Since 2004 legions of fans have enjoyed the tell-it-like-it-is commentary of host Joel McHale on 'The Soup.' A master of popular culture with disarming humor and quick wit, McHale takes viewers on a wild ride as he shares the best of the latest water cooler moments in entertainment each week! October 20, 2014 October 21, 2014 / rawster2 Get your soup on! With the cooler weather and rain I always crave warm comfort foods and have recently developed a love for hearty soup. Staple noodle soup made by simmering marrow-rich beef leg bones and knuckles with star anise, cinnamon, clove, cardamom, coriander, fennel, charred ginger, and charred onion to create the broth, served with rice noodles and various meats. In a large pot over medium heat, brown beef with pepper and garlic; drain excess fat. Add diced tomatoes, tomato paste, water, and soup mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer for 45 minutes. Stir in the pasta, cover, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pasta, peas, lentils and barley are tender. Joel Edward McHale (born November 20, 1971) is an American actor, comedian, writer, producer, and television host. He is best known for hosting The Soup (2004–2015) and his role as Jeff Winger on the NBC sitcom Community (2009–2015).

Why Revolutionary Soup?

Revolutionary Soup is deceptively named. Sure, you can find great soups at the popular counter-service joints on The Downtown Mall and The Corner. But, there is so much more. In fact, we’ve long thought it might just as appropriately be called Revolutionary Sandwiches.

The building blocks for Revolutionary Soup’s sandwiches, salads, and soups are sourced locally, with delicious results. Wines and beers are well-chosen, too – a plus for those who enjoy an adult beverage with lunch. Of course, while Rev Soup is most popular at lunch, it is a sneaky-good dinner option as well. Healthy, affordable, and delicious. After work, why go home and cook, when you can pick up a thoughtfully conceived and prepared soup, salad, or sandwich? We score big points at home when we walk in the door with a couple of creative salads or a few pints of Lamb Curry.

All come with a fresh roll from Albemarle Baking Company. There is also a long list of sandwiches and salads. Below are our favorite items, owner’s picks, and appearances in Five Finds on Friday, where a chef or personality has named a Rev Soup dish one of the best in town. It seems the lamb curry is a hit.
