Soups to Warm the Soul in Newport Beach


While our SoCal winters aren’t quite as brutal as in other parts of the country, the chilly weather often satiates our cravings for warmer food. If you’re looking for a great bowl of soup that will keep you satisfied, try these Newport Beach restaurants.

Malarky’s Irish Pub

Malarky’s Irish Pub is a great spot to get your soup fix. Their classic Irish Stew is a crowd favorite. It’s hard to beat a great chili. Whether you get it in a bowl or on top of crispy potato skins with cheddar cheese, Malarky’s chili is a must-try. Clam Chowder is available for seafood lovers, too.

Avila’s El Ranchito
