"A Lower East Side soup stand in Essex Market helping fuel a lunchtime soup comeback; it’s more than kettles of soup — the stand is taking shop hats to a new level by releasing custom chain-stitch berets by Chain Smoke, as yellow as a turmeric-laden chickpea soup on the stand’s menu, and also offers baseball caps." - Emma Orlow
"After taking over the former Peasant Stockstand in Essex Market and being encouraged by market management to remain a soup vendor, the owner kept her sandwich but prioritized soup: “They called it the soup gap,” she says. The stand has been personalized to feel like an extension of home, with touches such as a corn fridge magnet and a smiley face lamp, and sells several soups that change daily with recipes adapted from cookbooks and recipe developers like Alison Roman. Prices aim to stay reasonable: a small 12-ounce is $7.50, and a large hunk of homemade focaccia or cornbread costs a couple of dollars extra. She has developed a loyal fanbase among neighborhood workers including local school teachers: “When they’re closed for the holiday, we feel the difference,” she says." - Emma Orlow
"At the market drinks and desserts are available from Chomps Élysées." - Melissa McCart
"Inside Essex Market, this first storefront for Tiffany Iung focuses on vegetable-heavy soups and sandwiches and references her time living near the Champs-Élysées in its name; it replaces the longtime Peasant Stock stall." - Emma Orlow
"I'm anticipating Chomps-Élysées, a forthcoming food stand at the Essex Market where owner Tiffany Iung will serve vegetable-heavy soups and sandwiches; it's her first storefront, named for when she lived near the Champs-Élysées in Paris, and it replaces the longtime stall Peasant Stock, with an opening set for this October." - Emma Orlow
