when i worked in seattle, i would come here for lunch all the time to get a cup of soup, maybe a sandwich, and usually a freshly baked cookie (oatmeal milk chocolate). and now, several years later, they've opened branches throughout seattle, including one in the bellevue square mall.

cindy and i stopped for lunch to fuel up for post-christmas shopping - spicy corn chowder and a turkey pesto sandwich. specialty's soups are always thick, creamy and very comforting. i once asked them if they used cream and they said instead they used some sort of grain to thicken the soup for the texture without the calories. of course you can make up for those calories with one of their freshly baked cookies or a sandwich on their freshly baked bread. so good.
