At Zoup!, they offer hundreds of soups, with 12 daily-changing varieties including Lobster Bisque and Chicken Potpie soup.

They have soups that are low-fat, dairy-free, vegetarian, spicy or gluten-free. Each bowl is served with a hunk of freshly baked bread. They even allow you a small sample before you decide which soup you want. They also offer freshly made salads, sandwiches and bowls. Their Collegeville restaurant, located in Providence Town Center, is bright, modern, colorful and very popular spot that is always full, so come early for lunch to find your favorite soup.
