Winter is here so it's time to wrap up warm, make umbrellas a permanent feature in your going-out gear, and find some tasty grub.
Yelpers bring you their picks of the tastiest bowls of soup across Glasgow and Edinburgh!
Naked Soup
6 Kersland Street, Glasgow
Mhairi S went for the "lentil, sweet potato and coconut soup, and it was delicious. It came with a giant piece of bread and a piece of fruit, chuck in a drink and it came to just under £5. There are usually three soups to choose from."
Union of Genius
8 Forrest Road, Edinburgh
Candace B encourages you to double up your fuzzy feelings: "Ok, yes. And I mean about their whole philosophy. Biking soup around town. Local, sustainable food. 'Gifting' a coffee so someone in need can come in and claim it. Donating soup every month to the homeless."
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street, Glasgow
"It was a wet, windy day so I opted for their soup of the day, spiced Mexican and sweet potato - jackpot," says Trudie M. "Just what you want on a winters day! Two massive slices of fresh buttered bread served up beside it.
Kim's Mini Meals
5 Buccleuch Street, Edinburgh
Caz H's pick? "A spicy kimchi with tofu and seafood soup for me… How much I enjoyed my dinner was evident by the fact that I drank every last drop of soup and left absolutely nothing in the pot."
Stereo
20 Renfield Lane, Glasgow
Lucy B tried the "soup and a sandwich deal - the soup was pea and mint and it was so good, not too minty, just delicately flavoured."
Hula Juice Bar and Gallery
103-105 West Bow, Edinburgh
Take it from Claire L, "I had the chicken soup for lunch and it was awesome! Potential cold had to go somewhere else after that - and it was so damn good and reminded me that I miss having chicken soup for my lunch if I'm out and about."
Gamba
225a West George Street, Glasgow
Roz M recommends "the Gamba fish soup to start, it is nothing short of sensational (with crabmeat and ginger, it has a subtle hint of heat to it) and I highly recommend you go there just to have this."
Field
41 West Nicolson Street, Edinburgh
Blythe R will "certainly be back for another visit soon, as I was highly impressed by their soup, their service, and the general ambience of jocular suavity that permeated the place."
Dumpling Monkey
121 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow
"I got the tom yam seafood noodle soup - the broth is spicy and lemony in a huge portion," raves Jessica P.
The Edinburgh Larder
15 Blackfriars Street, Edinburgh
Magnus H, "asked about their pork and chicken, and they could tell me exactly which farms they got their meat from and what their practices are as far as making sure their animals are humanely treated. This put my fears to rest and I was able to enjoy a meat platter and a soup with my wife, both of which were absolutely delightful."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
