Soup’s on
For a while after Soup’s Vietnamese restaurant opened (at 219 W. Fourth St. in downtown Winston-Salem), I avoided it in disappointment because I didn’t see anything vegetarian on its menu. Happily that has changed.
Informed by kind friends that it now served a vegetarian pho, I was eager to try it. As my group walked in recently, the outgoing owner recognized us from our previous visits to his other restaurant, Downtown Thai, and announced that in addition to the vegetarian pho, many of the other menu items could be made vegetarian.
I chose the Bun Curry. A bowl of flavorful curry with tofu and vegetables was served with a giant plate of noodles, bean sprouts and shredded lettuce. You pour the curry over the noodles, etc., and mix it all together well. As a meal it was warming and filling, yet somehow also light and delicate—and totally delicious. A friend’s bowl of vegetarian pho was also a winner…. We’re talking about going back tomorrow.
