Soup Diary 110227

While down in Las Vegas I had the opportunity to sample several varieties of soup, three at the same place (a soup and salad bar called Sweet Tomatoes). The first of these was a potato, tomato and spinach concoction that was fairly satisfying in a hearty, rib-sticking sort of way, but not exactly what I'd call tasty. There was absolutely nothing noteworthy about the flavor, which was dominated (surprisingly to me given the mix) by the potatoes. As a hot appetizer on a cold day it would've been fine; as the centerpiece of a meal it was just too bland. I'm not sure why I expected more than that, but I did. I'd say that the odds of me ever ordering this again, especially if it was one of several options, are just about nil.
