Soupy comfort

It's that time of the year when the temperature dips, and now, the untimely rains mean that the evenings are cool enough to enjoy a hot bowl of soup. If you're looking to satiate some soupy cravings, here are some places where you can get a bowl of broth:

Looking east

Ditch regular soup and try some slurpy thukpa, instead. The Tibetan noodle soup is a comforting and healthy option, and this North-Eastern eatery at Kalina offers a chicken version. Also worth trying out is their spicy crabmeat soup, tom kha soup, and chicken manchow soup.
