I love a good soup. If you're like me, then you start thinking about soup the second that temperatures start dropping. I wait all year for soup season to roll around. Now that it is November, I thought I'd suggest some places to find good soup around Gatlinburg!

Wild Plum Tea Room 

It is worth going off of the beaten path to grab lunch at Wild Plum Tea Room. They have a tasty tomato bisque on the menu daily, plus rotating soup specials. Keep an eye out for Mediterranean stew or other unique soups! 

Crawdaddy's 

Crawdaddy's is one of my favorite places to eat at when I'm in downtown Gatlinburg. I adore their lobster bisque. The portion is huge and they do not skimp on the lobster. They also have a seafood gumbo that they prepare in the traditional Louisiana style!

If you feel like venturing a little ways outside of town, then you can grab some tasty soup at Foothills Milling in Maryville! They serve authentic she-crab soup that'll knock your socks off!
