With the change of weather happening nothing sounds better than a big bowl of soup. Whether it is chili, chicken, tomato, potato, or any other soup you prefer Dubois County has a place for you to go.

We asked our Facebook followers who they thought had the best soups in town. These are in no particular order…

Midwest Café and Market

Midwest Café is a locally owned market that specializes in muffins and coffee for breakfast and salads during lunch. Now that doesn’t mean they don’t have delicious soup for those cold days. You never know what soup Midwest Café will have…it all depends on what their mom wants to make that day! You will find Southwest chowder, along with Chicken and rice, to just name a few!

Emerald Greens

Emerald Greens what once started as a mobile culinary adventure, serving up delicious dishes curbside, now finds its roots in a permanent establishment.  Emerald Greens has a soup of the day for $5 or soup and scone for $6. I have heard from several different people the tomato bisque is a favorite of many.  Besides selling great soups Emerald Greens is also known for their salads (10 different kinds), pininis, cookies, and pastries. There is something for everyone to enjoy!  Make sure to check out the Facebook page for a menu of the day.

Grounded

Grounded has over 15 different soups they serve. 90% of the soups are homemade and made with clean ingredients. You can get them in an 8oz cup for $4.99 or 16oz for $6.99. During lunch they have what’s called “Power Hour” where you can call in orders for a quick grab and go. Follow Grounded on Facebook for weekly menu updates on what specials are for the week.

Grounded is more than just a restaurant. It is also a grocery store that specializes in natural food including all organic produce.

Schnitzelbank

The Schnitzelbank  definitely knows a thing or two about making soup, because they have been making their homemade soups for 62 years! Each soup is made each morning in a large 10 and 15 gallon kettles.

There are always 2 soups offered daily Monday thru Saturday. There is a soup  assigned to each day and  the other is by staff choice. Talk about choices… They offer 33 varieties!

Beef Ribble is their most popular soup followed by Chicken Ribble.  These soups, with simple little dumplings, are quite unique and not often made at home.

One could say,  the Schnitzelbank provides soup security for the entire area, selling 100 gallons of soup each week!

Cafe Pina  has quickly become a local favorite in Dubois County. With a menu full of breakfast, lunch, and brunch favorites, they also have a seasonal menu with unique offerings.  Nestled in a cozy setting, the cafe is known for its warm hospitality, high-quality ingredients, and creative flavors.

One of the highlights of the menu is the weekly rotating soup selection, which has become a staple for many regulars. Each week, the cafe serves up a different homemade soup, crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients. From white chicken chilli to hearty roasted corn chowder or a lemon-y chicken noodle, there’s always something delicious simmering in the kitchen.

Soup lovers in Dubois County are in for a treat, with local cafes and restaurants serving up comforting, homemade flavors that make every meal feel special. Whether you’re indulging in the weekly rotation at Cafe Pina, savoring a classic bowl at your favorite restaurant or discovering a new favorite at a local eatery, there’s no shortage of delicious options to warm you up.
