The Best Soup in Flagstaff

I have found the best soup in Flagstaff. As you can see in previous blogs, there are many fine, tasty restaurants around Flagstaff. Some of these have received impressive awards. Brix, Cottage Place, and Josephine's always have solid offerings of seasonal soups. Some of the Thai restaurants in town offer wonderful, savory concoctions as well.
However, hands down the best soup belongs to: Cuzco Peruvian Restaurant. Cuzco is relatively new in town. They opened, then closed for some remodeling and are back open again. It is a good thing. This soup will invoke cravings.
The winner is "Aguadito de Pollo" (Cilantro Chicken Soup). This soup has a soothing broth as its base, finely minced cilantro that lends complexity, white meat chicken chunks with peas and diced carrots. It is a large helping that comes with plantain chips on the side. It is truly fabulous with a comforting tone, yet a little kick to it that will have you coming back for more.
