I've wanted to try Union of Genius' soup for so long but as they say "If Mohammed will not go to the mountain, the mountain must come to Mohammed" and there it was! Union of Genius in my office for one hour serving their delicious soups! And so I finally had a chance to try their soup and I must say I've never ate better! Only maybe my mom makes a better one but she lives far away so this is my number one soup option now in Edinburgh. I had a sweet potato soup with coconut accompanied by olive bread and it was delicious! Tick and filling and even though it was only a small size that I got it was big enough! I'll be going to their place on Forrest Road, now there is no distance between me and the soup!
What a great find! An unsuspecting green frontage leads you into a plethora of taste sensations served in bowls. Let's face it - Edinburgh rarely gets hot enough to turn your nose up at soup, but it does, they also put on a range of gazpacho. Seven peeps make up the union and they have a truck that parks by the university as well as the shop. Check them out. The food and staff are lovely.
There’s no doubt about it. If you want soup in this city, there is only one place to go: Union of Genius. But don’t take my word for it – they have a whole rack of awards and accolades, judged by people far more worthy than I, that goes to show just how soupy their soup is. I first discovered Union of Genius in a seemingly unrelated cafe a few miles away in Leith. I worked in an office nearby and every lunchtime without fail I would pop in to get my daily soup fix. The flavours were varied, exotic and unusual, ranging from bacon and butternut to caldo verde, but no matter what I chose, I always savoured every mouthful.
