You probably don't associate our state with soup if you're not from Arizona. Spicy Mexican food, yes. Creamy tomato bisque, probably not.

As the weather changes and the summer heat gives way to a fall crispness, my heart and soul begin to crave the cozy comfort of delicious homemade soups.

An Array of Soup Choices

Cochise County is lucky to have an array of tasty choices, each flavor made with care and craftsmanship at local restaurants. Some of these dishes have been passed down from parent to child over generations, reaching the peak of perfection in a steaming hot bowl of tasty goodness.

The range of flavors, ethnic qualities, and sometimes homegrown spices are added to these simmering masterpieces, and they're a comforting delight to the senses on a crisp, fall day. Or any day, really, if you're as passionate about soup as I am.

Researching the Best Soups in Cochise County

Before I get too deep in the soup here, I will fully admit this is a somewhat biased list. I didn't set out to create this list, but it sort of found me. It's by no means complete, and if you've got a favorite soup that wasn't included here, please drop me a note and let me know what I should sample next.

Also, while I've tasted every soup on this list, I didn't get a photo of each one, so regrettably, some of the images are for illustration purposes only. The photos don't necessarily reflect the presentation you might find if you go to the restaurant and order a cup or bowl yourself.

While I did my best to find photos close to the original, they're not perfect. You'll probably also notice that I have a fondness for Vietenamse Pho soup and German soups.

If you have a lead on a soup I didn't include on this list, please let me know! Soup makes me happy, and I'm always happy to dip my spoon in a new flavor!
