İstanbul’s best soup restaurants

A new brand started by young entrepreneurs, SO UP aims to challenge our negative perception of fast food with nutritious, all-natural soups. 

Kapta is one of the most successful fast food ventures in recent years. Their menu features pastas and salads whose recipes were created by chefs trained in the country’s best culinary schools, but what we really love are their daily soups.

The next time you feel a hunger coming on in Karaköy, don’t make the mistake of thinking your only options are fancy burgers or quinoa salads. Instead, head to Hebun Çorba Evi, where you can cozy up to 21 different soups, all offered at reasonable prices. 

Come wintertime, whenever we find ourselves growing hungry in the vicinity of Taksim, our feet lead us straight to Ek Biç Ye İç. 

Open 24/7, Deniz Lokantası is a tradesmen’s restaurant where you’ll find daily hot meals and desserts, but what the eatery really excels in are its soups.
