Looking for a light lunch? We spent some time on the ol’ horn this morning finding some hit-the-spot soups: • The Mardi Gras party has already started at Frazer’s Restaurant and Lounge. The Benton Park spot has a shrimp and chicken gumbo along with a green gumbo that packs ham and seven varieties of greens: 314.773.8646.
• Pomme Café & Wine Bar in Clayton lets broccoli be broccoli with a simple purée that’s laced with a touch of cream: 314.721.8801.
• Downtown’s Mosaic doesn’t take soup lightly. Choose between pulled pork-vegetable and loaded baked potato, which features green onion and smoked bacon: 314.621.6001.
