There’s something deeply comforting about soup—especially in the heart of winter. January is National Soup Month, and at Roggenart, we’re celebrating the simple joy of a warm, homemade bowl shared in a cozy space. When the air is crisp and the days are shorter, soup brings people together, nourishes the body, and feeds the soul. Our Tomato Soup and Onion Soup are the perfect examples of how thoughtful ingredients, slow preparation, and a welcoming atmosphere turn a meal into a moment.
At Roggenart, soup is never an afterthought. Our Tomato Soup is rich, velvety, and full of real flavor. We start with ripe tomatoes, gently simmered to bring out their natural sweetness, then blend them with aromatic herbs and a touch of cream for balance. The result is a smooth, comforting soup that pairs beautifully with our fresh-baked breads and pastries. It’s nutritious, satisfying, and made the way soup should be—slowly, carefully, and with intention.
Our Onion Soup is equally soul-warming. Built on layers of caramelized onions, this soup develops deep flavor over time. The onions are cooked low and slow until they’re golden and sweet, then simmered in a savory broth that feels hearty without being heavy. It’s a classic, timeless soup that feels like a warm hug on a cold day—especially when enjoyed in one of our cozy cafés.
One of the best things about soup is that it’s not only delicious, it’s nourishing. Both our tomato and onion soups are made with wholesome ingredients that provide warmth, comfort, and nutrients—perfect fuel for winter days. Soup is hydrating, easy to digest, and filling, making it an ideal choice when the weather calls for something hearty yet comforting.
Inspired to make soup at home? It’s easier than you think. For Tomato Soup, start by roasting or simmering fresh tomatoes with garlic and onions, then blend with vegetable or chicken stock. Add herbs like basil or thyme, season to taste, and finish with a splash of cream if you like it extra smooth. For Onion Soup, slice onions thin and cook them slowly in butter or olive oil until deeply caramelized. Add broth, let it simmer, and season simply—patience is the key ingredient. While nothing replaces the Roggenart experience, making soup at home is a wonderful way to bring that warmth into your own kitchen.
Of course, soup is about more than what’s in the bowl—it’s about where you enjoy it. Roggenart is designed to be a cozy retreat from the cold, a place where friends meet, conversations linger, and community is built. When winter winds blow outside, there’s nothing better than stepping into a warm café, wrapping your hands around a bowl of soup, and sharing the moment with others.
This National Soup Month, we invite you to slow down, savor the season, and join us at Roggenart. Come in from the cold, enjoy a comforting bowl of tomato or onion soup, and be part of the warmth, flavor, and community that make Roggenart feel like home.
