We are blessed in Orlando with an abundance of Vietnamese and Cuban restaurants, meaning you’re never far from a good bowl of black bean soup or steaming tureen of phó. But when temperatures get nippy, it’s good to remember that almost every culture has a classic soup, and Orlando probably has a restaurant serving it. From chili to matzo-ball, ramen to borscht, lentil to pozole, we’ve got more than enough bowls of goodness to warm your insides. Soup is good food!
