Chicken Coconut Soup (Tom Kha Gai)

Why We Love It: One of the best ways to explore another culture is through their cuisine, and this multi-dimensional hot pot will transport you to another part of the globe. Bangkok Thai on Main is one of the most authentic Thai restaurants in Park City, and is nestled right on Historic Park City Main Street. One caveat: this soup contains fish sauce, for anyone allergic to seafood. It is, however, completely gluten-free. To make a meal of it, order a side of steamed jasmine rice to accompany your soup.
Senate Bean Soup
Find It: Flanagan’s On Main Irish Pub And Restaurant
The Twist: A very similar soup was said to have been served in the U.S. Senate. A long-boiling pot combines navy beans, ham hock, garlic, carrots, onions and celery with herbs and spices.

Flanagan’s Irish Pub offers a spectacular deal where you can add a cup of this soup to any entrée for just one dollar!

You are also welcome to order a cup or a bowl of the soup a la carte, if you prefer.
French Onion Soup
Find It: Sterling Steak And Lounge
The Twist: There are so many layers to French onion soup! Rich beef broth, soft, savory sautéed onions crusty, garlic-rubbed bread and just a hint of thyme. And that cheese pull! The twist here is that there is no twist, just a classic dish done well.
Why We Love It: Sometimes on a snowy winter day, you just need a quintessential chop-house experience. And there is no better way to start your elegant steak dinner than with a bowl of French onion soup. Once you are comfortably seated at this top-notch steak house, your only real concern will be how to dig your spoon into that thick crust of bubbling melted cheese!
