I FINALLY tried a restaurant I have been wanting to try for a while now and was not disappointed. It is a cute lunch spot located in Starland District of Savannah called Starland Cafe. It is inside an old, brightly painted Victorian-style home with mismatched tables and chairs--a design feature I am truly obsessed with and automatically makes me like a place more.
Anyway, on to the soup. I rarely order tomato soup from restaurants because I feel like it's boring. But I love Thai, and one of my friends who use to be a gourmet chef said that you can really tell if a restaurant is quality or not by their soups. And, I love, love, love soup. Like, eat-it-everyday love it.
Here's my description: Extremely thick, yet not chunky. The typical tomato-red color was toned down by the creamy Thai sauce that brought out the orange hues and off-set nicely by the bright green chives. I was hoping the Thai flavor would be a little stronger, but the soup was still satisfying and tasty. I thought the texture was changed more than the actual taste of the tomato soup by the addition of the Thai hints. Definitely would be nice on a cool fall or winter day with some crusty bread. Nothing like the tomato soup from a can!
