Pilgrimage to France

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

Spent last week in France and sampled some O.S. from the motherland.  Overall, my rating would have been high on the cheese and low on the soup.  The broth was remarkably bland at all 4 places I tried.

Pines Ale House - Pembroke Pines, FL

Served as typical pub fare, this soup definitely rates in the upper eschelon of its genre.  It’s just provolone cheese, but they do a very good job of browning it, and it has a good flavor.  The soup has just the right amount of salt.  Note that this is one of a chain of “Miller’s Ale Houses”, each being prefixed with its city.  I’ve found the soups to be consistent in quality throughout the chain.

Rating 6.5 out of 10
