Recipe for a Cold Winter: Take one part Windy City,two parts sub-Arctic temperatures, mix vigorously.

Southport Grocery & Cafe knows it’s cold outside. We also know that the best antidote is a bowl of hot soup. Our shelves are lined with the goods to get you started.

A soup is only as good as its stock. More Than Gourmet’s line of Beef, Vegetable & Chicken Stock ($5.25) are the best around. More Than Gourmet also makes Glaces from Duck, Chicken, Lamb,
Veggies & Seafood ($3-8.50)

Homemade soup doesn’t have to start from scratch. Let Cockwell & Company Gumbo Mix ($12.95) or Green Chile Stew ($11.95) give you a leg up. All you have to do is add the meat.
Canterbury Organics Mixes make soup making a cinch. Add Pumpkin to their Curried Pumpkin Soup Mix ($6.50). After The Feast Lentil Soup Mix ($6.50) requires your left-overs to create a scrumptious bowl.

Soup Bowls…Just Add Soup

Want to make soup the old-fashioned way? By heating it up? We offer our own made-from-scratch soups in the deli case (16 oz. for $5.00). The ultimate gourmet canned soups are Maggie & Mary’s
Chicken Dumpling, Pot Roast, Hungarian Mushroom, French Onion & Creamy Wild Rice ($7.00).

Have extra soup left over? No worries. Stick it in the freezer for the next cold day. No room in the freezer? No worries. Stick it outside on the porch.

Hi everyone! We just got back from the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Diego. We found a lot of great new things that will arrive in the store throughout the Spring. More to come!

Those are the 4 words every guest wants to hear upon arriving at Southport Grocery & Cafe. On a busy weekend morning, these 4 words sound even sweeter.

Waiting for a table can be frustrating as the aroma of stuffed french toast, the din of clinking coffee mugs and the sight of smiling, seated customers conspire to taunt you.

We don’t want you to be on the outside looking in…
That’s why on weekends, we recommend arriving before 10am. And to beat the weekday lunch rush, arrive either side of our busiest time Noon-2pm. Follow these rules of thumb and you’ll hear 4 better words…
“Sit anywhere you like.”
