New England Soup Factory - Salem

This spot is right in the downtown area. It’s a great choice for a quick but healthy meal.

Updating my review from several years ago to state that NESF has yet to do me wrong. Always 10/10 fool-proof soup. There is always at least one vegan option and several vegetarian options, and after going here often for a few years I have never had a single bad vegan soup. The menu rotates a lot and it might be a while before they get that soup you loved back in, but that’s okay because I like variety. Their website is updated daily for what soups they have.

Menu on the board is clearly labeled with VV designating vegan options. I had the lemony lentil soup with wild rice which was SOOO delicious (trust me, I've had lentil soup hundreds of times in my life). A 12 oz soup with a roll was $7.80. Also had half a vegan hummus wrap on lavash which was simple yet well executed (lavash wrap was a nice touch that added structural integrity). That altogether was very filling! Would definitely come again!

Although there was only one vegan option (more vegetarian ones) the vegan soup was really tasty. It was around $7.50 for a small portion and a crusty roll. Would recommend a visit the staff were friendly and helpful and the cafe itself is very cute
