Now that the first flakes have fallen on Denver, scarves, snow tires and soup are all crucial items with which to get through the cold. Here you'll find suggestions for seasonal, steaming bowls - from simple noodles and broth, to creamy tomato basil, and more. If one of your favorites is missing, leave us a recommendation in the comments section below.
This Pearl Street staple gives Boulderites traditional Japanese fare. Sushi Tora offers ramen with Chinese-style egg noodles, meat and veggie-based broths, sliced pork, dried seaweed, and fish cakes.
As the Curtis Park dining scene has heated up, The Populist has set the bar high with its contemporary warmth, petite but packed-with-a-punch menu that regularly rotates. As the chill has set in for the season, The Populist put a puree of chickpea soup on the menu and it is 100% worth the hype.
Bop up to Boulder to try Hosea Rosenberg's Blackbelly Market - a retail market and restaurant, curing room and whole-animal butchery. The two soups presently on the menu are a red kuri with blue crab, candied pecans, and apple, as well as a hatch green chili posole with smoked pork and fresh tortilla on top.
With a famed approach to meal and menu-making, Fruition Restaurant serves up a soon-to-be-winter soup with gigante beans, spicy fennel sausage, cannellini bean relish, and crispy kale.
Hotel Teatro's contemporary Colorado cuisine is set amid a heavy three-sided bar and open, wood-fired oven. The historic space is cozy - mixing vintage and modern seamlessly to set the stage for a blend of well-prepared small plates and larger dishes. This time of year, the minestrone is a wonderful lunch or dinner option at the boutique hotel, made with root vegetables and fregula pasta.
With a focus on local ingredients, this discrete, organically-minded lunch location in the Golden Triangle has a garden on top of its storefront space. The lengthy list of salads, sandwiches, smoothies and rotating seasonal soups is made from scratch daily. A few visits will help you select a favorite. Until then, try either the popular red lentil soup with red bell peppers or our favorite, the tomato coconut.
The pressed white tablecloths – a rarity in Denver dining – carry the weight of Potager's ever-changing menu of items. Check out the Isabelle Farm winter squash and cider soup this season, with Alepo pepper, mint, and topped with a handful of pumpkin seeds.
Scratch-made, Southern style home cooking in a quaint and homey setting - the two locations of Sassfras bring buffalo chili as well as chicken and andouille gumbo.
