THE SOUP: Campagnola

THE COST: $10.50

Campagnola is made with white and black beans, lentils and chickpeas, with chicken stock as a base. This rustic and refined production is finished under a pastry lid and looks a little like a homey, humble version of Paul Bocuse's classic black-truffle soup. -- Peter M. Gianotti

Long Island's best soups

Hot soup on a cold winter's day is a whole-body experience. The steam rising from the surface fogs up your glasses. As it makes its way down, the soup warms your mouth, throat, chest and belly - a really great soup can even warm your toes. And soup served in a high-sided bowl lets you cup your hands around it so you can warm them up, too.

Soup is also an occasion for culinary artistry, and these are local masterpieces.

"Warning-the food served at Chili& Curry's buffet is inedible. It is neither spicy Indian nor does it have the complexity of Thai. I have tasted this soup as well as many of their other dishes and won't be back. "
