I was trying to eat light, but Raz was starving, so our morning of errands halted for lunch and became a full-day excursion. Raz originally ordered the Lox and Cream Cheese, but the kitchens were unexpectedly out of Lox, which we discovered after ordering. He had to go back to the menu and choose again, eventually deciding on the Focizzaia. I ordered the green Chile Chicken Soup in bowl-size, which I think was the Soup of the Day at our visit.

The wait for our food was not long, but I, too, was voracious by the time it arrived. Raz's unpronounceable sandwich was quite tasty, the ingredients fresh and flavors well-balanced. It absolutely paled in comparison to my soup, though. The "soup" was not some thin broth with a few chunks of meat and veg, no, far from it. This was a thick, almost bisque-like base packed full of savory chicken pieces, visible roasted NM green chile, and a few other bits that add flavor and texture. The "bowl" was bigger than my head, so I shared a significant amount with Raz, and still felt full-to bursting.

Turns out that at the Uptown location, you can actually buy the Soup frozen in 1 gallon bags to take home and make for later. The only thing that kept us from taking advantage of this was that afternoon's worth of errands we'd have had to reschedule to get the Soup to our freezer before melting. We are definitely going back in the not-too-distant future. Next time we will also bring a cooler for take-home soup, since I woke up the morning after our initial visit craving another bowl!
