WHERE TO FIND GOOD SOUP IN PAISLEY

ASHTREE HOUSE HOTEL, ORR SQUARE
The observant among you will notice that the Ashtree House Hotel is a hotel, and not a cafe or coffee house. But it is a small and friendly hotel, one where the customer care is genuine and not learned parrot-fashion from a course, and as such I am more than happy to include their tea-room here. They have two soups on each day, and pride themselves in using only Scottish ingredients. It's not far from the museum, so maybe you could have a bowl of 'Bacon & Lentil' or 'Cream of Leek' here, visit the museum, then have more soup at the Coffee & Cream. I have it on firm authority from the Director General of Health that having more than one bowl of soup each day will cause you no harm whatsoever.

PAISLEY ART CENTRE, NEW STREET
There's always a nice smell of food in the Paisley Art Centre cafe, and you generally want to sit about for longer than is necessary. It just feels good. The building was once an old church - the Laigh Kirk - and built in 1738. Inside, one soup, like 'Mushroom' or whatever, is on offer each day.

MACPHEE'S, MAIN STREET, BARRHEAD
Barrhead lies just south of Paisley. MacPhees has been recommended by soupslurper Kate, and appears to be a fast-food takeaway sort of place that offers a quite magnificent range of homemade soups with varieties like, 'Lentil', 'Chicken Broth', 'Pea and Ham', 'Minestrone', 'Potato and Leek', 'Scotch Broth', 'Yellow Split Pea', 'Chicken and Sweetcorn', 'Chicken and Rice' (must be a few folk from Ayrshire in the area), along with creamy soups made with either Broccoli or Tomato or Cauliflower or Mushroom or Lettuce... now there's a new one on me: 'Cream of Lettuce'... hmm, I'll have to try that. Thank you to Kate for that comprehensive list.
