Basically, there’s no time that’s not perfect to dip your spoon into a steaming hot bowl of soup.

We’ve rounded up eight unimpeachable local bowls (and three chilis) that’ll leave every inch of your palate warmed and satisfied. (Note: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many places on this list are currently offering only curbside and carryout food. Be sure to call ahead.)
