Editorial Review for Souper Jenny – by Michael Longshore
The Scene
Think tiny flickering tea candles, heaps of soft cushions and mix-and-match crockery. And all with an element of theatricality--a new-age Punch-n-Judy show might bust loose at any moment. Peak times cater to the hip contingent of Ladies Who Lunch and glass-ceiling types.
The Food
Mostly everything on the menu winds up being hearty and nicely seasoned. Chicken noodle soup like your mythical grandma used to make. Turkey chili that makes you forget there's turkey in it. And chicken tortilla soup that's a hangover cure in waiting. Obviously a big draw during the cold weather, they do a nimble job of navigating the hot summer months (closed in August). Skip the cold soups for a salad plate or sandwich.

Insider Tips
ParkingIn spite of the East Andrews street address, it's easiest to park in the lot off Cains Hill Place. Traveling north on Roswell Road, turn left onto Irby, right again onto Cains Hill, left into lot opposite Churchill Arms.

Souper Jenny is close to my office, and I'm always looking for an excuse to have lunch there! The food is incredibly fresh, amazingly tasty, and relatively healthy. Quite possibly my overall favorite restaurant in Atlanta, and that's saying a lot! The one downside - the crowds!!! If you try to eat there at high noon, you'll be waiting in line with Buckhead Bettys galore, and the dining room can be packed. The employees are cheerfully flaky, but very friendly and knowledgeable, though they rarely do a good job of moving customers through the line quickly. Try eating early or late, though the restaurant does tend to run out of items later in the day. Sunday brunch is great too (and usually not so crowded), but beware an influx of post-church Buckhead mommies and daddies with their noisy rugrats. Did I mention that the food is spectacular?!
Pros: Incredible food!
Cons: The crowds - adults on weekdays, hetero families on weekends.

I tried this restaurant after reading about in the AJC. When I went there, none of the soups sounded appealing to me, but I gave it a try. So di my daughter who is a very picky either and not willing to try much out of her comfort zone. Our soups were amazing! I had Everything Vegetable and she had My Daddy's Turkey Chilli. I tried hers and she tried mine (she is not a veggie eater). We both were impressed with both soups. We will definitely go back to try more.
Pros: good eating, reasonable price
Cons: Too far from my house
