I was at ORD last weekend and they had a choice of Parmesan, Kale and Sausage or Roasted Corn and Green Chile Bisque. The Sausage one was really good, so good I went back for seconds.

The problem is most clubs I cannot buy soup even at lunch now. It's like it was taken off the menu once the free offering went in place. Hopefully that's changed now as I haven't been in a club during lunch for a month or two to try and buy soup again.

At DFW A today, there was Baja Tortilla as well as another soup on offer. It was pretty good!

Seems as though the soup, crackers, veggies, and crackers are now out at lunchtime in at least in some of the ACs.

At the RDU AC this week they had chicken gumbo or corn chowder. The chicken combo was fairly meh, not spicy like I wanted it to be and if there was any chicken, I never saw it. Still, an improvement over what there used to be.

I was at ORD-H/K last night and saw a new soup for that club: beef chimichuri with white beans (decent but not as good as the sausage and kale)

No soup for you, or at least less of it in the AC
Just had soup at the BOS AC and noticed the soup cups are smaller than the ones last week in the PHL club. The typical cups had some sort of light brownish design if I recall correctly, and held 2 scoops. The ones today are all white and held 1.5scoops. I'm wondering if they ran out of the other cups or if this is the new standard.
Admittedly, the soup is good so maybe we're eating too much of it and this is their way of cutting back.

You can always use coffee mugs, empty pint glasses from the bar, ziploc bags, or anything else that will hold liquid. Get creative!!!

Apparently the previous hours were 3-7, and I'm told it's now 12-8 (or perhaps later; the AC here closes at 8:30, so they begin clearing things after 8).
