The legendary Seinfeld line" No Soup for You" made famous by Al Yeganeh's extraordinary creations. It all started back in 1984, way before the classic punchline on Seinfeld, there were long lines in front of Al's Famous Manhattan Soup shop. This was and is a soup worth waiting for, worth staying in line in rain or shine, in sub zero temperatures. His original recipes are made with fresh ingredients and spices, legendary that the New York Times calls it "Art" not Soup.
New Yorkers as well as tourists have long appreciated and followed Al's famous rules: "Pick up the soup you want, Have your money ready and Move to the extreme left after ordering". Hi rules are displayed in various languages, including Italian, and this shows how famous his soups have become. While the soup man offers a daily variety of fresh soups, just to mention a few Lobster Bisque, Manhattan Clam Chowder and Chicken vegetable, we at Italy Classy and Chic bring you a glimpse on two of our favorite Italian classics: Minestrone and Italian Wedding (Classic Italian American Soup).

The classic Minestrone is made only with hearty fresh garden vegetables such as: tomatoes, carrots, celery, spinach, parsnips, all come together with pasta and simmered in vegetable broth. While the "Skinny" Italian Wedding soup, a classy favorite calls for miniature Italian meatballs seasoned with onion, garlic and Italian cheeses are cooked in Al’s broth with carrots, peppers, spinach and semolina pasta.
Though the Soup Man has gone a long way since he first started, now offering a franchising opportunity and created a line of soups for store shelves, the original soup man shop is still located at 259 W55 St (corner of 8th Avenue) New York, NY. If you plan on visiting New York City we recommend to try Any Bowl of Soup from The Original SoupMan. Soup prices range from $10 to $15. Good Soup is worth the wait!
