Thirty Years of Soup, One Bowl at a Time
Richard Gussoff has been making soup the hard way — fresh ingredients, daily sourcing, no shortcuts — for over thirty years. This is where that craft landed.
The Soup Bowl of Park Slope | Our Story
Twenty Years in Manhattan
Richard Gussoff spent two decades cooking in Manhattan's theater district, building a devoted following one bowl at a time.
Coming to Park Slope
In 2009, Richard brought his craft to Brooklyn, opening The Soup Bowl at 302 7th Avenue — now in its sixteenth season.
The Daily Sourcing
Every morning starts at the farmers' market — whatever's best that day shapes what goes in the pot.
The Menu Never Stands Still
Lobster butternut squash bisque one week, chunky basil tomato the next — no shortcuts, nothing carries over just because it sold out last Tuesday.
Part of the Neighborhood
Art on the walls, counter staff who'll trust you if you're a dollar short — Park Slope families have made this a weekly ritual.
