WHERE TO FIND GOOD SOUP IN EDINBURGH
SOUTHERN CROSS CAFE, 63a COCKBURN STREET
Located just down from the Royal Mile, the Southern Cross Cafe is a good cafe. For one, they have a real fire, which in itself marks the place out as very very special. Inside, it is modern and atmospheric, with nooks and crannies, balconies and an iron spiral stair. Usually one soup on each day, like, 'Tomato' or 'Butternut Squash with Coconut.' A real gem.

ALWAYS SUNDAY, 170 HIGH STREET
A bright and exceedingly cosy place on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Soups on offer could be 'Yellow Split Pea' or 'Chunky Vegetable and Tomato' or whatever. A good place to hide from the tourist hustle and bustle, and as it's Always Sunday, you can just sit around not doing a great deal except slurping soup.

DEACONS HOUSE CAFE, BRODIE'S CLOSE
The Deacons House Cafe is an old atmospheric place up a dim arched pend near the top of the Royal Mile. The soups are very traditional or, as one visitor said, 'like Granny used to make'. Soup of the day could be 'Carrot' or 'Scotch Broth' or 'Pea' or 'Potato' or 'Mushroom' or whatever. Lilian, a visitor who stays beyond Scotland's borders (you see, there are other people out there!), had this to say: 'It's small and cosy and it also has wonderful sandwiches and desserts we remembered from our childhood days.'

UNION OF GENIUS, 8 FORREST ROAD
Something very very special here folks. I haven't visited it yet, but I'm very much looking forward to doing so. Union of Genius proclaims itself as 'Scotland's First Soup Cafe'. Each day they make and serve up to six soups, all 'flavour-matched with locally-baked artisan breads.' They even have an all-day breakfast soup. As well as a great emphasis on the use of local ingredients, they actually serve some of their soup in edible crockery in the form of bread soup bowls. Crikey - that's gorra save on the washing-up, as well as being novel and unquestionably tasty. Union of Genius is located in Edinburgh's Old Town, not far from the National Museum of Scotland. With soups like 'Chorizo, Tomato and Butterbean', I simply cannot wait to get there.
