, but it still didn’t compare to the chowder at Spud Point Crab Company.
Bread and butter. Complimentary
Sam’s Chowder House.
Voted best clam chowder 11 years in a row. $6.75
Spud Point Crab Company, Bodega Bay CA
OMFG, this was probably one of the best clam chowders I’ve ever eaten! It’s no joke, this was frickin’ amazing. It was smokey, flavorful, and packed with clams and other ingredients. I loved it’s medium texture, and I could have eaten a vat-full. NOMS!

Malaysian spicy noodle soup, with egg. $13
Azalina’s, San Francisco CA
I’ve never had laksa before and it was very delicious. I wish it could have been a tad bit spicier, but the flavors were really wonderful and comforting. I loved the fried shallots on top and I’m glad I opted for the addition of egg.

Pier 39.
Hue style spicy noodle soup with beef. $7.95
Pho Express, San Francisco CA
This soup was very tasty and nice and spicy. Oftentimes, restaurants will shy away from being too spicy but this had a decent level of heat. I was surprised by the spaghetti noodles though. I guess I’ve never seen that before with these soups, and I’m just used to rice noodles.
Thick broth cooked with shredded pork, black fungus, bamboo shoots, bean curd, scallions, egg, vinegar and pepper. Cup $2.50
R&G Lounge, San Francisco CA
This soup was pretty good. It had a nice spiciness to it and there was a good amount of ingredients. I don’t like it when it’s all broth.

Chicken consomme, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, garbanzos, avocado, queso fresco and chipotle abodabo. $13
Nopalito, San Francisco CA
This soup was very flavorful, but surprisingly light compared to something like a pozole. I didn’t know what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised. The flavors were subtle but well developed. I was tickled by the dried whole pepper plopped in the middle.

Fried garbanzo beans. Complimentary
Polvoron cookie. Complimentary
Cup $2.75
Swan Oyster Depot, San Francisco CA
This chowder was very good, but it wasn’t amazing. I don’t know, I guess I was expecting it to blow my socks off since this place is generally great at everything. They keep it simple, but keep it quality at the same time. This chowder could have stepped it up a couple notches.
Sourdough bread and butter. Complimentary
