BURRITOS CHOW! Restaurant Listings SOUP NATION’S BOWLS Peruvian Pork & Quinoa Soup Chef and owner Mark Stern started out with Carte Blanche in 1998, which is a popular cart serving 8 to 10 soups each day. He turned that into Carte Blanche Catering, and then in May of 2011, he opened Soup Nation at 5th and High. There he pulls from 80 different kinds of soups and serves them alongside fresh, generous salads and sandwiches. Carte Blanche Catering is “way beyond soup,” Stern says, but soup is what Soup Nation does best, and they do everything from hot to chilled, savory to sweet. “Soup is a good vehicle to do international cuisine,” Stern says. “Soup lends itself to so many different cultures.” GOODNESS FRESH LOCAL Stern and staff make their own baked goods and focus on seasonal availability. “We make everything from scratch,” he says. “Nothing is ‘add water and stir.’ We buy everything locally as much as we can, local coffee … everything’s as locally sourced as we can be.” Soup Nation has a brand new website at www. soupnationeugene.com; check it or their Facebook page for the daily menus.
