Americans love soup so much, they consume 10 billion bowls of it each year, according to the Associated Press in 2019. With so many restaurants and eateries serving this dish, where can you find the best bowl of soup in Oregon?

Paadee!

"Paadee, which got its name from a Thai phrase meaning 'to bring good things,' is a Portland mainstay that consistently serves remarkably good Thai food in a cozy setting," writers say about this restaurant. "A real standout is their Tom Kha Gai, which is made with chicken, oyster mushrooms, galangal, scallion, and cilantro."

You can find Paadee at 6 SE 28th Ave in Portland. According to their website, they're temporarily closed for renovations, but they'll be reopening this November!
